Settling In Again....AGAIN

IN THE BEGINNING, Pat and I had a baby...little baby Ryder. At the time, and for the next 3 weeks after, I lived behind my sister and brother-in-law's in an apartment. It was PERFECT for me. 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom and a little kitchen...then came baby...and husband...and then my mom. It was not big enough for all three of us (in two different combinations) and I had to begin the journey to meet my husband at our home on the other side of the country...
So, I picked up all of my stuff--with the help of my mom, dad, brother and sister, and "moved" to Orlando, FL so the rest of my family could see the little baby bear. I had just had a c-section, so I didn't really have to pack or clean much--everyone else did that for me :)I was thankful for the help--but it still felt like a lot of work...
Then, I got to Orlando and had to figure out what I needed and unpack it all and organize it in the room I grew up in. It was nice to be back "home" with my family. (It was so hard leaving my in-laws and we all cried, but I knew it was a step closer to being with my husband.) My mom was there to help me with Ryder, except from the hours of 10pm-5am haha. If I had a question, she answered it and she gave me a lot of good advice on what to do with this new baby.
One month later, I found myself at the airport at 4am...YES-4am. I had been packing the week before because I was FINALLY on my way to my husband! YAY...this is what I had been waiting for for the past 10 months since we found out I was pregnant.
When I finally got to MY home, I was unable to set up all of my stuff and Ryder's stuff and everything had a place and it stayed in it's place and stayed organized...WHOOOO my parents would be proud of me. Then, 36 boxes of STUFF showed up at my door...OMG-I had forgotten about all of this stuff...I mean, did I really need all of this if I had just gone a month without it?

Now this is what my place looked like a few days ago. I've gotten most everything unpacked (only 2 boxes left) and Pat has thrown the boxes out. Everything is almost how we want it.
I want to go around to some garage sales tomorrow and look for a bookcase to put some of our miscellaneous items on and a dresser for Ryder's room....When EVERYTHING has a place and is put up and clean-I'll take some more pictures of the FINAL PRODUCT. It does look amazing so far---just not as complete as I want it. I'm excited for the project ahead:)
