New House

Ryan and I had back to back closings on our old and new houses Friday.  We were both excited and nervous about the process but everything went smoothly and we were at our new house with keys in hand by 2:30 in the afternoon!  We were so excited to move into this beautiful house but also had apprehensions about Whitney and Meredith because change isn't easy for anyone.  

Friday evening as we carried our first loads into the house the girls were going crazy and were so excited about the house that it just made us all let out a sigh of relief.  They loved their rooms but even more so the basement with their secret hide out!!!  Does a mommys heart good to see her girls happy and having fun!

Moving day was a little rainy but honestly went very smoothly as well.  We hired a moving company and are very thankful we did; moving is not fun and I would not be happy doing it in the pouring rain.  These guys had mats down everywhere and were really careful not to track stuff into our house.  

The first night in our house started out a little rough because Meredith was NOT having any part in sleeping in her new room.  In fact she screamed for a good 30-40 minutes.....alll out tantrum!!!  Once she calmed down we were at least able to get her into bed, probably because she was exhausted from her crazy behavior.  She didnt sleep very well but I think we kind of expected the transition to be hardest on her because she is so young and its a hard concept to grasp!!

Our first week went by so quickly.  We had a lot of unpacking to do and also did a lot of exploring and meeting new neighbors.  There aren't too many kids right around us but I know we will see them at the pool this summer.  Everyone has been so friendly and have gone out of their way to welcome us here!  We know its a good move and already love our house!!
