WE MOVED!

The End!

Ok, just kidding. But we did finally move this weekend. It really was such a sense of accomplishment to the whole entire process. Now we are figuring out the quirks to the house, such as the hot water heater. We got our cable and internet set up today, and it took Comcast about 5 hours to install our cable outlets.

More updates and pictures to come soon. Oh, by the way...I forgot how much moving sucks. I plan to not do that again for at least another 5-7 years. Since college, it'll be the longest I've lived in once place!

Making some progress

It's been quite awhile since I've updated. We've been very busy with the house, work, and little league. We are planning to move in next weekend, since our cable is set to switch over to the 30th. Lords know we could not live anywhere without cable and internet!

One of our biggest project to was to install a closet organization in the master bedroom. Here's Eric hard at work. It looks awesome now, so I'll have to post another picture later. I'm pumped about my new shoe wall!

We've also been ordering our new faux wood blinds and scheduling a time for them to be installed. This has been quite a frustrating process with Home Depot, but I don't have the engery to complain about it now.

The biggest project was picking up our furniture from my client, getting it into the house, and assembling it. We survived the 50 mile round trip U-Haul ride and managed to make it home with everything. We got the furniture out of the truck onto the grass in the front year ourselves, but then we had to call a friend for further assistance. It was all VERY heavy! As you can see from the pictures, we accumulated quite a bit of trash from this process! Thank goodness we still have access to the apartment dumpster. But I love everything we ordered, which is good considered that I ordered it all from a catalog picture.

And on an unrelated note, I think I want to steal my nephew because he's too cute! He's the first little baby I've held and he was just so cute and sweet. I know I don't want one now myself, but it's hard to resist a cuddly baby. Hopefully I'll just get a cuddly puppy instead!

First Weekend

Our first couple days in the house have been quite eventful. We had several family and friend visitors (shout outs to Mom, Dad, Beaird, Judy, Robert, Lawson, and Brandy!) over for a quick tour, and we did some work getting a few things set up. Let me re-phrase, Eric did some work and I sort of stood around and watched. I'm not very handy!

Once it started snowing on Sunday I drove over to the house to snap a quick photo as a memory of our first weekend in the house. I love snow.

And on Sunday we welcomed a new family member! In the middle of the snow 'storm' Eric's sister had her baby, Will. We spent a good part of the afternoon at the hospital waiting for him to be born and watching him in the nursery. I took a few pics, but this is the only one where he has clothes on...and I'd feel bad for posting a naked picture! =)
