After quitting my beloved job with Sundance Resort on March 1, I began March 2 smothered in boys and facing an entire house that had to be be packed, moved and cleaned by the time that the boys and I were to board a plane on the 8th (bryce followed us in our car with our few things that we were bringing). We had a lot do to do leave our Utah lives behind and to prepare for our new adventurous lives in the south. So, how do I begin this momentous day? I get my nose pierced....I've always wanted to...

I absolutely love it. And this is just the beginning...i would have added more tattoos, but...well...they cost a lot more...
After that, we worked from morning till night packing up our home, cleaning, organizing, storing, etc. It's shocking. We are pretty simple. We don't keep a lot around. We are also VERY clean...but when you move, you realize that you have WAY TOO MUCH and that behind it all...its VERY dirty...
Anyway...6 days later Oliver, Oskar and I were on a plane to our new home:
home... it is lovely....
And then reality set in. This is a 7 bedroom, 3 bathroom, kitchen, dining, laundry, workshop, living room home that has only been occupied by 2 people, in a very small space of it. The rest has been unlived in...well...that's not entirely true. Its been *lived* in but not by people....by critters, rodents, spiders, lady bugs (they overtook one bedroom upstairs)...I had my work cut out for me and Bryce wasn't due to arrive for a week or more.
So, I cleaned a pocket at a time. The boys were right along side me, cleaning or un-cleaning everything I had done...Critti and Mary showed up to jump into the depths with us. It was awesome...
We have also been EXPERIENCING our new lives:
porch swing...
pony rides...
tire swings...
morning time...

Hey Susan! Your new life looks amazing and beautiful. I have some serious envy. Best of luck to you (although by the looks of it you should be sending some our way).
