We are in!!

We are in the house and have gotten tons accomplished already. I would say about 80% of the boxes that are not Christmas/storage boxes are empty. The giant mural has been primed and painted over. The new futon put together. Lights replaced, a ceiling fan hung, my new washer and dryer delivered. The waterfall feature fixed, new shower heads. The list goes on. Oh and the yard...we mowed the mountain, trimmed the forest and did more edging than one could imagine possible in one yard.

A few really great things - love the house. LOVE our friends - who literally came out in droves. I think at one point there were 12 people helping. Awesome. LOVE my bro and his wife who gave up part of their long weekend to help with the giant list of "to dos" above.

Less than great - as excited as I am about the new place it was hard to leave the old. Sure sometimes my neighbors/parents made me nuts but most of the time it was great having them next door. My parents and I are friends and though its just a few minutes drive to the new place it won't be the same and that was a little sad. Oh and the AC broke...new unit comes Saturday. The repair men asked us how long we had been there and we literally had to say 24 hours...so that sucks. But we have learned an important lesson - home warranties are priceless on newly purchased homes.

So pictures will come later in the week...for now I have no internet on anything but this little comp and I cannot edit pics here so I will post some very soon...internet is supposed to get hooked up tomorrow!
