real quick

Just a real quick update before I fall into bed. It's been a crazy two weeks since we took posession of the house. Over the weekend we painted with the help of some extremely generous friends who gave up the majority of both days to help us. We painted the family room, living room, and master bedroom. On Monday and Tuesday I painted the foyer. Now all that's left is Gavin's room, and unfortunately I think that's going to have to wait until after this weekend. I wanted all the painting done before we moved but I just don't think that's going to happen. Oh, and I finally picked paint colors by just doing it. I picked colors I liked and that seemed as if they would work. I figured the worst that would happen would be I'd hate it and in six months we'd paint again. (However, after doing the patining this weekend, I'm not so sure I want to paint again, even in six months, even if it's to cover a color I hate!)

Ever since last Tuesday when we got the keys, we have been taking carloads of boxes over each time we go to the house. It doesn't seem like any one carload makes a difference, and yet the basement here is nearly empty, while the basement there is nearly full. Funny how that works. Tonight we stayed at the apartment and packed. The place really looks like we're moving now. The walls are bare, the kitchen is all packed up, and the rest of the apartment is all in disarray. This is the part about moving I have the most. The disarray and complete, utter chaos. Please, get me to this Sunday when I can start organizing! This lack of orderliness is driving me nuts!
