All moved in! (But not settled)

You know, I think it is some kind of law that you cannot ever be fully unpacked from a move.
Still, I would like my living room to be less than half full of boxes some day.
We're enjoying being in our new house. We've got a big back yard with lots of space for gardening. Jeff has his own office. Sorta. He has to share space with my craft stuff, but still, he doesn't have to share space with the toys anymore!!
It's an older home, built in 1928, and it needs work. The structure is sound, but the plumbing and electrical need a complete overhaul. It suits our needs for now. Nothing is falling down on us, or leaking, or broken, so I'm pretty happy with it! The lot has lots of potential, we have 90 feet to the back fence so we are talking about putting in an addition someday. When we can afford it.
We have a cat now as well. She is black and white, still has claws, and is THOROUGHLY spoiled! She is a very affectionate lap cat, so while I am sitting here typing this, she is nudging me for pats.
Esther and Tae-Tae just continue to get bigger. The living room is a constant mess, but at least Esther is getting better at cleaning it up!
We are getting ready for Christmas. Which basically entails frantically getting out Christmas gifts and cards and trying to unbury a spot in the living room for the tree. Taea has no regard for the word "no", so I am not looking forward to cleaning up all the torn up decorations. Maybe I'll put it in the playpen...
I have been working hard to start a craft business. I have a booth at the Quilted Bear in Provo. So far, not much luck, but with this economy, it's to be expected. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!
Well, I don't have too much time for typing now, I WILL try to be more diligent about posting in the future.

The great thing about those boxes that never got unpacked from a move? Not having to pack them for the next one. I have a bunch of those in my basement which are going to start moving right after Christmas. We are going down with one load in a trailor, mostly from the storage unit, and to plant bulbs and order our stove, and check which rooms we want painted and what color, etc.

Best of luck with your storage options.
