Hello everyone from The Peach State!! We finally arrived at our new home last night after a very long day of traveling. The girls did surprisingly well, but still, being cooped up in the car with 2 cranky toddlers for 13 hours was never going to be fun. Really though, it could have been WAY worse, so I'm not going to complain... too much.
On another note, I'm writing from my living room floor tonight, and will be until at least Tuesday. Our delivery window we got from the movers was between today (would have been nice) and Tuesday (worst case scenario). Of course, we got a call on the way down saying it was going to be worst case scenario. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying to the moving gods that there are no delays and soon we won't be eating on the floor like homeless people!
On the plus side, Alpharetta is absolutely gorgeous!! We are so obsessed with this town already, and it's only been a day. There is so much to do! There are shops and restaurants everywhere, and so much variety. It's perfect because you have this little city all around you, but when you get to all the little subdivisions it feels very much like a small town. A perfect combination and we couldn't be more thrilled!
Also, our house is gorgeous. It was a massive gamble going forward and signing a lease for a house that we have never seen in person. The rental market is extremely competitive down here, so we decided just to jump right in and go for it, and the risk paid off big time! It's even bigger than it seemed in pictures, and a perfect location. Right now it's just a lot of open space, so I will post pictures when we get all of our stuff here. I was right though, the girls love all the open space! And I'm loving the GIANT walk in closet! That was not in the pictures, so it was a very pleasant surprise. :) I think we can make this great home for the four of us and I am so excited to get all settled in.
Of course we miss our family and friends at home already. Saying goodbye to them was so hard and so many tears were shed in those last couple days. We are heading back up north in just under a month to take a trip to Mexico with my sister and one of our girlfriends, and this time around we decided to take our husbands with us! We will be spending a few days in Chicago beforehand so we will be able to see the rest of the fam too. I'm not sure if the goodbyes will ever get easier, but hopefully planning regular visits will help a bit. We are going to stay positive though and focus on all the good things that are coming our way!
Good night everyone!
Xoxo
