Feeling more like home

We are so excited to finally have our own house here in NC!  We moved in a little over a week ago and are getting close to having all our boxes unpacked.   When we moved from AK we sold almost all our furniture so last weekend we took a trip to Charlotte, NC to shop at IKEA for some furniture.

It was a great family trip ( it's about a 3 hour drive) and we were able to find almost all the furniture we needed.   Neal loved shopping with us and pointing out all the things that he liked.  All that furniture shopping made for one tired little boy (or I guess a silly boy who was pretending to sleep while we paid for everything)

Once home we had our work cut out for us, assembling everything...

Assembly wasn't as difficult as I had anticipated.  I was even able to assemble our nightstands by myself while Tyler was at work.

All of us were involved in putting together the furniture, even Neal, who was very helpful in putting together kitchen chairs.

So, finally a year after moving out of our home in AK, one month of driving cross country, and over 2 months in the TWR lodge we finally have a house that is slowly beginning to look like home.

 It's good to be home.
