Settling.

Somehow last night I got talked into letting the Nies stay home from 

school one more day because we had one more load to make.

And it did sound really nice to have the boys lifting the heavy loads.  

So I agreed.

For most of the summer, we had been storing some of our outdoor things

 and such in a friend's barn in Apex about 20 minutes away.

 We used the moving van one more time and spent most of the day making

loads from the barn to the house.

My favorite part of the day was when we stopped for lunch

and I got a nice cold Dr. Pepper.

I've been drinking a lot these days.

The house is a nightmare inside with boxes everywhere,

but I am grateful for the mess.  It means we have a place to settle in,

and I enjoy the settling-in process.
