Hey y’all!!!
Well after two weeks visiting family and one week in Virginia without internet access, I’m finally back online!!!
We were supposed to have internet and telephone installed on Saturday but we were hit with a big (okay, big for me) snowstorm over the weekend and I had to wait until today. And it was a long wait!!
We moved into our new home last Sunday and I feel so blessed to have this wonderful place to live in.
We received our household goods from Germany (the large shipment) last Monday and we have been busy unpacking boxes ever since. I am proud to announce that every room except for the homeschool room has been unpacked. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t random boxes for us to go through stashed in the attic, but we are feeling somewhat settled.
Our plan has been to refurnish our home upon arrival back to the states. We have picked out and purchased furniture for our living room, master bedroom, the girls’ bedroom, and dining room. It should be delivered right after the new year.
We took the opportunity to do some Christmas decorating and put up our tree and some outside lights over the snowy weekend.
Now all we have left to do is actually buy Christmas presents. Surely, we can get that done before Thursday!
I am so thankful for all of our support and prayers over the past few weeks. I cannot wait to get back to blogging and sharing life with all of you!
Whew! Just looking back at this list of all that we’ve done through our move makes me one tired girl! We’re tackling things right and left with more to go. But there seems to finally be an end in sight.
Visit Tackle it Tuesday at 5 Minutes for Mom to see more tackles from this week.

Welcome back! I’m excited to see your new furniture in your new house! I’m sure there’s a big backyard for the kids? I think for once the weather on that side of the pond is worse than there, even though we’re dealing with quite a bit of snow ourselves.

there are some great malls in Richmond, my favorites were the outside ones, can’t remember their names now, not so great for winter shipping but very nice in spring/fall.
So good to hear that things are coming together so nicely, looking forward to all your new posts.
