Moving Day

Saturday started off at the park for the walk marathon to raise money for the pregnancy center. It was a beautiful day to walk 2 miles in. I won a artificial flower arrangement as a door prize that I am going to give to the church.

Then the moving day began! It was actually the easiest day I have had since we closed on our house because my pastor wouldn't let me carry hardly anything. It really didn't take long, I think because Brian and I already had so much moved. Everything went smoothly. Here are a few pictures of the big day.
Our awesome pastor and youth pastor.
Brian's face is HILARIOUS if you zoom in. Poor Brian, he has a wife that won't stop taking pictures for anything, hehe!
Some of our stuff on the back of the Steve's trailer.

So we are pretty much moved in we just have a few odd things we need to load up in my liberty and that will be that. It is so exciting and it really does feel like home. We are just so pleased with how everything is turning out, happy about being in such a nice neighborhood, and we just.... what's the word....happy!

Our counter top guy came over that evening to see how everything was fitting, he is not finished yet but working hard. When he put the first piece on, I giggled with joy. It looks soooo pretty!
Then, he told us that we had a lot of material left over, 70 inches, he wasn't sure how that happened but hoped we could use it somewhere. I jumped for joy because our bathroom counter top is 48 inches. I really wanted to redo the bathroom too, but since we were doing the kitchen I didn't think we would have the funds to do it. The tops in the bathroom have cigarette burns on them and the vanity is just really gross. Our contractor said we had a little left over money that we could go ahead and get a cabinet, most likely but probably not enough for a counter top. So when Jon told us that I was very, very, very excited! It will be like getting part of a new bathroom built into our loan when we weren't even planning on it, and the cost won't change too much. Yipee! Before he left I told him he made me a very happy woman:)

I am a little bummed not having a full kitchen yet. As a woman, I want to cook, I want a good meal rather than fast food, I am sad to not be running to the grocery for the weekly deals and stocking up my fridge, not having something cold to drink on demand. I didn't realize how convenient a fridge and stove was. This part of a new house is hard. But, I know it won't be this way long and that it will totally be worth it once it is finished. I just hope it doesn't take too much longer.

Now it is time to get to work on unpacking!
