I'm still alive! (and here's some pretty pictures)

It’s been awfully quiet here this week, but rest assured – I am still alive.

It’s been a whirlwind of a weekend/week on our journey to move to Colorado (if you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen pictoral evidence that I’m still alive – at least there’s always time for posting photos!).

Saturday= packing, going away party
Sunday= packing up trailer, moving into mom & dad’s house
Monday= cleaning rental, finishing packing trailer, trailer picked up, spa and dinner with girlfriends
Tuesday= finish cleaning rental, catch up on some work, stop to say goodbye to close friends, dinner with parents-in-law
Wednesday= husband leaves for long solo drive to CO (he has already arrived safely), pick up dad at airport who is returning from vacation, more work catch up

Today I’ll be doing more work and final prep for the move, which FINALLY culminates tomorrow night when I fly with the two kiddos and my dad to Colorado. Phew, I will be so glad when it’s over.

At the moment, I am tying up loose ends (like calling to find out when the couch I want for the new house will be in stock – you know, super important things) and trying to work when I can while also keeping my kids from destroying my parents non-child-proofed house. Lincoln won’t stop pulling pans out of the kitchen cabinets and standing in them (?), and Mia has put her baby down for a nap in every conceivable and inconvenient spot, like on top of the toilet seat and in front of the front door.

And I have to plug in to use the internet, which is new to my wifi-spoiled self. Since the internet in is the room where my daughter is sleeping, it means no work or internet past 8:00 p.m. It all feels so wrong.

what’s this “ethernet” cord you speak of?

To keep myself sane, I am trying to joyfully search for ideas to decorate the new house. So because I have nothing better to say, here are some pretty pictures that I am drawing inspiration from.
