Moving Day
After more than five years in our apartment -- and after looking at countless apartments, attending open houses and spending thousands of hours on street easy -- we finally moved into our own home that we own. Tonight is the first night that we are all sleeping here. We moved out of our old apartment three days ago and Daddy and I (mostly Daddy) spent a few frantic days unpacking and organizing things so that they would be ready enough for you guys. You had a couple of night at Grandma and Grandpa's house. We also had Thanksgiving thrown in there. And now we are all home. Our home doesn't have a kitchen yet and we still have loads of boxes, lots of bare lightbulbs, a bathroom sink that doesn't work and a million other issues. But it is home and we are very happy. Tonight we ate pizza on the floor. We'll probably be doing a lot more of that until our kitchen is finished.
Vivian told me tonight, "I love our new apartment. It is so pretty!" This was good to hear because recently whenever I mentioned the new apartment or maybe having to go there, she would immediately cry her eyes out. I think this is because she has spent far too many boring minutes here while I was talking to contractors and painters and trying to make decisions.
When Stella saw the apartment for the first time on Wednesday she said, "I LOVE the color of my room!" which made Daddy and me very happy because choosing a pink that we could live with and that she would love was no easy task.
Stella looked crestfallen when she saw that Vivian's crib was in a different room. They ARE sharing a room although they are sleeping apart for now. It was sweet to see how much Stella really genuinely wants to share a room with her little sister. Nevertheless, I lost Vivian for a moment tonight and I called, "Vivian, where are you?" to which she answered, "I in my room" meaning the room where her crib is. This is going to be confusing.
It is not really a bigger apartment than we had before but it feels like so much more space because of the way it is laid out. I am really excited to make a home for our family. Just in time for the holidays which are my favorite.
