We are moved in!
Mom, Dennis, Grandma Jean and I spent ALL day Monday and Tuesday moving us in. Monday was our first night in our new home! We all just LOVE it here! The boys are so settled now that they both get it that this is home. Cole spends a LOT of time in his new room. He just loves his new privacy and being able to do his own thing and keep his brother out of his things. Thats really special to him.
Brody seems to be adjusting well. He sure didn't like it at all when we were clearing out the old house and loading stuff up. He just walked around crying and hanging on our legs looking up at us with eyes that said "why are you taking away all of our things" ??? Now that we are here and getting stuff unpacked and all settled in, he seems so much better about being here! He goes to bed about 9-10 each night and sleeps through till about 9 every day. He seems to like his own room also! He goes in there and plays with his toys and just is so quiet!
There's been sooooo much activity going on around here the last few days. We've unpacked, and put away, installed new cabinets, installed fridge, stove, dishwasher, microwave, new tub and shower fixtures and plumbing, new kitchen sink and counter tops. I've had Carla Rodeffer here hanging curtains, and sewing them shorter for me on moving day. Dish network came and hooked up the satellite, Adams came and hooked up my internet today too finally. I finally got my washer and dryer hooked up last night, so I brought over all the dirty clothes from the old house and gathered up the dirty clothes from here and got them all washed and dried today and last night. I will get them all hung up and put away tomorrow, I couldn't today because they were working on the plumbing and there is a door in the wall of my closet, so I have all my crap hanging in Bill's closet for now, which is toooo full, so for now the clothes are just sitting around waiting on getting put away in our closets. I have all the boys stuff folded, hung and put away already though.
Tomorrow I need to really bust butt and get the laundry done, and then unpack my office stuff. I need to get that all whipped up and into the computer. It's crazy how behind a couple weeks can get you if you don't stay on top of things. Mom and Carla Rodeffer are coming out again tomorrow and Carla's making me a curtain for my bathroom out of some awesome material I just bought yesterday at Wal-Mart. It was on the clearance isle for $4. I am so happy cause it's cute and can't wait to see it up there in the bathroom!
Once Jamie gets all his tools and supplies out of here this place is going to need a once over. Get everything wiped down for the last time and dusted. The saw dust and plaster dust in here is bad when he's got things to cut into every day. There's really no reason to clean till it's all done.
We've got some trim to get up in the kitchen, the cupboards kick plates to put up, 2 doors to install, closet shelves to build, windows to calk, quarter round to put up in the dining room and then we should almost be done, minus building the deck. I'm so happy with this house and how amazing everything has came together. Now if I could just find a place for EVERYTHING. I've still been pitching stuff here too! If I can't find a place for it, it's gone! I know I am awful, but I can't stand clutter and I just want to hurry and get completely organized. I am so happy to be here and happy everythings worked out okay and happy at how far we've come since the beginning. With all our help we've had, they've done AMAZING work! We've had some awesome volunteers too!
Tonight I cooked up tacos. Cole picked out the meal! Tomorrow night I am going out with my girls! I need a fun girls night out! I can't wait to see them all, it's been ages since we've all been together and had some fun!
I will take lots of pictures soon and get them up on facebook once I can find my camera and get it all charged up!
