I'm alive. It's just been a whirlwind 6 weeks. So let's backtrack and recap:
July 31st was my last day in the office and the boys' last day at Primrose. August 1st we got on an airplane and flew to California for a week. We visited with my brother and his girlfriend, Lara, my two amazing nephews, my 92 year old grandmother, my aunt and uncles and my cousins and their kiddos. It was a fantastic trip and we have lots of great memories! The downside to the trip was Julian's inability to sleep away from home. We were all tired but happy.
Mr. Cob flew back to Atlanta the following Thursday and then picked up the dog and they got in a car and headed North. He met me and the boys in Chicago Friday afternoon (we flew - a 4 hour airplane ride alone with two small kids is about as far as I'd recommend)! We then dropped Mr. Cob at his little brother's bachelor party (where we picked up Nana) and then drove to Michigan for a week at my in-laws. Well, kind of "at" my in-laws. They're currently renovating their house so it's not exactly livable/kid-friendly, so we rented a house a few doors down. We had a lovely week on the lake - I even rented a Stand-up Paddle Board! Auntie Al even joined us for a few days and we ended the trip with brunch with Mr. Cob's college friends and their kiddos. And then we drove through the night and arrived back home at 3am.
So that puts us in mid-August. We had a week to just kind of chill at my parents house (they were still in Cali) and then we closed on our house in Macon on August 22nd around 10am and then at 11am we started some demo in the kitchen to remove the intrusive hanging cabinet. I'm not sure why it was there in the first place. Then we headed back to the ATL so I could spend the weekend with my law school girlfriends as we celebrated the upcoming birth of a new baby boy!
Mr. Cob moved to Macon on the 24th and started work on the 25th. We had painters come in, take down a lot of wallpaper and paint almost all of the rooms in the house (it seriously needed a face-lift). Half of our furniture arrived August 31st (our 6 year wedding anniversary! Iron - Mr. Cob gave me an awesome Le Creuset wok!!!! My present to him was moving to Macon. I kid. #notreally). And then the rest of our furniture came 6 days ago, September 6th, which is when I finally moved in. The kids came the next day. And here we are.
So we are officially Macon residents. Hooray.
