Moving is pain

But is worth it! I have internet access this morning for the first time since Saturday morning (I'm at work). We are all moved in (read: everything is in our house, out of the apartment, but generally still in boxes... working on that... and we're still painting). We are tired. I'm sick. Kurt's mom is here for a few days. We almost had disaster with the green paint I chose for the kitchen (but a second coat proved it to be a false alarm). We have a king size bed (amazing!). Zumi loves the backyard. There are 4 foxes living in the backyard (not counting the Zumster). We no longer have people to our sides and above us. It's so quiet at night! Everyone that sees our house comments on my BRIGHT paint choices (but really, you wouldn't expect anything else from me, would you?). There's no train across the street. My phone is dead and I can't remember where the charger is. I've been dreaming of painting and moving just about every night. I've had pizza for 7 straight days. I discovered pho on Saturday (traditional Vietnamese soup that is dee-lish). I finally have a grown up shower curtain(!!). WE ARE HAPPY!!

More "before" pics coming, and some "in-between" pics. And actually, the bathroom has "almost done!" pics coming too. Yay! In the meantime (read: until I have my sanity and living room floor back), here's a post:
