Hallelujah. Thats all I can say. Its been six long months and dan and I are officially all unpacked. It has been a long and exhausting task but OHHHHHH does it feel great to be done! All of our things have a "home", all of our boxes are gone and best of all, our pictures are hung. Not many things in the world feel better than this.
Throughout the grueling task that has been making this place a home, we have established our first family tradition! We are both quite excited about this. I love tradition. love, love, love. I also love finding any and all opportunities to create new traditions and this was our first. Rather, it was our first tradition created together....as a married couple. We both have traditions that we have brought to our new family from our extended families (my personal favorite being adding a new christmas ornament to the collection every year).
Anyway, back on topic. Right after we got married we were grocery shopping when we saw one lone bottle of sparkling grape juice sitting on the shelf. We couldn't let that poor thing live the rest of its life by itself so being the selfless selves that we are, we adopted that sucker...or in other words, we purchased that bottle right up! The only catch before we could pop it open and indulge in its greatness? House had to be a home. Everything unpacked, put away and hung.
