On Saturday it began snowing. By 10:00 a.m. I'd changed from my sneakers into my snow boots.
We started moving anyway.
The new sofa and loveseat were delivered.
In the snow.
We brought over some of the smaller pieces of our furniture plus the living room rug.
In the snow.
Number 7 flexed his teenage muscles (which are quite powerful) to lift heavy items while also finding time to roam with the dog around the new property.
In the snow.
(I made them come in the back door afterward.)
My office was transferred from one house to the other.
In the snow.
I had a conversation over the back fence with our new neighbor.
In the snow.
Today is Monday -- Mr. Satellite TV is coming this afternoon at 2:00 to move our service.
He'll be arriving in the snow.
I must admit the fir trees out front are quite pretty.
As of last night, there was a discernible seating area in the living room.
The old rug looks like it was made for the new house and our other (old) pieces look wonderful and fit right in too. I'm so excited I hardly slept last night. By the end of the holiday weekend, despite stuffing our faces with turkey and trimmings, we will be living full time in our new home.
I am so thankful, I cannot describe it. I loved this place from the moment we laid eyes on it, and beyond my expectations it has become my dream home. I've lived in many different houses in my life, and have loved most of them very well, but this place surpasses all. It's like this house was waiting for us.

PS -- hubby is already planning the chicken coop he intends to build next spring. Horses, chickens, dogs, cats, and one murdering parrot fish. It will be quite the menagerie on our little farm!

I'm so happy that the move is going well and that you're already feeling like you're home.
I'm also a little jealous that you have snow. Of course, you're in Idaho, and I'm in southern Illinois.
Blessings!
I love the floors! So glad you're 'plowing ahead' with the move in spite of the weather : ) Happy New Home!
