100!

This, my friends, is my 100th post! And I am happy to announce that we are officially moved-into our new home. It's mostly just a pile of boxes and furniture right now, but that will change fast enough. I'm really excited to start putting things in their new places, sorting out items that will find a new home in the trash or the yard sale box. Less is more, right?

The move on Saturday actually went pretty well. We were able to empty the majority of the house out in one trip and we will be going back for the rest over the next several weeks. Our goal is to have the old house on the rental market by the beginning of May.

We would never have been able to accomplish what we did on Saturday without the help and overwhelming support of our friends. I would like to personally thank the following people:

• Mom & Dad Brace: for taking the kids for the weekend so we could focus on the move.
• Mom & Dad K.: for taking care of our niece Hailey on Saturday so we could have Anna and Shaun's help.
• Members of The Moving and Packing and Setting-Back-Up Team.

I think that's everyone but my mind is a little cloudy. Everyone jumped right in and made the process easy on Mike and I. We went back to the old house yesterday to do some laundry and grab a few more boxes-boy did the place feel weird...and small. We're glad that we're here and plan to stay for awhile. I have no desire to move again in the near future after all of that!

A big "Thank You" again to all who participated and were able to lend a hand. We'll be happy to return the favor in the future...you deserve it!
