Weekend Update...

WE ARE IN!!! Sorry for the delay in posting, we were without internet access all weekend. We are up and running now so I should be able to post some photos tonight. What a crazy couple of days we had.

On Thursday night, we found out that the buyers (of our old house) paperwork was not ready and we would probably not be able to close on Friday. With movers scheduled to arrive Friday morning, that was the last thing we wanted to hear. Well, miraculously, everything ended up coming together and we were able to close on time. I went to the closing while Jim supervised the movers. By Friday night, we were all moved in (all the furniture fit-yay!) and were browsing Ikea for more furniture:)

After 3 days of unpacking, we have made a considerable amount of progress. The living room, den, and guest room are pretty much all set up. The dining room and master are both set up but need boxes, etc moved out. The studio and office are our last 2 major unpacking areas. We made more trips to Home Depot and Bed, Bath and Beyond this weekend than I care to mention. I LOVE this house. Here are a few of my favorite things so far....

1. Having more kitchen cupboards than I am able to fill.
2. Laundry off the master bedroom. I am so thankful to whoever thought of this.
3. Having a fireplace
4. Having a downstairs closet to put cleaning stuff/vacuums/paper towels in (it's the little things :) )
5. The PEACE & QUIET. No cars speeding by the house at 1am, sirens, lawn mowers, etc. Just chirping birds.
6. The new KING sized bed!

Pictures are forthcoming tonight.... stay tuned!
