Slowly

After a whirlwind few weeks, we are finally starting to feel a bit settled in our new life here in Minnesota. It was a blur of purging, prepping, and packing for three weeks until our possessions got loaded onto the truck and then we started our long cross-country journey with two cars, two kids, and a cat. Everyone handled the drive as well as can be expected and we were so grateful to see dear friends along the way and then to finally pull in to my parents house--that meant the time of transition was nearing an end.

Our stuff made it here only a couple of days after we did and we spent all of last week getting unpacked and generally settled, taking care of all the fun things that need to happen after you move to a new state.

John starts his new job today and both boys are in their first full week of school. Getting back into routine has been wonderful and helpful, especially after not having much of routine or regular anything for nearly a month. Slowly, but surely, we are making progress at starting to make not just our house, but our new area too, feel like home.
