Today

We finally got the ok to move last Thursday.  I was thinking we were going to be delayed another week so we unpacked a few things and got a little lazy about packing up the kitchen and some other random things. Once we got the ok, it was a whirlwind.  Gram was coming up Friday afternoon so I knew the kids would be covered on moving day, but we planned on painting the kids rooms before we moved in, we needed to clean and hang some hardware for curtains and blinds.  We didn't get the keys until Friday morning.  Luckily we have some amazing family and friends who stepped up and helped us get it done.  Poor Corrie painted 2 rooms by herself.  3 colors and 9hrs later, they look amazing!
We signed papers at 9am Friday, got the keys at 11:30, worked until 10pm and didn't get to bed until after midnight. A long day is an understatement!  We barely slept, but were wired Saturday morning.  We were organized and ready, we had a great group of guys, but we needed a bigger truck.  We ended up making 2 trips. We were all exhausted, but we were home.
Jon was off Friday through today.  We busted through a lot of the boxes so we could just relax today.  We went out for breakfast, did some exploring and are enjoying the house. It feels so good to have more space, fewer boxes and multiple bathrooms!  Life is good.
