Okay, I know it's been a while. I have been super busy unpacking and trying to get everything where I want it. I think having more space can be a bit harder. When you are shoved into an 1800 square foot house with 6 people, you just make everything fit as best you can. Here, I find myself thinking, "should it go here, or should it go there?".
We have got most of our stuff. We received 2 different shipments a week apart. Makes unpacking fun when you have stuff, but no dressers to put your stuff in. We are settling in and enjoying our new home. We still have projects to do, but it is kind of fun doing things that you know you'll enjoy for more than just 2 years. We still have not painted our entry, because we are planning on hanging French doors for Sarah and Rachel's room and the living room. We have finished painting everything else though. We still have pictures to hang and things to move from one spot to another, but it feels pretty good so far. I know, for those of you that are not military, it seems impossible to unpack this quickly, but when you do it every two years, you get a lot of experience. You also get rid of things you don't need. This time, we realized after getting here that we didn't need a few more things than we thought, so we are planning a big yard sale!
The kids are doing GREAT in school. We are very happy about the Canyon schools. They are also loving the neighborhood. We have become Kid Central in the neighborhood. We love that, because then we know where they are and what they are doing.
We have had some fun things going on the past couple of weeks, so I will try to post those things as soon as I can.

Just thought I'd check today to see if there was an update...and there was! The house looks great. Love the new living room furniture. Glad to hear y'all are settling in and having fun. Can't wait for the next update.
Your house looks great. You are awesome. I wish I had 1/4 of your talent and organization. Feel like coming to VA any time soon? :) Best wishes as you continue to settle in. lots of love.
It is looking great, Aud!! You're right...the den does look great with the leather couch in there. Seeing the fireplace made me want to go down and paint mine white...LOL! I just might once we get to painting down there. You did a great job on the painting, too!
The house looks awesome. I guess you had more experience than I do at this. I am not living in boxes, but feel like there is still stuff to do.
