Hey, friends, I’m off for a busy wedding-filled weekend.

Today was a full day.

With all this moving and unpacking, my belly has been neglected in this space.

Whew!

10 things I am very grateful for:

1. The river so close and the ducks in the river.

There are boxes everywhere and a very, very good cup of coffee beside me that is getting cold. Adam put my desk in the perfect place by the windows while I was sleeping because he knew it would make me happy. There are dishes in the sink and I don’t have anything to wash them with, nor a good place for them to dry. But, hey, it’s our first day here and only here and not moving and nowhere else. So I think that is just fine. More than fine.

Yesterday our lease in Madison was finally up, and I had my last day of work at the coffee shop.

The negative side effect of getting a house is that I want to be there all the time.

And then, all of a sudden, it happened. We sat down at a big conference table with leather chairs and a stack of paperwork. We signed our names hundreds of times, and the owner handed us her many keys. Then we drove home.

Yup. Home.

I walked home from the store with milk and cheese and cereal.
