thanks everyone! i'm feeling better. i went to the doctor, and i didn't wake up with puffy eyes today. hopefully it won't get worse. the 20k is in a couple weeks, and even though i haven't been running at all for the last week, i'm still planning on doing it. probably not the smartest decision...

we are slowly getting organized here. we still have lots of painting to do, but it's starting to look like home. i wanted to get the girl's room done before they came home from grandma's on saturday. it was the one room we don't want to paint (i like the yellow in there), so it was a lot easier than the other rooms will be. the light wasn't very good when i took these, but it gives you the idea. this is the view out their bedroom window. actually, that is the view out every window from the back of the house.
from their bedroom window, you can kind of see the deck off the master bedroom.

woke up with puffy eyes this morning. less than a week of living in the woods, and i already have poison ivy. ahh! this brings back memories - when i was about 10, i had it so bad on my face, that my eyes swelled shut. it was horrible! i'm off to the doctor this morning because i know i need to get on something. oh, and sweating makes it worse. i guess i won't be running for a little while.

latest

I've been feeling so loved lately! Mother's Day was full of handmade cards and lots of hugs. When we moved everything out of our old house last Saturday, we had so much help. It was really more help than we needed. Steve's family took the kids this week, so we could get our house cleaned and close on the new house. Also, a friend invited us over this week because she knew we were hanging out in a bare house, and the kids were going a bit stir-crazy. And, our neighbors gave us a going-away party this week. So nice!

Closing went well, and we are in the new house now. We already feel at home, which is amazing because it usually takes us a while before that happens. Well, I'm off to unpack more boxes. I will post some pictures soon. Can't wait to catch up w/all of you again soon.

4 more days and we'll be in our new house.
So, I'm busy thinking about all the things we will do to make it home. We're going to need stools for the island in the white kitchen (an island! never had one of those!). here are a couple options i like:
i'm leaning more toward the one with the back because i think it would be better for the kids. what do you think?

::it's been busy here. it's looking pretty bare here these days. we're moving all our stuff to the garage of the new house this saturday. we'll be living in an empty house for 6 days. the kids are so excited to be "camping at home." should be memorable!
