So much to say, but I’m short on time. A few things I will tell you…
- Comcast didn’t deliver our internet install box, surprise surprise – because of the holiday weekend, it should now hopefully arrive today.
- The moving-out was tiring and took about 6hrs total, with the help of our friend Ben. I helped load boxes and then cleaned while the boys puzzle-pieced everything into the slightly-to-small-22-foot-truck. Luckily they are Tetris geniuses and got it all in.
- The moving in was MUCH easier. We loaded all of the boxes in the garage, so we can empty them out 1 by 1. It’s been way less cluttered and messy looking this way. Also less overwhelming!
- Our new house is SO much better than the Denver house. I instantly felt “home.”
- Despite everything that needs to be unpacked, I feel SO much more relaxed and at ease than the whole time we were in Denver.
- I haven’t taken one photo with the dSLR in 4 days!!!
- I have photos on my point n’ shoot but forget it at home.
- My family has supplied today’s Edible Perspective
My mom cooked a huuuge meal for the family yesterday. Wish I was there!!!
Dessert was from courtesy of a recipe from Ashley (never home)maker’s blog! My mom made the apple cider pound cake she featured recently. Yes, my mom reads food blogs 
A future food photographer in the making!
Different angle.
Above view. Good job mom!!
And now for a little contrast…she switched up the mat below. So proud
Jenna [my cousin] applying the glaze with a *mini spoon.* <3
Somehow Jenna is already in SEVENTH grade, which I cannot believe.
Seal of approval.

Opening my email today, I was dying looking at these photos!!! Thank you to my awesome family for supplying today’s post. See you all soon…hopefully from internet in my own house!
I can deal without email for a few days, but being in a new town and not being able to look up where things are online, gets old fast!!
Bye for now!

Can’t even tell you how much I love this post. Makes sense that you have a family as fun and creative as you! SO GLAD you are starting to feel settled already! What I would give for a garage to keep extra crap. Although being surrounded by it is forcing me to tackle it quickly.

Okay, I had to scroll through twice to figure out what “HIASLEY” spelled. Then I saw the “H”, and then I realized it was two separate words. Ha, oof!
Glad you two are getting all settled!
