The hubs, kids, and I have been co-housing for almost four weeks now.
During that time,
Tim and I had a lousy first night of sleep due to noisy floor boards we weren’t used to and wondered what we were thinking saying yes to all this.
Tim injured his back.
We hosted a birthday party, complete with a bouncy house and the messiest decorate-your-own cupcakes situation you’ve likely seen, for my daughter and three nieces (two of whom traveled from Texas to celebrate with us!).
We worked toward making our new space a home.
My whole self refused to do much of anything one day, after I ran on adrenaline for weeks.
We traveled a few hours to explore new and beautiful places, eat delicious, indulgent food, and jump on hotel beds, just the four of us.
By the end of that trip, Selah was asking when we were going home so she could see “the rest of our family in the house.”
Selah and Nolan love having in-house play mates.
Tim and I have become used to the noise (fans help!) and have been sleeping well.
We still have some boxes to unpack, because sometimes we need to go to the children’s museum or the park or sit on our butt.
Sometimes putting food away is like playing a game of tetris.
Dog hair is in abundance around here.
But overall, being completely honest with you, we are loving living where and how we do. I am so glad we said yes.
