Moving Sucks

Here are two pictures from the day we moved all the furniture and the majority of the boxes. We took a lot of breaks while loading the truck, making plenty of time to spoil the dog. Then, at the new house, we put pretty much everything in the living room to sort out later, so it turned into a maze. Now, five days later, there are still plenty of boxes, but it's a little easier to navigate. I've never done a big move like this before and I was not prepared for how long it would take and how tired I would be at the end of EVERY day. With Chris' work schedule I was pretty much doing it on my own, which was horrible, and I really had no idea how much stuff we were actually able to cram into that tiny apartment! It took a whole week to get it all cleaned out. But now we're in our house and I just get to focus on unpacking, which is fun for me.

 

 

 

Our New House!!

This is a picture of our living room, looking into the kitchen/dining room. We had dinner in our new house and bought a couple things for it. I can't wait to start moving stuff in tomorrow!

My birthday!

I had such a nice birthday yesterday! My friend Sarah came over and made me brunch, which we ate on the boxes that are now taking over my living room. Then my friend Kelli made me dinner and a cake and we played games, it was so fun. Chris did give me a couple cute gifts, of course my big present comes on Monday when we settle on the house!

Old House, New House

My sister has been bugging me for awhile to take a picture of the house we're buying (in two and a half weeks!) so I figured I would also take a picture of where we live now and post them both so that everyone interested can take a look. The pink building is our current apartment, the door is hidden behind the hideous wisteria bush that my aunt is attached to. Don't be fooled if you think it looks bigger than a one bedroom apartment, the garage is the bottom half. I know you can only see a little bit of our new house because of the trees, but trust me when I say it is a HUGE improvement!

My first blog!

Alright, so many of my friends have created family blogs, I've broken down and decided to do the same. Not that I think our life is all that interesting, but it seems like a really easy way to update all our friends and family who live far away. So, this week Chris has been really busy at work having all the board of directors in town for a big meeting. He's been going in early and getting in late, so I haven't seen very much of him. Mostly I've been taking care of all the paperwork for our loan application. It's down to four and a half weeks until we settle on our house! I haven't really started packing yet, but I've been thinking about it a lot! I could go on and on, but I'll leave it at that for now. I don't want to bore everyone too much right away!
