Our new home isn't on a lot of land, it doesn't have a two story living room or a double sided fireplace (all of the "must haves" for our last home). It is in a fun, safe place for my kids to play. We are surrounded by some of the most welcoming people that I have met. I'm finally feeling like this area is "home" and very soon we will be in our own home. And most importantly it will have my family. I am feeling very blessed. Okay, I'll feel VERY blessed once the packing/unpacking is done, but it's on the horizon!
"Salad days" is an idiomatic expression, referring to a youthful time, accompanied by the inexperience, enthusiasm, idealism, innocence, or indiscretion that one associates with a young person. More modern use refers to a person's heyday when somebody was at the peak of his/her abilities—not necessarily in that person's youth. Let's just say, we are in our heyday!!

Moving day
I figured that things weren't quite crazy enough with the holidays and all so we decided that we would move right in the middle of it all! I mean, why not, right?! Over the next few days we will move into our home. I am so excited for so many reasons. Can anyone say "kitchen"? Yes, that's at the top of the list. I'm ready, as are the girls, for them to have their own bedrooms again. Sierra is ready to have a quiet place to do her homework rather than one big room where everything is going on around her. And let's discuss the place where I can banish the kids to finished basement. Sigh. Yes. It's going to be good. And it's going to be the LAST time that we move (at least until kiddos are out of the house). I realize I said this before, but the next time I pack up a house someone may end up locking my up in an insane asylum. I don't use this word lightly, but I HATE the process. I know that most people feel this way. We've just done it way too often lately. Cadence has been home with us for 3 years and 3 months. This will be the 5th house she has lived in since she's been in the US. Excessive moving. Thank God that child transitions easily!
