5 things that I like about my new house...

1. The laundry room - I now have a room dedicated to laundry. And a new washer. In the past, I've done laundry in a college dorm, a laundry mat, my mother-in-law's house and in my bathroom.

2. Two bathrooms - no longer will I share a bathroom with my boys. If you have boys, you know what I mean.

3. Closets - there are closets in each of the three bedrooms. There is a linen closet in the hall. There is closet space in the laundry room, which I love, by the way. Each of us will have our own closet. No more sharing space.

4. Neighbors - we have good neighbors. One has already mowed the lawn just to be nice (we have since hired him to take care of the lawn).

5. The Lake - we have fishing rights. Now to learn how to fish so that I

can teach the boys.

One thing that we do not like about our move - we will be leaving Nana

and Granddaddy's neighborhood. The boys, especially Jonathan, think

that they'll never see Nana again. I am having trouble convincing him

otherwise, but I hope that this works itself out.

My mother-in-law has been instrumental in getting every thing done

and painted so that we can move. I do not think I will ever be able to

express my thanks to her sufficiently. But I hope that she knows

how much I appreciate her!

So here's to tomorrow and getting everything moved before the

rain starts!

Enjoying my life - even in this oh so stressful time of moving.
