Light at the end of the tunnel

2 different reasons:

The mountain of boxes is now down to nearly mole-hill size

We had a homecoming "brief" yesterday to discuss the logistics of the event - we still have a ways to go but we're getting closer to Wil being home.

Update

The unpacking is taking much longer than it normally would because I'm trying to really organize things instead of just throwing things in closets to get them out of sight. It's very frustrating to have been in the house for nearly a week and have the living room still be cluttered with boxes but I keep telling myself that in the end it will be well worth it.

In other news Abigail's potty training is progressing pretty well but she did have her first night time accident last night. I was not going to go look through boxes at 2 in the morning for her other sheet sets so I just cleaned her up and brought her in with me. And then later in the night she rolled off our bed and fell on the floor - no broken collar bone thank goodness - but I guess she's not quite ready to sleep in her big girl's bed without a toddler rail. Her bed will be getting here on the 9th, appropriate since it's basically a birthday present. So I'm hoping to get all the extra boxes out of her room by then and after that should be getting some pictures up so you all can see her new room.

ETA - the comment about breaking her collar bone might seem odd but when my brother was a toddler he broke his collar bone when he fell off a bed.

Something good to think about

"And the fact is that we don't have a perfect marriage. There are times we have an amazing marriage, and I'd say there's times where we have an average marriage. But I'm pretty convinced I'm tired of thinking that average is ok when it comes to the most important relationship of my life."

Back online

Whew, well we have had quite a week. We're back online in our new house and totally moved out of the old one. Nothing left but the insane amount of unpacking to do and hopefully getting our air conditioning fixed. Yesterday wasn't quite as bad, there was a nice breeze coming in off the ocean.
