Our New Home

Entry Area and Stairs

Formal Living Room

Double sided fireplace in our room. One side faces our bed area and the other side is a sitting area with a big bay window facing the beautiful lake view. This will be the new home of our "Spa Room". Imagine being on the massage table or chair with a fire roaring in the fireplace and the Lake view in the window. So great!

I'm finally posting about our new home. We are eyeball deep in packing and preparing for the move so it is really helpful for me to be able to look at pictures and remember how excited we are about moving here. Pictures just do not do it justice. It really is a great place. The home owner association includes a stunning club house , swimming pools, spa, huge lake view park, weight room and more. Our back yard is big by Southern CA standards and includes a wooden playscape for the kids.

This Saturday we are having the first drop off of the mobile storage units (like a POD). Then another round of them next weekend so we should have the house nearly empty by then. The following weekend we have hired a housekeeping company to come and do the last dreaded move-out clean. My back is thrilled at this idea!

Meanwhile~ Jim and Johnny are on their way to get Johnny's medical exam done for our home study update (for the adoptions of Jacques and Vilner). Tomorrow is my behind the wheel drive test and if that goes well I just need the safety office to reinstate my license and I'll be driving again. Will it ever really happen? Between the adoptions and my license I feel like my wheels just spin and spin and I wonder if it will ever really end. Until then, what can I do but keep trying?
