Settling In

We finally got moved this week and we are slowly but surely getting settled into the new house. It has been a busy and exhausting week, yet full of blessings. Monday, while moving some boxes, Jim and Becca got to the house when the inspector was here. The green light was given and we got full permission to move into our new home. We moved as much as possible during the day. Jen came to help take a load. Tuesday we attained a U-haul and loaded up some. In the evening we had several able bodies to help load us up. Many thanks to Jen, Greg, Dawn, Jeffrey and Laura for their able hands. We did not finish until almost 2am, but we got it done. Wednesday morning Mandy took the kids and the 3 of us headed to the apartment to gather the last few things. Sarah came to help us with cleaning, another huge blessing. Our previous neighbor Heather prepared lunch for us. She made Romanian food, which allowed me to feel like I was there for just a moment. (I miss that area of the world.) Jim had to work, but Becca and I worked awhile on the kitchen until she had to leave for class. Thursday was mostly a productive day. Lillian was not feeling well and woke us up off and on throughout the night. This made us all a little sick and tired, but we made it through getting much of the kitchen done and some of the living room. SWI was a nice respite. Thursday night we finally got some sleep. Friday we got more done, but still so much more is left to do. Today more sorting and figuring. I hope to be done in a week, but at this rate it could take a month. Thankfully there are people who can help with the kids, just got to get that figured out!
