We've Arrived!

I can't believe it's been a week since the movers came and packed up our house.  I can't even begin to tell you all that has happened in the past week.  But trust me when I tell you it has been crazy.  We are finally living in a hotel in Milwaukee and we bought a house last week!   It's a 1936 Colonial complete with beautiful mouldings and old floors (I can't tell you how much I've missed those things in our last house).  I find it so charming even with the dated kitchen and baths.   We're in walking distance to just about anything and just a short drive into the city.  I know we are going to love it.  We arrived on Sunday for the housing inspection.  Everything looks good which is a relief.  Afterwards we headed to the park in town that leads down to Lake Michigan.   Magnolia & George have been such champs through all of this change.

We may close on our new house in just a couple of weeks which would be great.  In the meantime we are going to spend a week over the 4th on the island with some of my family.  Can't wait to get up there and unwind for a while!   I'll be back soon!
