moving day

we moved last night. i meant to carefully document the mayhem for the purposes of this here blog, but the whole thing went off so quickly and well, i didn't even have time to try to remember where i had packed my camera. i did find it (i don't want anyone to worry) but by then it was too late, plus i was enjoying a root beer float. but, maybe i'll document the mounds of boxes and weird odds and ends that surfaced during the move, and which will certainly stay strewn about for long enough to be immortalized on digital film. (question: there is no such thing as digital film really, is there? but what do you call it, i wonder?)

but, i digress.

really what i am trying to say is, thank you! thank you! THANK YOU! to everyone who so graciously and effectively helped. mom mom and big baby brother ben even trekked all the way from denver to rescue me in my time of panic and need, and aunt emily cleaned my whole (old) kitchen and didn't even get mad when we accidentally stranded her at the old house, and all those boys didn't complain once about having to move a dining room table that weighs as much as an elephant. and so many other people did so much that i feel like i'll be returning favors for a lifetime, which i am perfectly happy to do. (we are also keeping your polaroids on the fridge. forever.)

so, thanks again.

the house, by the way, is darling and wonderful and already feeling like home, and you should all come and join us in warming it a few weeks from now. everyone is invited! even if you skipped out of helping us to play basketball.
