Month in Review: October 2018

Happy November!!! It’s been a crazy month…we finally moved into our new house and while I am so happy to be out of our temporary housing situation, and I inundated with boxes! I am slowly taking my time unpacking and setting up my new digs. I am thrilled to finally be reunited with all my books 🙂 Having them in storage for the past 5+ months was hard. I did take some with me, but of course, it was hard to know what I was going to want to read, and we had no idea how long we were going to be waiting til we got into our new place. It will take a while for me to get them out of boxes and onto bookshelves…and I think we will be building a new bookshelf in the living room – we definitely have need for it!
