12.21.13: New Beginnings

Today, on 12/21/13, a year from the day of Maya's due date, 12/21/12, we began to move in to our new home.  It seems that the Mayan's were off by 365 days... Last year, December 21, 2012 turned out to be relatively insignificant, but today marked the Beginning of a New Era on West Johanna Street.

A few shots of hard evidence to prove the miracle.

That is OUR food and spices in the new pantry!

And our clothes are in the closet!!!  

We have officially staked our claim!

We spent the day moving food, clothes, and odds and ends into the new house.  Tomorrow, actual MOVERS are coming to move the furniture and boxes from the AFrame and the storage unit.  (Not to discredit the AMAZING help that Rob's friends were with the last move... many thanks to each of you!)

Maya, whose new favorite game is to put items in boxes and take them back out, emptied drawers and boxes as quickly as we could pack them.

As soon as we are all moved in, we are off to Houston for XMas and then San Diego on the 26th to hopefully be there for the arrival of my first niece from the O'Brien side, Kelly and Joe's baby girl.  What a lot we have to be grateful for this holiday!  

Happy Holidays to all of our friends and family and thank you for all of your support throughout this home project!  Whew, we did it!
