Been a busy week since I last checked in with the ol’ Gonch Bloggy Blog.

We’ve been slowly getting into the new house. No hurry though. The lese on the condo runs through Jan 10th. We’ve been slowly moving things over and doing some things like cleaning up and painting at the house. We let the kids pick whatever theme/color scheme they wanted for their bedrooms – no questions asked. My daughter is going with a teal/black thing that is actually quite sharp in person. My son has this thing with camouflage and wanted his room done it that…but he also wanted stripes on the wall. We’re doing our best to make it look decent and so far it seems to be coming together. We should finish it up in a day or two. We’re hoping to move all of the big items over this weekend and then do little finishing up type stuff the last 4 or 5 days before leaving the condo for good.

Christmas didn’t really feel like Christmas with all the craziness of buying the house and moving. We had the tree reduced to garbage by Saturday night. Not a big ridiculous holiday, but everyone got what they wanted. Santa apparently thinks I’ll be doing a lot of manly work at the house because he brought me power tools for the most part.

We got out trip info from Disney too…even that’s kind of been lost in the shuffle, but damn, it’s just 33 days away! That’s going to be fun.

So yeah, moving boxes and inhaling paint fumes. Happy holidays!
