So. I have finally uploaded some new pictures! We switched computers and it took way longer then needed. But hopefully I can get up a lot of photos I have in limbo.. at least before the next vacation comes along! We are all well. Loving Duluth. Loving work, school and the house. And most of [...]

We made it! We are here! (we are here, we are here, we are here, a little Horton hears a who..). I feel a little as if we are actually living on a small little speck at times. I am happy as can be living here so far. This is the first weekend we have [...]

We got a call from the moving men in Duluth, Wednesday afternoon. They want to move up the date and pack and load the house on the 25th, now! Yikes. This is good and bad. Good because our furniture and items WILL be in Duluth on the 4-6th as planned. Bad because we are not [...]

I have officially got the packing bug. I am tackling the basement first. First is the “craft/sewing closet”. I am more then happy that my shared closet space will soon get its own ROOM! I have not worked on projects in ages due to the lack of room to just leave everything as is. You [...]

The United rep. came and surveyed our house today. Apparently we have more then the average bear. He informed me we would more then likely take up an entire van with all our junk.. err.. worldly possessions. To make the estimate easier he was going to submit it as a full pack from his boys. [...]
