Before I begin this post, I want to thank the 50 or so of you who so kindly and generously gave so much amazing information on London. Wendy and I are both so grateful and now I am craving a trip there myself. Needless to say several already told me they are bookmarking this post as I already have. You are the best! Fodors has nothing on you!<\/i><\/div>\n

Hi, well suffice to say I am feeling a little calmer today than I was this time last week. I cannot believe we have been in the house 10 days! It has been exhausting, exciting beyond description and exhilarating all at the same time. Moving is no laughing matter and the last time I did a big move where I fully unpacked was 10 years ago and lets just say theres a big difference between 30 something and 40 something:) But I do believe the worst, most exhausting and hardest part is over and I will admit its been fun opening up boxes and rediscovering so many of my pretty little treasures (treasures to me). <\/center>

<\/center>
At this point I am putting things away and know that they will be rearranged all over again in the future. After all that is part of the fun, don’t you think? I remember after being in our old house even after 7 or 8 years, I was still always fiddling around, adding to, moving things around. So here’s some of the latest, not a tremendous difference from last weeks post but little things here and there, a real hodge podge of things happening around here….<\/center><\/p>\n
