I’ve been in my home for 23 years. Can’t imagine how much stuff I have. Good gracious!!! Scary.

Part of my problem was that I inherited my mother's classroom this summer as she retired and that added a substantial amount to my load. I also had a storage shed that I hadn't looked in in 3 years and it was full to the brim. I got rid of a lot of stuff from it, but still...

My garage is completely full of boxes for my classroom. I can't even park in it. D:

Well, I’m glad we can fit our two cars in our garage. That’s a must for my hubby.

I'm glad u made it safely

It's a must for me, too. I am anxious to get into my classroom and get the boxes out of my garage!

Thank you very much! :)

Glad you are safe <3

I can't swim worth anything, but I would like to be near the sea right now. 😂 Brain needs a vacation from itself.

Sounds like you had quite an adventure on your trip, wow! Yikes, but also glad that everything went well! Now on to the next adventure: balancing between unpacking and keeping the inevitable movers' chaos at bay. x)

I need a vacation from my vacation! X) If this can be called summer vacation...not sure. I'm doing pretty well with the unpacking. My boyfriend has my back and we make a really good team.

Teamwork makes everything better! :D

As for the vacation from a vacation, maybe take the family out to scout the area for icecream parlors. It'll be a mini-vacation from all the unpacking, at least.

That's a good idea! I need to find a good frozen yogurt place, because I luuuubs FroYo. <3

Never had froyo before, but it sounds good! Reminds me, I should make more caramel sauce once the heat breaks here. :x We kind of... went through the last batch in less than 4 days.

Oh yum...caramel. I'll send you some froyo if you'll make me some caramel. -drools-

I'll do one better. ;) I'll share the recipe: https://www.thespruceeats.com/homemade-caramel-sauce-recipe-1945750

Oo! Thank you! I've never tried to make frozen yogurt, but I can give you a good smoothie recipe if you like?

I'm not much of a smoothie person, but I'd be willing to give it a try!

Ok, let me see if I can dig it up. I'll get back to you soon.

No rush! Unpacking and settling in takes priority. c:

I'm late for the news by now (been working almost non stop) but yiikes, tornado warning!!! I'm glad it all went well tough, how's the new house coming along? :)

Weeeellll....the school year started and I never quite finished unpacking. Poop. X)

So I know that I've been super scarce and I'm sorry, guys. I missed Keel Hauliday altogether and did my best for Morostide, but mostly just ended up buying all of the cheaper stuff that I missed. If anybody wants to swap, the last items that I need are here: https://subeta.net/wishlists.php/474927/270551

That said, of far more importance for me is the fact that I am recently engaged! We are going to get married on April 7th 2020 during the blooming of the cherry blossom trees. I am selling my house in Idaho so that we can purchase a home together sometime in the next couple years. More huge life changes! Wheee! And he wants to have a baby after we're married.....which is both exciting and terrifying lol.

I hope all is going great for each of you. I can't wait to hear about what is happening in your lives. I miss you guys!

Congrats on the engagement and upcoming marriage!!!
