This Weekend

posted on: Friday, July 15, 2011

You guys, it's official! We got the house!!!! Aaaaaaaah! We are SO excited! I've dreamed of living in a little 1950's bungalow for a while now and I'm beyond excited to finally get to nest in one! We have HUGE trees, the biggest deck I've ever seen, a mega big yard with a creek behind our fence! On my new back porch it feels like I'm in the magical woods, for reals! Birds like crazy, lots of shade and we have a tree in our new front yard for a tree swing for the Forest boy! We move in in just over a week and my heart has butterflies! We will be a hop, skip and a jump away from SO many of my favorite spots in Charlotte, which will be so nice, especially since gas has gotten so expensive, plus lots of our friends are close by. 

Today is another full day, let me tell ya! Cleaning, packing, then this afternoon a couple of gals are coming over to talk cloth diapering (Lorean, my cloth diaper guru is leading the discussion.) Then tonight, me and my boys get to watch one of my favorite little girls, Micah.  Saturday is a big event, more than worthy of a mention. You guys, 4-5 families, all friends of ours are joining forces to have a HUGE garage sale. I don't think you can even grasp how much stuff there will be. To top it off, we will have live jazz/bluegrass music provided by 2 of the husbands. Yes, live music. I'm so excited! Hopefully we will sell all of our extra stuff that we have no desire to move and have a grand time! I'll be sure and take pics and do a post on the day. :)  Did I mention that we have gotten ALL of our top quality packing boxes for free from a nice family off of craigs list? Yep, most of them have lids and handles, it's been such a blessing. Well, I'm off to my check list for the day with Over the Rhine playing throughout the house. Have the loveliest of Fridays and a restful weekend!
