The new Lee residence!

Observation #13: Moving takes longer than you anticipate...

So our big move was on Saturday and now we are living in the chaos of boxes, not-yet-placed furniture, sawdust and paint cans. Our hope is that we'll exit our chaos by Wednesday. But like K said right before falling off to sleep last night, "I'm so happy... I couldn't be happier." I agree. It's a blessing to be starting off our family in a home we can dream of making our own (still a long to-do list of renovations ahead of us) over the next 5, 10 years.

So, moving. We decided to have movers come in to do the move, as Kevin was unbelievably busy with dealing with contractors for our kitchen the past week and would have to be at home on-site on the day of, and I am of course pregnant and therefore not much use with lifting anything. We figured that the 4-hours we allotted to professional movers would be sufficient, since we thought we don't have too much stuff. I still don't think we have that much stuff, but long story short, the move took twice that amount of time. Maybe it was too many smoke breaks those guys went on... I don't know. I wonder what our next move will be like, with so much more stuff I'm sure we'll accumulate in the years to come.

As crazy as my house is right now, I can't wait to go home today! 1.5 hours left... Time, fly please.

By the way, we found out last week, it's a girl! Chloe Joowon Lee... Can't wait to see her pretty face.
