ALL MOVED IN!!!!

First I'd like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to my parent's. Without them none of this would have been possible. We TRULY appreciate their willingness to share their home with us over the last 6 months. For the most part I think it went pretty well! I'm sure they'll enjoy their quiet home once again though :)

Well, it's been a long time coming. But we're finally in our new house & settling in quickly! We LOVE it!!!! I keep waiting for someone to pinch me! It's definitely "home". Copper is just as happy as the rest of us too.....probably due to the fact he's got a nice warm insulated garage to sleep in.

We had our walk-through on Thursday (same day appliances were delivered) & got the "go-ahead" to move in. We didn't waste any time. We were able to get most of the stuff from my parent's that night & than Friday morning with the help of Janet & my dad (thank you thank you) we got the trailer un-loaded (trying to beat the rain). We got the rest of the heavy stuff out that night & Saturday morning thanks to Mark & our friend Brandon.

We slept here Friday night. The boys had no problem sleeping in their new rooms. They're both very happy. I hardly even saw them all day Friday as they kept opening box after box after box after box of their old toys. My basement looked like Toys'R'Us exploded! I think I've finally got that under control a little now. But it wasn't easy! (this picture is AFTER I cleaned up some).
On Saturday we had our gas delivered for our fireplace (sooo cozy) & Dish Network came out & hooked up our TV. We're gonna be so spoiled with this let me tell ya! Almost don't feel like we're in the country anymore with so many channels! haha. Andy's having fun with the DVR.....pausing live tv is pretty cool!
Rob also came & took our storage trailer away! YAY!!!!!On Sunday Andy was able to get the garage organized so both our trucks could fit snugly.

We only had a couple things damaged by mice, but not too bad. It was the stow-away who tried calling this home that annoyed me even worse. But after last night his dream has ended. Thank goodness!

Well, time for me to get back to work. I can't rest completely until EVERYTHING is put away. For someone who doesn't cook much I sure do have a ton of things to put away in my kitchen! So many cupboards so many drawers!!!! I'm slowly starting to see my counter again though.
Poor Gino when I was moving everything around he asked me where something was & I told him in his room, than he goes "where my room go?" It was pretty funny. He must've thought I moved that too :)

I am still planning on doing an open-house hopefully by the 22nd. But I will keep you updated on that for sure!!! Thank you for following along on our journey. I don't know what I will find to write about now!
