We've Moved!!

Hooray for finally moving. I feel like I have been preparing for it for the last three months, and now with a brand new job for Matthew, a brand new mortgage, and a sort of brand new baby, it is all done!! Whew. It's amazing how much less Zachary cries now that we aren't running around all the time and he can actually take real naps at predictable times.

Last Thursday we loaded up our truck (or really Matthew and one of our friends) on one of the hottest and muggiest days of the year. Blegh. Then in the afternoon, we cleaned our apartment (again with the help of some of the dearest women to me in State College). And in the evening, we drove to Allentown, dropped off the truck at our new place, met some very nice neighbors, and headed off to our hotel room. It was a completely eventful day and by the end of it everyone was sore and ready to sleep. I'll give my baby this much credit - he is a wonderful nighttime sleeper. Thanks be to heaven for that very significant blessing.

The next morning, on Matthew's birthday, we had our final walkthrough with the builder, signed our lives away to the bank, and moved in (this time with five or six teenage boys to help - thanks go out to our Realtor's sons and sons' friends), all within three hours! Holy Hannah, what a whirlwind.

Monday, Matthew started his new job at Air Products and now Baby and I spend our days unpacking, loving on each other, and taking walks around the neighborhood. So it's official, we live an above ground, very adult, existence and we now have cell phone reception IN the house!! Wahoo for school.

Want to come visit? We now have all sorts of extra space to accommodate you! Just drop a line letting me know you're coming.
