still unpacking.

 

We are slowly getting put together over here.  But I've been kind of a wreck all week.  (And yes, for a little bit before that too.)  I knew it would be hard to leave and had been trying to prep myself, but it has been very emotional for me.

But little by little we are organizing and putting away and getting everything put back together.  And my biggest relief is the kids love their new school.  There are lots of nice kids and neighbors and I know things will be good.  I think it's just that my coping mechanisms, when living in disarray, are horrible.

So soon I will be returning to my merry ways, but in the meantime I'm just feeling sort of solemn. 

And now isn't that a pretty view?  I was going to leave this post picture-less, but I just found this picture on my computer.  That was the view of the sunset from the window of our family room in our old home. 

And even though the view from this home is very different, it is also very beautiful to me.  The tree-lined streets with the old fashioned lamp posts wrapped in white lights are so perfectly charming, I feel like I'm in a little Christmas village. And I really hope to be done with boxes very soon (I had totally forgotten how long this super-not-fun-part takes), so I can enjoy it a little more!
