I can only show you snippets of our days lately. If I showed you more, you'd see that nearly every room of the house still has boxes to unpack. You'd see me sneaking off to read The Hunger Games or knit Christmas presents or watch the first season of The Sopranos with K. We're settling in slowly.
It's funny the things that have changed. Things that I never could have anticipated. For instance, I can see the sky so much better in our house than I could from our apartment. I never knew how much I missed it, but lately I've been watching the clouds by day and marveling at the waxing moon by night. What a show.
So happy for you, my dear! And aren't we having the most gorgeous fall?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're so happy in your new place.
ReplyDeletelooks like you're settling in beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThe Hunger Games will certainly distract you!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are starting to get things unpacked- it sounds wonderful!
Oooh...I look forward to hearing how you like The Hunger Games, I bet you'll have to get your hands on Catching Fire and Mockingjay as I did...I was hooked!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations again! What a wonderful feeling to be doing the little things that really get you settled into a new home, baking, reading, snuggling in...
ReplyDeleteI know the pull of the Hunger Games Trilogy too! Good thing I read them in the summer time so I didn't call in sick to school!
Home is such a great feeling. So glad you're settling in. :)
