All Moved In!

So we're all moved into the house, and it's perfect! So for a few moving day stories.

I had to work the morning of moving day (plus I'm still not allowed to lift anything over 10 pounds due to my surgery), so I did my part by packing absolutely everything up before people came to move us. Not to mention, Andrew and I made took two carloads of boxes and things over nearly every day for the 10 days we had the keys before we moved. There was only a small stack of boxes left in the dining room when people came to load up the uhaul. Otherwise, just furniture! I was so proud. =) They still ended up having to make two trips with the uhaul since Andrew and I had more furniture than the average apartment. The bowflex and the elliptical machine will get ya. But the job got done and by 1:30 in the afternoon, everything was unloaded, in place, and we were eating pizza. Yumm! By sunday night, most everything was unpacked. I just have a few boxes that I've been lazy about cause they're full of pictures and things that I'm just not sure where to put them yet.

All the red paint is gone. =) We painted the office and the kitchen cupboards before we moved in. That was quite an adventure as well. Had to sand them down, put two coats of primer, then two coats of paint. But again... job done, and it's beautiful! We picked perfect colors. The kitchen actually doesn't feel so small anymore.

The scariest part of moving day was when I almost dropped Squire out the second story window. Ooops? See, he likes windows. Andrew and I were moving things around in our bedroom and I was like "Hey Squire, sit up here on the window sill. You'll like it." So, I sit him up there and the bottom of the screen pops out when he leans on it. Omg. So scary. I grabbed him and my heart was just pounding. Can you imagine!? Not to mention, the air conditioning unit sits right below our window. Poor guy woulda had broken bones. =\ But he is safe. And Andrew spent the next 20 minutes pounding on the window with a hammer so that the screen would fit better in place. No falling kitties, please.

So there's this church 5 minutes from our new house that we thought looked neat. Turns out, our friends Gary and Audrey go there. So we decided we wanted to check it out. See, it's been quite a long time since Andrew and I have been consistant about any aspect of church-going or God-following. Like, two years long. So I decided that with moving, it was going to be a time of new beginnings. So, I wanted to go. Turns out, my brother wanted to go too! He, on the other hand, has been more like 12-15 years out of the loop. So needless to say, I was super excited. =D Adam, Becca, Andrew and I have been growing extremely close over the past two years, so to think we could be even closer by being church friends together and with Gary and Audrey is just unbelievable. It's been SO long since I've had any kind of community and any kind of direction. Two years with God on the back burner is a long time. But, I think this new church will be a good kickstart again. Needless to say, I loved the place. It was so comfortable! And you get to drink coffee in church. =) Hehe. The message was great, and I have no doubt it will continue to be that way. Hopefully this will all help me get back on track.

Anyway, pictures coming soon to facebook. Before pictures this week, after pictures maybe next week. =D
