The move itself was a nightmare. One entire week of sleepless nights, back breaking labor, strep, anxiety, snowy passes and ambivalent neighbors, but it is all over now right!?! At least until we decide to move out of the apartment and get a house in 6-8 months. We had planned to spend our weekend shopping for furniture, I have no kitchen table and the boys have no beds, and organizing what we have unpacked. Instead we packed up the car at 1 am and drove to Utah so we could have our old house ready for renters to occupy this week.
What started as a quick trip to finish projects turned into a lovely mini-vacation spending time with my parents who have decided to buy a condo in Riverton to use as a vacation home. Even with the time we spent with family we were able to get the majority of the work done on the house, and 3 serious rental applicants to choose from. We will overlook the flat tires, exhaustion from driving all night, snow, car troubles and crazy Wyoming wind and call it a great weekend.
My sense of Home was a little flip-flopped, but it felt so good to be HOME today, even if it is in Colorado not Utah. The boys start school tomorrow which I am sure will only increase the feeling of permanence here.
I can't wait to get my kitchen put together. I have been in the mood to bake for days. I am thinking muffins and Ciabatta and hmmm maybe some English oatmeal scones.

Sounds like you have been busy! We will miss you this week at book club.
Moving can be CRAZY! I hope your boys adjust well and that it feels more like home every day. My feeling is that when the kids are happy, everything else can be happy. Bake it up for them and for yourself.
So sad I didn't get to see you before you left. Good luck in Colorado. Sounds like it has started out as quite an adventure, I hope all settles down for you soon.
