We're all in!

Well we're all moved in! We've been unpacking all week and thus all the usual things I normally do have been pushed to the side such as blogging, calling people, responding to email. When you can't walk through your bathroom or find your socks, you realize how high a priority that really is. Anyways...moving went so well. Our friends our amazing. Several friends, in shifts, helped us move on Saturday. They were so kind and had amazing attitudes to come take part of the Saturdays to move boxes and lift heavy things with us. I didn't particularly enjoy it and it was my stuff! We were shown lots of servant love by them, so thank you!!

We spent our first night in the house on our mattress on the floor because we left some key part to the bed at the apartment. That's what good memories are made of though - forgetfulness and making do! We woke up early the next morning to the realization that we also had left all shampoo, hairdryers, soap and anything else needed to get ready at the apartment. So we just went over to the apartment in our PJ's and got ready there.

That afternoon, some more of our sweet friends helped us clean our apartment. That's right, I said clean! They took their entire Sunday afternoon - a time I treasure for myself as nap and chill time - and helped us clean our entire apartment. It took us a couple hours and two car loads of stuff. We realized at the end of it that we really could not have done it in time without them and wouldn't have had enough room in our one car. I was again overwhelmed by their servants' hearts and desire to help. Wow....we are blessed.

Here are some pics of the house before we moved all our stuff in it. I'll show pictures later when we've set things up.

Yay! We're home owners!

When you first walk in, you see this. Entry way and stairs.


Then you walk a bit and come to the living room. Currently empty but being filled up soon.


And here we come to one of my favorite rooms...the kitchen :)

This is the first thing (soon followed by rock band of course!) that Ben did after we closed on the house.

Next comes decisions on paint and decorations...the fun part!!
