~Settling in~

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures to post with this one, but I thought it would be nice to post a quick update. I do promise to get pictures up soon, though. We are moved into our new home, thanks to the help of family and friends over the weekend. Dustin's parents helped us with most of boxes, cleaning the old place, and {partially} installing the garage door opener - it was a huge help to have 2 extra set of hands with this stuff during the day. Then after work on Friday, we had 8 or 9 friends help us move the heavy stuff and tie up the loose ends. THANK YOU DONNY, TREVOR, MEGHANN, KATRINA, ALEX, JOHN, HEIDI, AND AARON!!!! And it was great to see our new neighbors, Stacey and Sarah, too! :) We have unpacked 98% of the boxes and have all of our "essentials" out of the boxes and put away. Now, we just need to find time to personalize and really make it our own. Hopefully we'll get the pictures hung, shelves up, curtains in place, candles burning, etc. soon....not to mention paint on the walls. It's all white, so I am dying to add color. I guess it's not that bad, I just prefer a little color on the walls. And of course, Dustin needs to finish installing the garage door opener so we can fully utilize the garage.

With all that said, I must say this WE LOVE OUR NEW HOME and we both feel so incredibly blessed to be in it. It feels so nice to be home owners and it's absolutely wonderful to come home to our home every night after work. The only thing that would make it better is if I wasn't at work so long every day! :)

We look forward to meeting our neighbors and truly getting settled into our new home in the great neighborhood! Stop by and say hey if you're in the area....or if you're out of the area, we have room!
