Thanksgiving, Christmas, and an episode of Hoarders!

So we are just a few weeks away from moving in the new house! I'm really getting excited, but at the same time right now I'm kind-of sad! I always put up my Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving and it's been hard to see all the store's Christmas decorations and not think about decorating for Christmas, because it's what I love to do- but I have NO ROOM for a tree in this apartment, but we know what the true meaning of CHRISTmas is!! I'm so very thankful for our precious family, and all of our blessings. Tree or no tree, somehow we'll pull off Christmas and moving probably in the same week! We are busting at the seems here in this apartment. We aren't there much, mainly to sleep, eat, get ready ect.- but I walked in yesterday after running errands and had to laugh, it looks like an episode of hoarders! We have boxes everywhere of lighting and plumbing fixtures, just recently got out of storage 4 large tubs of winter clothes and they take up most of the living room- no closet space, dishes and laundry piling up - it's a mess! On top of that, Riley has been practicing her Cello and I'm sure the neighbors wonder what's going on in our apartment- ( she's been playing the theme song from Jaws!) HA! All this to say, we are very Thankful for the new house and can't wait to spread out, unpack, de-clutter, and organize our lives again! Pictures coming SOON! I love this saying- " What if you woke up today and all you had left was what you thanked God for yesterday!"
