As the saying goes....or maybe not a saying but typically as life has it - "if it is not one thing it is another"...... so after surviving the flood of 2008 - we moved A LOT of treasures (as I like to call them) into the new house this past weekend. - If I could just get the trash man to come everyday for awhile that would be great - but I finally think I am getting settled. I have many of the cabinets filled with dishes, glasses, pots, pans, - I have towels where I want them - clothes in the perfect place, furniture arranged the whole 9 yards- and the house looks more and more like a home. Funny thing is - Dave reminded me - that as settleed as I am - less than half of the people have moved into the house that need too still - so I need to make room for 3 more boys.....
- I also must say that the tooth fairy came for the second night in a row - Blake has lost his 2 top front teeth......needless to say we will be practicing wedding picture smiles with our mouth closed!

I will certainly let everyone know how the weekend goes but I must say I am living with 2 scaredy cats. Last night was the first night in our new house in Teutopolis. A little background I sold my house in April - Since I was getting married in June - I knew this great realtor (my dad) who said I needed to be putting my house up for sale soon - I took his advice and the first person to look at the house bought it - she wanted in soon - which left me (Blake and the dog also) moving in with my parents until the new house (this one) was ready (It was a great 6 weeks - there are perks to moving back home). So back to where I started - last night was our first night. Blake didn’t want to take a shower with the bathroom door or shower curtain closed – we compromised – shower curtain closed – bathroom door open. Then he wanted a light on in the kitchen – which turned into he wanted every light on in the house. Bernie (the shitzhu) slept with him the whole night I think it was easier that way on both of them. Hopefully it was the first night jitters and each night will get easier.

So I am addicted to several other people blogs and have thought about starting my own but I am the first to admit that I am not nearly as funny as "those other" - like I laugh out loud when I read some posts. Anyway, I have done the whole myspace thing and its not like blogging but I thought I had to master myspace before I could move into the blogging world. I am going to give this a shot. I think with a wedding coming up, moving into a new house - and living with 4 boys and a dog I will surely have something to talk about .
