We have moved!!!

Yesssss!!!!
The move is over! It was quite stressful to say the least! I am so relieved it's all over and done with, and we're all settling in nicely.
I can honestly say I have been more stressed out this last month than I've ever been it my entire life. Seriously. I've experienced a lot of high stress situations; planning a HUGE wedding while working full-time, birthing 2 children (one pregnancy was high-risk), dealing with some crazy people while in real estate, having my man go overseas and fight a war; the list goes on. But never have I felt stress like this. I have probably given myself an ulcer from all of it! Eric worked almost everyday the last month, and I packed the house. We began the move on Sunday. Thank goodness we have the most amazing family, and they all are always so willing to help us. Eric and his brother Kyle, along with my dad and father-in-law moved things all day Sunday while my mom, mother-in-law and myself unpacked. Then we did it all over again Monday with the help of my brothers and Eric's dad. I really don't know how we'd have done it without them. Oh yeah, I do; I'd still be unpacking everything today! But, everything is done!!! What a great feeling. My brothers came over today to start painting the house for us. They got the kids rooms done, and a few other rooms. I am really happy with the way that is turning out. Now, we are waiting for our kitchen table to be delivered, and we have to order a dining room table and sectional for the bonus room. But all in all, we are settling in. I have been really worried about how Cole would adjust, but he has surprised me so much! He loves the new house; anytime we need to go back to the old house for anything, he pitches a fit and says, "NO!" Eric and I are so thankful he has taken it so well. He is probably more excited than we are!
So, we are scheduled to close on both houses tomorrow. We were supposed to close today, but there was a minor hiccup on the purchasers side for our old house. Luckily, it's nothing major and we are good to go for tomorrow. I can't wait until it's official. And, I'm ever so grateful we were able to move into our new house early. It made life so much easier.
And, I am taking it all really well myself. I'm not nearly as sad as I thought I'd be. I went back there yesterday to do a final cleaning, and I wasn't really sad at all. I think I'm just so excited about our new house.
Of course, we'll see how I do at the closing when it's official. :)
I'll post some pictures as soon as I can!
