Life Lately

I honestly feel like our days have been running together lately. We have been busy every single day and while it has been nice, we are tired. 

Here is a run down of life lately in the Smith House.

1. Last week we said goodbye to our household goods!!! It only took the packer 6.5 hours to pack the whole house which was absolutely amazing. The crew the spectacular and the loaders were just as great. Even though our stuff ended up in a split shipment everything made it to NC yesterday and we are already scheduled to receive our goods the day after we close on the new house! Woo! E didn't quite know what to think about all the boxes.
2. On Saturday we ran the last race for the Heartland 39.3 series. All I can say is wow, this race was by far the most challenging. I'm not sure if it was because of all the hills or because we were pushing E. We were thrilled when we finished haha. A few of my fellow SLAM sisters ran it as well and it was so fun!
We did also learn that it takes roughly 12 miles of riding in the stroller for E to fall asleep. These photos of E sleeping crack me up!
She wasn't happy when she got woken up at the end.
3. I enjoyed a pretty low key but wonderful Mother's Day. I was spoiled with breakfast at my favorite local restaurant followed by a trip to the zoo. Later in the day we attended a dance recitals for a few friends' daughters' and it was wonderful. The day ended with a low key dinner and being with my 2 favorite people. 
4. Now that we are living in an empty house we are able to really clean. We have spent the last day or so patching holes and painting. It's so tedious but it will be nice to have it done. We had our pre-move out inspection yesterday and I'm pretty sure we will be just fine when it comes to clearing housing.
5. Last Friday, we finally received Emma's ashes. The vet here in town was absolutely amazing with handling everything and we even received a precious casting of her paw print. It does bring us a sense of peace knowing that she is home with us.
I hope you all had a good weekend!
