Back in The Saddle
We made it finally. After four days of driving two cars through the worst weather I've seen, we are at snug in our new rug, I mean home. The moving truck made it here, only after running over someone else's snow covered lawn which prompted a visit from the Home Owner's Association people. Yep, we are already THOSE neighbors. We're home.
The kitchen and the office are the only things unpacked but they actually have DSL in this rural, beautiful snowy place. Who knew!
The Man is happily growing facial hair to celebrate his "no-longer-in-the-Navy" life, although the neighbors thought he was a mover. Imagine their shock when they realized that the young grizzly bear in flannel was moving into the neighborhood. It's moments like that, that make life worthwhile. We're embracing our redneck roots. Although we are resisting the urge to put the pink plastic flamingos in the front lawn. We're working for subtle here.
Princess is already in school. It's big, beautiful, new and keeping her happy, therefore I'm happy. Duchess is finding new ways to create havic without her partner in crime. Hiding behind boxes in the new house, forcing mommy to play hide-n-seek is always fun!
The Man ventured out tonight to toss some large bags of packing paper, but managed to get pulled over by the local sheriff for using the grocery store's dumpster. Not even a week in town and we've become infamous. I'd say my work here is almost done. On a good note, we absolutely love it here and we're already settling in nicely. We've even joined the PTA, and for the record people, we are normally NOT those people.
Hope everyone had a great new year!

Wow! The house looks GREAT!
Nothing like making a good first impression. ;-)
Aww, welcome home. The house looks lovely -- especially that awesome fireplace (at least it looked like on next to the boxes...if not, then please do tell what it is!).
Anyway, glad to hear you're getting settled in nicely and 'making friends' so quickly (LOL). Be sure to wear your best redneck-roots-attire when you attend PTA!:)
That is one of the fireplaces. These babies are gas run so I don't have to kill myself chopping wood...right........I would buy wood. lol But I love these things. Although The Man swears our gas bill will be higher than the grocery bill this month. They have good chocolate here girl! Lots of good chocolate here.
