Settling In

We have been moved in to our new home for approximately 8.5 days now, and let me tell you...

...it is bliss!

Except for the parts where I've thrown up twice since being here (2 separate nights), Riley has a problem with pooping all over (85.3 loads of laundry), and I can't find my cereal bowls.

Besides those things...

...bliss.

I was extremely awesome and hosted Thanksgiving approximately 3.5 days after we had moved in. Was I crazy, you ask?

Yes.

Yes, I was.

But it went so well. We have so much to be thankful for this year!! I loved the idea I read on my friend Buttercup's blog about putting up a thankful box on the entryway table and having people add to it all year long. Then on Thanksgiving, they pass the box around and read what they've been thankful for that year. What a great idea! Speaking of Buttercup, she found a picture of the two of us from years ago in college before we knew each other and became fans of each other's blogs. You should check it out.

I will post pictures of the new house once we get the big computer set up because I don't have my camera software loaded on the laptop. Until then, I will tell you about it.

It is bliss.

Am I boring you yet? Just wondering.

No, I'll wait for the pictures. Send me happy unpacking thoughts and throw salt in your brother's ear to banish the evil spirits of You've-Unpacked-Enough-ness. They are really hounding me right now.

It has nothing to do with the fact that I am still recovering from the flu and might have needed a small rest. Not that I had anything from which to rest since I did not singlehandedly unpack almost my entire house in 3 days before my in-laws came to stay with us for Thanksgiving.

What?

They stayed with us?!

Yes.

Yes, they did.

And we had SO much fun it should be a crime.

Also, I did not single-handedly unpack almost my entire house because I had help. I had a friend come over every one of those 3 days and help me unpack. And I had my Big Man who unpacked and organized the garage without an ounce of my help.

Well, do the few ounces of nagging count as help?

No, I thought not.

Anyway, all of that is to say that the Sweet Spot is officially up and running again, and I am so excited to announce that I will *probably* blog again before January 1.

2015.

And also possibly before the week is over.

Wouldn't that be something!?!

And now, I'm dying to know: How was your Thanksgiving? For what were you thankful? What did you eat? With whom did you spend it? Comment and let me know how awesome your holiday was!
