"There's no place like home" what new meaning that famous quote from the Wizard of Oz holds for us now. Finally, nearly 16 months since the fire, we are back!!! Thanks to my sweet friends and a plea on Facebook, we had tons of help moving, actually a few folks that we don't see too often have been checking in now and again just to see what the updates were and make sure we knew they "really did want to help us". So it was pretty fast and a little chaotic but we got it all here and though my "gals" did a great job unpacking the kitchen, and my sister flew in from Colorado to help me get organized, I do have a few boxes that need to be tended too - most of them in the craft room but one day soon creativity will be flowing in there, I'm sure of it!
Some FAQ's
"Is every thing "done", done?" No, but we don't mind have the workers here. In fact we may even miss them when they are gone. We have spent more time with them than some of our closets friends over the past few months
"How are Aidan's Fish?" Aidan's fish didn't survive long after the fire and many of the replacements did not survive the move from Dove Canyon BUT these newest fish seem to be doing great after transport.
"Has all your furniture arrived?" Yes and no. I only ordered furniture for the kitchen and family room and it's here. We have beds now we just have to figure out what we want in the other rooms. I think our ping-pong table will look great in the dining room for now.
"What do you like most about your house now?" Everything! There are things I love about every room and I can't really pick a favorite. You'll just have to come see for yourself.
"Does it feel like home?" Funny though everything is new (except the foundation) it still feels like home to us. It's so familiar in fact, that I keep trying to throw things away in the dishwasher - because that's where the trash can used to be, and I reach for light switches that have been re-located, the list goes on but it's not upsetting to me. Every time I find myself reverting to an "old habit", it makes me smile because I am reminded that I am finally home.
