Home, where I wanted to go

We won't have Internet until Wednesday so I'm at Caffe Gelato by myself in a comfy chair near an outlet with my iced "back to school blues" blueberry latte and veggie panini sandwich. Life is pretty good. It really is.

The landscape is beautiful here- so many hills and trees- I love that I can see trees out every window in our house. And the sky... the sunrises and sunsets are magnificent. Jeff said we are over 400 feet higher than where we moved from and I told him see I am not crazy for thinking we were closer to the clouds! 

We've been "home" for two nights now. As each box gets unpacked and closets get filled, it's feeling more like us. There's several more rooms in this house than our old one, so we're trying to figure out what to put where and what to buy for here or there. Gray and Ivy have their own rooms for the first time. They are doing great with the changes and are already taking charge of their space.

On one of the last evenings before moving, my friend Chrissy gave me a beautiful present as we parted. I was so excited to unwrap it last night and Jeff hung it immediately in the most perfect spot in our entry way. It really was like we were taking claim of this place, declaring it home.
