Oy! I've started this blogging thing in the past, but it became very apparent that all of my posts were titled, "Catching Up." It's my goal to not repeat that!
Let's see. I left you off last when we picked up "The Key" to our new (rental) home in Eagle. It was wonderful. It feels far more like a home than any other place we've ever lived previously. It was nice to stand in our empty kitchen and just hug.
Saturday we headed out to Barthel's Fruit Farm in Mequon to pick apples and pumpkins. Let's see, 3 years running now we have ended pumpkin picking with a fever from Whitaker. How wonderful. Whitaker also picked a 4th pumpkin. You know, the one for his baby sister! Hmmm... wonder what he knows that we don't. Never fear, per Whitaker, she's wearing a white shirt :) He ran the fever for 4 days.
It would be wonderful to write more about my new husband, but here's how it all went down. Whitaker had his fever which was making him very grumpy, and along with that we were packing and moving which was very clearly stressing him out. So, he and I packed up and we went to stay with my parent's while Joe went to work and would head home to pack up the house. I'd join him for a few hours in the evening, but usually I was more of a hinderance than a help :)
Thursday, Whitaker's fever had broke, so we went to the courthouse to get our marriage license and also went to the social security office to officially change my name. There's my fact of the week for my husband - he won't have a wife that won't share his last name ;)
On Friday, Joe rented a truck and he moved all of the boxed items to the new house. Meanwhile, I took Whitaker to another Kohl's photo shoot where they actually used him for 2 outfits instead of just 1 on a whim because he's soo good :) Then, it was off to the DMV to get my new driver's license where we met up with Grandpa.
On Monday, after a long weekend of work with very little sleep I added Joe to my insurance. Slowly but surely, our married life is coming together! Joe continues to work on the old house ever night after work while I am on kid duty.
My husband fact for this week. He hates moving just as much as I do, but he's an amazing man as he did 99% of this move!!! I'm a VERY lucky lady. :)
