We are finally moved. I will not say settled, but moved. As a kid I moved 3 times before I graduated high school. Each time was hard and I can remember many, many tears before, during, and long after each move. This move, although not tearful, has also been a roller coaster. We only moved about a mile away into a brand new house we built. It is amazing and we are so lucky to have such a nice place. At the same time, those old emotions of not knowing where anything is, not feeling like it's our cozy home, being overwhelmed by where to put everything, and a longing for the old one are still there. Don't get me wrong - I have no desire to move back to the old one, but miss the cozy organized comfort of it all. So, rather than spend all my time the last 2 weeks unpacking, I unpacked enough to feel somewhat settled and sat down and read HP6 and HP7. I finished HP7 at 1 this morning so now back to unpacking. Perhaps one day soon we will again see our new garage floors!
Here is the old one:
And here is the new one....
We have also been enjoying the coolest new geek toy in our house...a telescope. The kids and I purchased one for father's day and here are some pics that Scott took with it. It is way cool to look and actually see the surface of the moon, Jupiter's moons, and a little peek at Saturn. For what Texas lacks in trees it makes up for with stars (The stars at night....are big and bright....okay..enough state pride) ...
I have one week left of freedom for the summer and then it's back to school time. So, it is not real likely that those garage floors will be visible this week. I feel the need to cram in all those things we were "going to do this summer."
