WWEEE ARRE HHERRE!

One million Brooke points if you can name the juvenile novel my title came from? It's my favorite novel!
Anyway, If you can't tell, we have moved in and have officially been here 2 weeks today! Hooray! We are loving our new home and we are settling in nicely. Now, my first wish would be for someone to magically find a place for all this stuff! After having everything in storage for almost 6 months, I forgot how much crap... junk... stuff... meaningful memorabilia we have collected in almost 13 years of marriage! My second wish would be for a builder fairy (is that an oxymoron or what?!) to come and build me some shelves for my storage room cause stacking open boxes on their sides to display food storage is just not working like I planned. Then I would wish for some lawn to decrease the amounts of mud entering onto my beautiful new tile!
All whining aside, I have to say, this is really a dream come true. It was ALMOST worth giving birth in Puerto Rico! Boy, when I think back on all the things we have done to get us to this point... sacrifice is so worth it! But, I'm rambling again. Suffice it to say that we are loving it here. Our neighbors are great and Jordan has his "very best friend" right next door. (He had a hard time finding friends to play with in the old neighborhood.)
We are so grateful to all the people who came to help us move. Some even came twice! I hope your backs have sufficiently recovered. We are touched by the welcome we have received into the ward and neighborhood. And we so appreciate all the help and support we were blessed with during the building process. We are especially grateful to my parents for putting up with us crashing around in their basement for 5 months (minus 1 week). We miss you already.

Is it Horton Hears a Who? I am so excited to see your house!

Nope, it's not Horton Hears a Who. Think a little older. It's a novel.

The quote comes from A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'Engle in case anyone cares.
