End of May Already

Time flies when you're having fun... We've been busy getting the house together...and well...with life in general. I thought it was time I got back on here and blogged a few things.

The month in review:

Mother's Day was interesting. Not quite my favorite day as a mother, I can admit, but I was shown I was appreciated by the ones I love. Alexander modeled a new look for us right before heading out to visit our mothers:




Our 1 year anniversary was Monday, the 26th. Unfortunately, Alexander was sick and we didn't feel it was fair to anyone (including Alexander) to leave him with someone. So, we got carryout from Max and Erma's and watched a movie. Leonard was too sweet and sent me a dozen roses on Saturday. It was actually a surprise. We're going to try to raincheck the our day, some day soon...

Now, I am sick. I went to the Urgent Care today and was diagnosed with Bronchitis, although it could still possibly be something viral. We'll see. I am feeling a little better, with the occasional coughing fit. Hopefully I'll be better by the weekend...

((Sigh)) I hear Alexander crying... The call of motherhood...

The move of my life...

So we got moved and pretty much unpacked in a week's time. Nothing like taking a week off of work to "work." Leonard says it was the most productive week of his life.

The move went better than expected...aside from a few setbacks I encountered while packing due to my husband's wonderful packing jobs. I came to the conclusion that he genuinely didn't know very much about packing. There were quite a few HUGE DELL computer boxes packed full of books. And not just any books, but college textbooks and binders. I had to repack about 2 boxes and did some reorganizing, but I got it done. Here is a before and after picture of one of the repacking jobs I had to do:



And believe it or not, with the exception of an argument early on (about packing, of course) we really didn't argue nor disagree about anything else. It was a blessing.

The house was pretty much "move-in" ready. But, the sad thing is we need to redo Alexander's nursery. I took more pictures to remember how cool it was. This was the infamous wall...



It's such a wonderful sense of accomplishment. When I get a new camera (mine is not working at the moment) I will be sure to post pictures of our new place!
