We have officially been in our new house for one month; one month and three days, to be exact.
This also means, however, that I am one month and two days behind my original schedule -- to start a blog.
Well, I'm finally making good on my promise. I've officially reached "write first blog post" on my to-do list. This is a miracle as it means that I have also crossed "sleep for eight hours" off my list, too!
This first post is just a quick
hello to let you know that we're alive. I am also happy to report [because I know you all are dying to know] that the animals are settling in beautifully.

In retrospect, that is a disturbingly accurate portrayal of the last few weeks of our life.
We would not have survived without our parents and friends -- and of course, our local pizza shop and drive thru liquor store. Yes, you heard me right,
drive thru...
The house tour will be up and running very soon. All our love!
