What a wild couple of days

Well this has certainly been a wild couple of days.  First I had all the excitement of the news article that Kate Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge, has a copy of Feeding your guy cookbook!  How cool is that, I sincerely hope she makes use of it and enjoys some of the recipes.  And then in the midst of it all, we move into our new house yesterday.  We started the day fairly early and got the last minute packing and organizing finished prior to the moving company arriving.  Let me just say, hiring a moving company is the way to go.  I have always moved myself whenever I have moved from university or from apartment to apartment but this time we were moving into our first house.  And honestly we had so much stuff to move; I am not sure where it all comes from but absolutely there was a big pile of boxes in the condo waiting to move.  But then the moving guys arrived and they moved it all so fast, alot of practice I suppose.  With their dollies and speed, we were out of the condo in a couple of hours and had us into the house in a few more hours.  No more than four hours and the whole move was finished.  We had a friend stop in to surprise us for a chat and our real estate agent, the best in the world, Gina Roman, stopped by with sushi for our dinner. So sweet and thoughtful.  Later last night, other friends stopped by while we enjoyed the traditional moving day pizza!  Finally, exhausted but happy we fell into bed amid boxes on all sides like a walled fortress of a bed.  Of course we hadn't put up any curtains so we were up with the sun, listening to the birds and feeling extremely blessed to be in our first home together.  We have spent the day running around buying silly things, towel bars for the bathroom, handles for our cupboards.  In fact my guy is downstairs right now with the drill attaching them so we can finish easily unpacking and getting the kitchen organized.  I have a feeling that we will be living with boxes for a while yet but candidly I feel so blessed and grateful that we have our first home together.  I am indeed very very lucky and keenly aware of it.
