Bringing Back the Magic

The first year of marriage was so simple and so much fun. We lived in a little apartment and had not a care in the world! Then in what feels like a second, life got so complicated and busy. Last night we took a trip back in time and all slept on the floor in our new apartment. Yes... thats right, we scalled down all our things and tucked them tightly in a three bedroom basement "hometel" (as Ben calls it). Life is simple again! I'm sure I will tire of no yard or garage, but for the time being it is a fun little adventure until we find a house we like. The boys think it is great and the extra thirty minutes I had to get the kids to school this morning was golden. It was so heartwarming to watch my little men carry twenty #10 cans into the house. As completely exhausting as this process has been, I do love moving. There is something magical about the smell of new carpet and fresh paint, and the completely spotless house.
I feel a little like a newly wed again and we do definately need another honeymoon when all this is done!
Thanks in advance to everyone who helped or loaned their husbands to make this happen.
