We are all moved in!. Actually, we were completely unpacked and I pretty much had it all decorated that same weekend! (And by "we" I mean "I" had us all unpacked. Am I OCD if I wouldn't let Mike help? If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself, right?) We were planning on closing on the 2nd and moving on the 3rd, but our loan officer called and told us we could close a day early! I couldn't have been more ready! So we ended up moving in on Thursday. We fit EVERYTHING in one of these tiny 14' trucks:
It was almost comical how tightly we had that thing packed. I guarantee there was not an inch of space wasted! And we even ditched our old kitchen table (it was about 15 years old and had been through 7 or 8 moves and was totally beat up! It was so gratifying to get rid of that thing.) I wish I had taken a picture! We only had me, Mike, and Jason, packing us up. Caleb came as soon as he could from school. Then, unpacking it was just me, Mike and our one new neighbor helped for a little while. He's probably late 50's and towards the end I was worried that he might be having a heart attack. So we told him we could handle the rest. It was ALOT of work and it was HOT! but we got er done. The only problem with moving in a day early was that our fridge and other new stuff wasn't being delivered till late the next day. So we had no food that whole first day. Thank heaven's Mike's mom brought us dinner that night. We were all sick of eating fast food! (Thanks Terrie!)
So, any way...here are some pictures of us all moved in an settled.
Here is the great room.
This is our new dining set.
We got it on close-out at RC Willey, along with our couches, fridge, and washer and dryer, all on close out or discontinued where we also get a family discount from Mike's brother that works there! Thanks John!
Here is our bedroom and bathroom.
Here is my laundry ROOM!
(A whole room just for laundry!)
Here is Lydia's Room.
All she gets is her tiny bed in her room. Otherwise she would just goof around at night.
Here is Lucy's room.
This is the hall bathroom...
The basement is mostly empty.
Here is the "play room"
It's SO nice to not have that mess be the first thing people see when they come in my house and not having to tip toe over it all day long. It's out of sight. And there actually room to hang up our dress ups and keep our books on a shelf!
Here is our sad looken' basement family room.
I love how the furniture is pointed at the big empty space on the wall, like they think there's a tv coming any day soon...ha..joke's on them!
So...that's about it.
We are LOVING it here! Our ward is great and there are tons of families with kids at the same ages as ours. We have really good neighbors and I still feel spoiled every day.
