settled in

we are finally settled into our house. moving is so exciting, but mostly so exhausting. because i apparently didn't do my research, i didn't know that the gas bill was a separate bill. i didn't figure out until a saturday that we didn't have hot water, so i had to wait until monday to call, and then wait until friday to get it turned on. may i just say that i absolutely hate cold showers, and i had 6 horrible days of cold showers. i took laundry over to neighbors houses, bathed my kids at my brothers, and even heated up water on the stove and put it in the bath. so that was a little rough. we didnt get out internet hooked up for about a week and a half, so that was also painful....for me....but i know, its not a necessity.

now we are enjoying being us 4 again, and it is really fun. the first couple of days berkeley kept saying that she wanted to go home, but she is slowly realizing that this is now home. she also got really excited when we put her bed in her room. she was so shocked that it was here.

i absolutely love my neighborhood. i love the way it looks. the park is about 100 yards away, and we have gone i think every single day at least once. the people are amazingly friendly, and i already feel like i know so many people. there are tons of kids around that are berkeley's age, so i am so excited for that! so i guess what i am trying to say is that we are very content and very happy!
