Oh, a moment to write on the blog... The movers arrived at 6:45 am on Monday morning and we were ready to jump right in! By noon, more than half of the truck was unloaded and our new home looked more like a storage unit than a "home". The movers had to rent a penske truck to actually "shuttle" our furniture from the bottom of our driveway to the top so that added an interesting little twist to it all! By 5pm - the movers were done and gone! So, then the fun really started! Erik came home from work around noon and we were able to start unpacking while the movers placed the rest of teh stuff where it went. So, by the end of Monday, the kitchen was almost done, the master bedrrom was mostly done and Sophia's room was complete! day one - Done!!!
Then it was on to Tuesday, the third party folks showed up to uncrate and set up the Grandfather clock, televsions, washer/dryer and a few large pictures. While they were working on that, I finished the kitchen, dining room and unpacking Cooper's bedroom. I then took a shopping break to purchase a few items for the girls' rooms. I am loving the shopping around here!!!
Wednesday - I worked on the guest room, the master bedroom and finished decorating Cooper's room. Erik started building the girl's new play house outside for their big surprise when they return from their grandparent's house!
Thursday - On Thursday, I tried to clean most of the areas in the home and started on the bathrooms - trying to organize everything in this house has certainly been an interesting task! But one I am determined to tackle!!! Erik left work at noon and continued building the house for the girls. He finished all but the door and front porch and we decided to clean up and go have dinner. Of course, we went to Lowe's for what felt like the 100th time since we have moved here for a few more items for the play house and then to dinner at Outback. We were expecting our first guests Thursday night - the McPhauls. Yep - couldn't go long without seeing them!!! Of course, they arrived on their own schedule - at 3AM!!!! LOL!!! We visited for a moment before tucking ourselves in for another 4 hours of sleep!
Friday - It wouldn't be NC if you didn't go to Krispy Kreme for HOT donuts! So, Erik and Hoyt were out this morning bright and early! We all enjoyed in the great breakfast food of NC! Erik and John worked on the play house alittle more before they took the boys on a hike through the woods to the tree house - of course, they were much more excited about that than the play house! BOYS!!! :-) So, they hit the road around 11 am heading to Franklin, NC. Erik and I began working again on our tasks! He finished the playhouse around 2:30 pm and I went out to run errands for our cook out that evening with Erik's family and to get some balloons for the house! Erik's parents arrived around 5pm with the girls and they were so excited about everything!!! They absolutely loved the playhouse!
We grilled burgers and hot dogs and celebrated an early 4th of July wih Aunt Deby and FarMor and FarFar. We all had a great time! and even burned a few sparklers before the end of the night!
So, until next time!
:-) Heather
