moving weekend!

It's been a full two weeks since we signed the papers on our new home.  Even though Paul, his family, and mine, have been working like crazy to get us in, it still doesn't seem real.  We really own a house.  A house that comes with an endless list of upgrades that I want to accomplish, but all in good time.  Originally, I wanted all of thr popcorn ceilings down, and wanted the entire upstairs repainted.  After taking down popcorn ceilings turned out to be a huge ordeal (who ever thought popcorn ceilings were a good idea anyway!?) we knocked room after room off our list of "must have done before we move in" and agreed to finish the master and call it good.  I'm super pumped to have one room completely repainted and have a new and improved light fixture to really make at least one space feel completely ours.

Paul's pretty great, isn't he?

We were lucky enough to have multiple friends offer to help move us in this weekend, which was fabulous, because with a baby and toddler in tow, I'm not much help.  Though Olive and I would often "visit" our stuff in the barn, I was excited to open up the storage unit shipping container that half of our things have been living in for almost two years now.  Two years!

Goodness, we're totally hoarders.

While helping Paul sand the trim in the master last week, we started brainstorming a general list of what projects we want to accomplish as well as when, and we both agreed that actually going through all of our stuff (and purging a little) made the most sense to do before anything else.

For the most part, I'm pretty sure that's my job.  However, I look forward to updating the house little by little, and I'll keep you posted on the journey as it unfolds.
