Apologies for posting so late, but things have been incredibly hectic for us lately. We moved on Saturday, October 4, and it was definitely the most difficult move either of us has ever experienced. To all those who participated, we are very grateful for your help. I shudder to think what we would have done without you.
We moved into what is still very much a construction zone, and are trying to settle into it a little bit more every day. The greatest challenge remains the floors, which are truly a disaster. We will have to figure out a way to fix them, which will not be an easy task now that our furniture and 8,000 boxes are in the house. Various workers are trying to finalize the electrical and plumbing, put in the phone line, and install the living room ceiling, baseboards and trim around all of the windows and doors. The list is really a lot longer, but we're taking it one day at a time.
In happier news, we have started to unpack a few things for our kitchen. As of this morning, our fridge is our only functional appliance, but never underestimate the power of a mug in the cupboard to put a smile on our faces.
Cheerier updates to follow, we hope. Thanks to everyone for your words of encouragement; they mean a lot to us.

I'm sorry to hear that moving and settling in were so fraught. Congratulations on having a working fridge! And on the near-completion of your dreamy green house, as well...
Thanks, everyone. We really appreciate the well wishes. Things are pretty bad right now, but soon, soon, soon...
