Hey. How Ya Doin'?

Hi guys! We officially moved in as of last Friday!!! WHOOOHOOOO!!! I am thankful to be in our home and unpacking. We are still living in a state of semi-chaos (hey hun... have you seen the hand pruners/batteries/key to the china cabinet/insert not unpacked or maybe it has been item here). My sister Darby helped me unpack a few things the second day we were here and then my mom came and spent a few days helping me really get into the meat of unpacking and even helped me do some front door landscaping. These boxes are what we have unpacked so far. That's a whole 'lotta bins.

We had a few snafus moving in, but isn't that how it goes? Some things I heard the first few days living here: 

-"Hey hun, the new well water pump is going to be $1,800."

- "DAVID IT'S AN EMERGENCY!!!! WATER IS GUSHING OUT!!" (That was the second morning here and the laundry valve busted shooting jets of water all into the garage where our boxes were stored. Thankfully we used plastic bins instead of cardboard boxes so nothing was damaged other than the valves.)

- "The filter for the iron removal basin is $500."

- "I found an A/C guy who will charge $4,100 for a new unit."

- "I think we need a home warranty."

-"Our car insurance rate just doubled."

- "Where have you been keeping all these books?"

I think we are finally in a good spot though. Only a few more service or repair guys have to visit today and tomorrow. The girls have adjusted to their new rooms. Adam and I are enjoying settling in. Even Toddles has scouted some new hiding spots and napping places. I still have about a dozen boxes to unpack. But the pool and the yard have been distracting me.

And the pool has been the hit of the house for sure. Scarlette has swam every day for hours on end. I have a handful of times already too.

But only after I empty out a few boxes first. The swimming is a reward. 

But we are here. This is home. 

I love the neighborhood. It is older (our home was built in 1981) with loads of mature trees and larger lot sizes. 

And this is the butterfly garden my mom helped me to put in when she was here earlier in the week. I still have some more pentas and such to put in but it is getting there. 

I also planted a hydrangea, a cat whisker plant and a crape myrtle in the yard too. 

I hope I can take some time out of do some more reviews. I have some amazing candles, wax tarts and perfumes to showcase. I placed a pretty stout order from Carol at CFTKR. 

How are you doing? Was June good for you?
