The Burrow : We've Officially Moved

We now live at 1812 Belmar!

We really moved in almost a month ago....since that time we have put a lot of projects on hold. We both needed a much needed break from projecting. Instead we have been decorating and shopping on macys.com and repurposing all those wedding gift cards we received! It took almost two weeks just to get our closet set up (it was a challenge splitting it 75/25 but I made my 1 and half side work) and we didn't own a couch or kitchen chairs for at least 2 weeks. Most of our furniture came from craigslist or a thrift store/flea market or free road side picks ups or made by David Brey.
Yet to do....

window coverings
hang pictures
unpack MISC boxes (we've all got em)
install closet doors
wait for new area rugs to arrive
stain/paint kitchen chairs
install fireplace stone
install window trim
throw a christmas party

To get the moving process going I had a surprise day off from work the Friday of labor day weekend due to "excessive heat!" I mean it was 87 degrees in my room at one point. The 5 year olds would flop over on the carpet during math time. We deserved it. :) It was like God gave me the gift of time. I spent that whole Friday packing up our knick-knacks and forget-me-nots. I lamented over how much stuff we had. Then David came home and we packed up the bedroom and all the big furniture. Then we drove over to Belmar to spend our first night there. We opened a bottle of champaign we were given at our wedding and David gave me a housewarming gift, a photo book of our honeymoon pictures! We spent the rest of the weekend unpacking and unpacking and unpacking.
