2 Weeks

Wow, we have been home for 2 weeks now, some days it seems like it's been much longer than that and others it just doesn't seem possible that it has been 2 weeks. We are settling in nicely, they delivered our household goods on the 16th (that went fairly well) and we have been working on organizing everything since then. Chelsea's room has been painted, our bedroom carpet has been ripped out to reveal the hardwood floor, paint has been bought to redo the shutters, front door and side door. My biggest obstacle so far has been the kitchen, I went from a big kitchen in Maryland with plenty of counter and cupboard space, to one with not so much. As of today most of the inside work is done, we mainly have some things to work out in the basement. Tomorrow we are spending some time with family, then we shall start on the yard and garage and hopefully get the basement finished. Things are taking a little longer than we had hoped, but that's not really a big surprise :) Next week we will take all of Meg's paperwork into the high school and get her enrolled so we can figure out what classes she will be taking and get her registered. Other than not having any friends here yet, the girls are doing pretty well. Todd is focused on making sure everything is settled and taken care of before he has to leave. I am actually missing Maryland and trying not to focus on the fact that he is leaving us much to soon to head to Korea. The animals are getting more used to quiet country living. Reggie had the most health problems associated with the move, and Lily is now having some separation anxiety, but they are both doing better, thank God. There's probably more to tell, but I am tired and I think my brain is ready to quit for the night. I'll be back later this week, hopefully ;)
