So the internet is hooked up. We are in the new house. It is insane!!
I promise to post more detail and pictures soon, but here is the short version:
-Closing day came, got the keys
-Started working on the house
-Amazing friends watched my kids
-Lacy had a mild breakdown ;)
-Mom flew into town a day later to help for 10 days
-Mom saved my hide!
-Painted, scraped wallpaper, painted, scrubbed 30 years of grease and grime off cabinets, painted more, ordered and installed blinds, ordered carpet, finished painting, carpet installed and old man smell went away almost 100%
-We moved in yesterday morning. 10 foot van was WAAAAYYYYYY too small.
-Boxes, boxes everywhere. Takes an hour to find something
We are really tired and this house business is a load of work, especially fixing things up, but it has been worth it to see end results. We have such great friends out here. Not even kidding.
I will post more soon! LOVE TO ALL.

Can't wait to see some pictures of this new house! Let me know if I can do anything to help.
How exciting! You need to post some before and after pictures!
Holy cow a 10 foot van? We used a 25 foot van, and had to do a load in 2 cars. (a little embarrassing that we have that much crap). Hey, you guys have done so much, it looks wonderful! Call me if you want me to watch the kiddos!
You have been a busy girl! Isn't is amazing how much just a little fresh paint and TLC can do? Love it. Congratulations!!
