New House

I am struggling to find the time to post lately, with all that's been going on. Often in the past few weeks I've gotten on to write only to find that Blogger is down or my own Internet connection is slow or non-existent. Really, I do have the time, it's just the uninterrupted time I don't have much at the house.

We are trying to wrap up the school year - projects to turn in, parties, etc. We are living at our new house.  We are loving it VERY much. I know many of you have been waiting for pictures of the new house and all, so here's the front and back of the house.

As for the old house, we've had one showing, and the people say they want to come back in a few weeks - we'll see. It's still got so much of our stuff in it. We went last Sunday when my parents were here to watch the kids and worked on it. It was me, Rob, and another helper. We worked about 2 hours. Yesterday I went over for 2 1/2 hours with my friend who is a professional organizer at Saving Space in Raleigh. I highly recommend them if you need help organizing or decluttering! We plan to go back tomorrow and see how much we can get done.

Did I mention I've already hosted 2 parties at the new house in the last week? Yes, I did. Mark turned 8 last week. All the grandparents came in to stay a night or two, and we had Mark's party in the backyard. Wednesday we hosted Mark's second grade end-of-the-year party. It was great fun in a great atmosphere. I love being about to share this space with family and friends.
