Update

Remember that time I was MIA and you had to read all my old posts to keep yourself from going into serious withdrawal? I can't promise that it's over, but I can tell you what we've been up to for the past month and a half.

You may recall that we are moving to New Orleans. As you know I don't plaster my whereabouts all over the internet so I hesitated to say that we were going to New Orleans to look at houses. We found a house and I think it will be such a wonderful home for us. It is a raised cottage with a backyard that Theo will be thrilled with. I've been promising him a yard since we got him. I have been waiting patiently for a home that we can paint and make our own. And deciding on paint colors is a subject for another post.

I went back to Charlottesville the week of Michael's graduation which I will blog about in the next post. He graduated on a Sunday and we had the house packed and we were gone by the following Thursday. A little faster than I had hoped, but my brother was helping us drive the moving truck so staying longer wasn't an option. I did get to say goodbye to my two groups of knitters, my med wife friends, and my boss and co-workers at the toy store. I had one last cupcake from Cappelino's Crazy Cakes, dinner at Mas, and chicken and dumplings at Eppie's.

We've been staying at my parents' house for the past couple weeks until we close on our house this week. I've started working for my dad's construction company, and Michael is taking it easy until orientation and residency starts.

I'm a little disoriented. I haven't really cooked a whole lot in the past few months, and I've crafted even less. Every now and then I start to miss Charlottesville. I think it will really hit me when we are in our own place and we're back into our own routine.

Hopefully our internet will be up and running quickly in our new home and I can start blogging about painting and decorating. Stay tuned.
