It's hard to believe that in less than three weeks from now we will close on our first home! It's funny how the sense of time transitions. When we made the offer on the house, the closing date seemed right around the corner. Then we started to get excited when talking about decorating (and Nate getting his grill) and time seemed to expand and the closing date all of a sudden seemed too far away. The moment that we started the moving "to-do" list time sped back up and panic of how close it was set back in. Are we going to be able to get all of this done in time?! I know the answers is yes, but we sure are feeling the pressure of getting everything done.

Before the chaos of the move sets in, we are lucky enough to have planned a week's vacation with Nate's parents and family starting this weekend. We've rented a lake house in Alabama and plan to spend all of next week relaxing. It couldn't have been planned for a better time! It should give us the energy we need to tackle the move which is of course happening at the busiest time at work for both of us :)
