Ready or not, we are moving!

We will be moving out of our house in 48 hours. Boxes everywhere, up late packing every night, lots of stress, and a little boy that is a bit confused by everything going on around him. Our new house is not quite ready, so we will be putting our things in storage and living with some friends for a few weeks. Once we're settled, I'll get back to blogging and share pictures of our new house. It's looking great and we can't wait to move in and get settled!

A few lessons I've learned from moving:
-I don't want to move again for a LONG time. Unless the Extreme Home Makeover team shows up at my house with a plane ticket to Hawaii and packs up my house while I'm lying on a beach. Then maybe I'd consider another move...

-We have too much stuff. Even after multiple trips to Goodwill and recycling, we have so much stuff!

-Everytime I think we are making progress and almost done packing, I find another room or closet.

-It is impossible to keep a house clean AND pack it up at the same time

My mom reminded me that the Obama's and Bush's are moving this week as well. I wonder how packing is going for them.

Ditto...you're becoming a horrible picture poster in your move!

A friend of mine referred me your site and I have enjoyed reading about your journey. We accepted a referral for a two year old boy from Ethiopia on Friday. We are very excited to hear about our court date and then traveling to pick him up. We live in Indiana. I wanted to know if you use Kenyon and Belachew both as his names on a regular basis? We are trying to decide on a name for our new addition to our family and I was just looking for some advise from someone who adopted an older child. You can contact me at mail@jbandcarla.com. Sorry we don't have a blog. Sometimes I wish I did but two kids and a full time job just don't leave much time for it. Thanks for your time I look forward to hearing from you.
