We are FINALLY in our new house and it feels soo good! This weekend was a complete whirlwind but we are officially in and starting to feel settled.
On Saturday we did a complete deep clean of the house + yard work all day long, on Sunday I moved all of our little things and on Monday we moved our big things with the help of family and Wills friends! And I was quite the boss driving the U-haul van around town… 😉
From all of our moving pictures, this one is easily my favorite. It definitely takes a village and I am so grateful to have mine! Eliza gardened for 8 hours straight while Isabelle watched her girls and my sisters-in-laws took my daughter all day. I was soo grateful for everyone’s help! Couldn’t have done it without them.
Carpeting our bedrooms was one of the best decisions we made! I LOVE the feeling of carpet in bedrooms and the carpet we chose from Lemco is hands down the softest carpet I’ve ever felt!
My favorite part of the whole moving process if of course organizing and placing all of our things back together. Some new things, mostly old! But it gives it such a fun feeling to make a space OURS.
Who has time to blow dry your hair while moving?? My curls were out of control all weekend..
Our little girl is also really loving our little home. I still get asked daily when we are going to do a “house tour” and to be honest.. maybe never? Our house is little (under 2,000 sq ft) and there really isn’t much to show! We didn’t want to buy a house “for show” we wanted to buy a house that we felt comfortable in both physically and financially and this is what we found! We chose location over size! We love it so much and still can’t believe it’s ours.
I also didn’t realize how hard it would be to say goodbye to our old apartment. We have been there for FOUR years! Can you believe that? So many of our biggest life moments happened in there and I’ll forever cherish that little basement apartment.
But waking up to sunshine is also v nice.
Here’s to a much needed relaxing weekend!
