We made it!

We made it back to Washington! Nora and I arrived July 1st and Phil drove in July 4th just in time to celebrate with us. We spent just under a week at my good friend Becky's house, frantically waiting to close on our house. And after just a couple bumps in the road, we were able to move in July 7th (without our household good, of course. Those came 3 days later). Now finally, we are getting to the bottom of the piles of boxes, and I am able to take a breath and look around.

Wow. How lucky we are! Someday soon I will start posting pics (once I find the usb cable for the camera). The house is everything we need. Location, yard, and just enough space. There are so many little things we plan to do to make it really really work for our family, but we are fortunate enough to not HAVE to really do anything right away.

This weekend we will be taking a break from setting up the house and traveling down south for Camas days with my family. Grandma and Grandpa Reale will follow us home to get a look at the new house and help with some projects. It should be a WONDERFUL weekend.

Phil will go back to work the following week, and Nora and I have already found a Mom's group to hang out with! We are settling in nicely and can't wait to really start enjoying our surroundings!
