Settling In

WE FINALLY HAVE FURNITURE!!! And yes I'm yelling it, because I'm so flipping excited! I feel like south a lazy bum right now, because my couch feels like heaven on earth and I have no urge to get up anytime soon. My bed is tempting me though. It's been just over a week since we've been camping on the floor, and it's wonderful to not only be comfortable, but to finally be making this house a home. Here's a small sneak peak of everything coming together in the girls' playroom! 

While it's been difficult to settle in without furniture, but the girls are definitely loving in the house. They have a much bigger room, and much more space to cause mischief in. The downstairs is actually set up like a giant circle with the staircase and laundry room in the middle, so their new favorite game is to run laps as fast as they can. So far no head on collisions, but I'm seeing a bloody nose or two in the future. They have to learn somehow! ;) 

We have also been getting familiar with the area and can get to most of the general places with no GPS, score! Again, I am going to rave about how much there is to do here, and it's all just minutes away! Coming from a town with 2 restaurants, this is amazing. I also went to go check out one of our local gyms and I'm pretty pumped. The place is huge, has three pools (two indoor and one out), a bunch of free classes for me and the  girls, a spa, and most important they have a child center included that I was really impressed with. I'm joining next week, so it will be good to get out of the house and have a little bit of me time. 

In other news, Dan is heading out of town for business for a couple days sowe are going to have some girl time this week! Actually, we are going to have some mom's-going-crazy-being-a-referee-and-unpacking-all-at-the-same-time time, but ya know, it happens. I am looking forward to being able to put my own touch on everything without Dan getting in the way though. I hope he likes it when he gets back! Then finally when he gets home we can sit back, relax, and pop the bottle of champagne we've waiting to use to toast our new house. I guess we could have done it when we first got here, but it just didn't seem right using paper cups. :)

I plan on doing a full house tour when we get it all put together hopefully later this week, but for now here is one last sneak peak and a look at my project from the weekend! 

 Can you tell the girls are a bit spoiled? They are the only ones who actually have their space all put together. Not surprised. They are definitely the bosses of this house! 

I hope everyone has a great rest of the week! :)
