Good morning, friends! The last couple of days have finally started to feel somewhat normal after weeks of chaos. The actual move is officially behind us\u2014there\u2019s just one small closet left to empty out today, and once that\u2019s done, the house will be completely cleared out. Will be sharing more on current state of renovation in a post this coming week.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s exciting to have this chapter behind us. As I\u2019ve mentioned before, it\u2019s been an absolutely exhausting process, but now that we\u2019re coming out on the other side, it feels great to be settling into our new home for the next year and a half.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve had a little work being done here and there, so I haven\u2019t been able to get out as much as I would have liked. I was supposed to go on a girls\u2019 trip but wasn\u2019t able to make it, though that has given me extra time to focus on settling in. My husband and I are very much alike in that we can\u2019t stand living with boxes and bags everywhere, so we really worked ourselves to the bone to get things unpacked.<\/p>\n

Now that the bulk of it is done, we\u2019re taking things at a slower pace, devoting an hour or two a day to the finishing touches. Some things will remain in storage for now, but overall, we\u2019re feeling good about where things are.<\/p>\n

We were supposed to go to Florida to see friends for the weekend and then Palmetto Bluff for a few days but the contractor (very<\/em> slow but good) who is doing odds and ends here,\u00a0 needs 2 more days so any getaway plans came to a screeching halt. Hopefully in a few weeks we can steal a few days for a bit of rest and relaxation.<\/p>\n

Here we go\u2014onto this next chapter…<\/p>\n
