So I am FINALLY back on to this! I was off for a week, due to moving (as I mentioned earlier) and waiting for our internet to start working out at our new place! Thanks for being patient with me :) So we are totally LOVING our new duplex! It has so much fun settling in here. I painted the walls 2 days after we moved in, which I thinking scared our landlords ;) But seriously, if I am going to be living here for a year, than I want this place feel like home! We had a lot of fun picking out our wall colors, and they turned out AwEsOme!!
So about moving! Honestly, I had NO idea how stressing it was going to be! I defienetly do not want to move for at least 10 more years!! I do want to say a HUGE thankyou to all of my family that came out and helped! I can assure you I would not have any hair left, if it weren't for all
of you guys! I had my three youngest siblings spend four days with me helping me pack, unpack and watch the boys! That was priceless! My parents sure have done a good job with them! I put them to very tough work...there really was no play and ALL work! They put primer on the walls, packed every room, entertained Ayden (which is a full-time job in it's self), made lunch for everyone, cleaned, packed, packed and then packed MORE....then unpacked...unpacked more, organized...ya...they were AMAZING! The funny thing is...They want to come back for another "sleep over". I thought for sure I wore them out to the point of no return :) Anyways, it's was a lot bigger job than I expected, but with the Lord's strength (because mine ran out before I even got started) we got it all completed. My Grandparents were gracious enough to help with the transportation of our belongings. Unfortunately while taking a trailer load of our furniature to our new place, They accidentally hit a larger pot hole and it sent our crib strewn out on the road. But hey, the "distressed" look on furniture is "in"...right? They were awesome (my grandparents), and
there would have been way worse issues if they hadn't helped!
The Landlords just put new carpet in for us, which I was so thankful for, but at the same time it makes me nervous! The carpet guys didn't do the best job, so they are coming back to fix it :/ I just want it done, so I can start decorating! Thanks to Pinterest it's hard to wait patiently when you have thousands of ideas racing through your head!
