Happy times

I continued to bring car loads of stuff over to the new house today.  While I worked on organizing cabinets and closets (way boring) our electrician worked on this beauty (super exciting)…


We also got our first delivery to the new house.  Preston and I tag teamed waiting at the house for 5 hours (no thank you Williams Sonoma) to get these French bistro chairs for the morning room.  Amour.  

There was a silver lining to the delivery guys being two hours late.  We ate our first meal in our new home.  Preston and Madelyn picked up Rustic Eatery (a Geeting family favorite) on the way home from art class.  We sat around the kitchen island eating our rice bowls and the special moment will forever be ingrained in my memory.  And so it begins, filling this house with happy times.

We are in business baby...

We got our keys (finally!!!!!!) bright and early this morning.  They teased us all day yesterday with the possibility, which was torture.  I had my car filled with stuff ready to bring to the new house.  In the afternoon the sales guys finally said I could put my stuff in the garage.  So I did.  Then I put it all in the house.  A rule breaker I am not but it felt good to be a little rebellious. Today while I schlepped from one house to the next with an overflowing car, the crown molding guys were busy themselves.  They worked on the upstairs rooms so I focused my time in the kitchen.  I totally unpacked and organized our pantry.  Boom!  


I was able to display our first housewarming gift, this cute sign that my sweet friend and trainer made for our pantry.  "Great bodies are made in the kitchen," one of many great quotes from the lovely Adelynn Spiecker.
