Unpacking

We got everything unloaded and moved into the house on Monday after filling out all the paper work to make this place ours. Everything you see (of the house) in this picture is ours!

It was raining Monday afternoon so we got everything in as fast as we could. We even had unexpected help from our new neighbor, an 11 year old girl named Rachel. She climbed into our truck, grabbed some stuff and took it into our house. We were a bit surprised.

We've been doing our best to get unpacked while taking lots and lots of little trips to various stores to purchase the myriad things we need for the house. It turns out that this house doesn't have overhead lighting in the bedrooms or living room, so we had to buy lamps among other things. We also got the girls new Disney princess and Tinkerbell bedding. Then we got curtains for all the rooms. We bought and hung our first ever living room drapes!

Wayne and Daniel were amazing. They hung curtain rods, carried the washer and dryer down to the basement, assembled furniture, all in record time! It was really great having Wayne and Nancy here all week. Daniel and I would leave for a couple of hours to buy more house stuff and when we returned a whole room would be put together. Nancy pretty much single handedly unpacked the kitchen and the girls' room! They just made the whole moving process easier and less stressful. Thanks, guys!
