House Update!
Ok, if anyone actually reads this thing…then I’m sure you’re wanting an update on the house and whatnot. To start with…Thanksgiving was fantastic.
Some Thanksgiving Highlights…
-Getting to Emden in time for homemade pizza with mom on Wednesday night.
-Watching Jared run the Turkey Trot (a 5k race) early Thanksgiving morning (even though I thought I was going to freeze to death!)
-Seeing Da Michael’s (good friends of ours from old school Vale days).
-Thanksgiving lunch at Grandma Cox’s house….yummmmmm.
-Thanksgiving dinner at Kristina’s….yummmmm.
-Getting to hang out with the Shandley’s (who we haven’t seen in like 8 months!)
-Taking mom to IKEA on Friday…and buying things for the new house at IKEA.
-Sleeping in on Saturday (much needed!)
-Gas for under $2.00
Now…some updates on the moving process….
-Steven and Norma staying over with us on Saturday night (and eating at Lottawatta Creek).
-Got the keys and garage door opener Saturday evening.
-Cleaned the house all Sunday and moved some boxes over.
-Mom, Dad and Greg all came Monday morning.
-Jared and I took a half-day at work to help finish up the packing.
-We moved EVERYTHING that was left on Monday….which was a lot of stuff.
-Got most everything in the kitchen put away and the living room looks somewhat uncluttered now.
-Went to Vandalia for a Pizza Hut break with the family.
-Greg had to go home, but mom and dad stayed overnight in the guest house (aka…the apartment with sleeping bags!).
-While we were at work on Tuesday, mom and dad cleaned up the apartment and did a few other little things around the house. (We helped out over lunch and when we got home from work.)
That brings us to now….getting settled, but still a large amount of stuff to unpack and find new homes for. I think I’m going to put up our Christmas tree tonight for a change in pace (I’m hoping it helps motivate me to get the rest of our stuff put away.) Once the weekend gets here again…I’m guessing we’ll be able to finish up a lot of the unpacking (fingers crossed at least!). We’ll get some pictures posted once we get a chance.
