Moving Day Tomorrow!!

Tonight I am the Sherpa packing up base camp to make our final ascent to the Spruce House.  It's been almost 4 weeks at base camp.  I've learned a lot.  The main lesson that I continue to learn is that we can live with so much less stuff.  The suitcases we each packed for a couple of week's stay has been fine in taking us through Christmas and our stay here.  5 weeks and we have lived out of a suitcase and been absolutely fine.  Homeschooling is still not going real smoothly.  Mainly because we are doing the back and forth thing between houses, or at least I hope that's the root of the evil.  Camille's school work finally came today.  She has 4 huge binders full of what look like worksheets.  She said this is going to be boring.  I assured her that it would be fun.  I then proceeded to tell her about what a fun teacher I had been once upon a time.  She said that anybody that had me probably would run if they saw me today.  Such an optimist!
Madeline arrived on Saturday and had a great stay at the Georges.  Kristi is her new best friend.  She said she spent more time hanging with her than anyone else.  Couldn't ask for a better friend than Kristi.  Thank KG.  Madeline even drove part of the the way home from Santa Fe.  65 miles an hour in the suburban and she rocked it.  I am so old.  Her books haven't arrived yet but I'm not concerned about her.  Besides they have until July to have the work done.  Once we get into the house we'll get going strong on school.
We passed inspection today and will get our certificate of occupation tomorrow.  We can start moving the rest of our stuff in and begin unpacking.  Todd stayed at the house this evening to hopefully finish up a few things and maybe even do another round of cleaning.  So excited to get to move in.  Get our lives on a routine and just enjoy our beautiful cabin.  We will then begin our prayers for snow!  Yes, snow.  Can't believe I'd ever say that.
Camille tried a ballet class in town tonight.  She looked like a prima ballerina amongst the rug rats.  Well, maybe it wasn't quite that bad.  We had already met the teacher.  She waitresses at one of our new fav spots.  She was a super great teacher.  I got to stay in the class and watch it the whole time.  They want to bump Camille up to be with a more advanced class so she will try that on Monday.  I'm glad she wants to keep trying.  Snowboarder, skier, and ballerina.  I great combination.  A huge thank you to Footlights and the awesome ballet technique that she has been taught.  She knew her ballet terms and could follow along better than any of the other 4 in the class.
Moving day tomorrow.  I'm ready!
