I'm back!!

I can't believe it's been a week since I've had internet, and amazing enough I've survived! :) I have been able to get on a couple of times at the in-laws but those times have been quick just to check a couple of things. It's funny because as I checked my Google reader there were 91 blog post to catch up on and I had 31 emails (would have been more but this was something I checked the couple of times I got on). Now finally after almost 2 hours I'm all caught up, well except for my own updates. I'll go ahead and give you the rough draft with hopefully pictures to come this next week.

The craziness started last Monday (18th) with the flooring guys coming and Jeremy and I going to buy appliances. Can I just say you know you're getting older when you get excited about appliances and boy am I really excited about my new washer and dryer!

Tuesday was day 2 on flooring and a surprise with my bestest friend helping me to clean the house. (thank you again!) At the same time my in-laws were at the house painting.

Wednesday was delivery day of the new appliances as well as the furniture we had purchased earlier in the month. oh and more painting! Then that night I had 4 sweet ladies come and help me move clothing and a few other smaller item from the apartment.

Thursday I got a jump start (had really planned on staying in my PJs all day) from a friend letting me know I had her for a couple of hours. I got a couple of boxes together, "packed" my dishes in laundry baskets with blankets and headed over to the house. We unloaded that stuff and then she helped me line a few more shelves and put the puzzle pieces, I mean shelves, up in the closet. It was supposed to rain all day but since it didn't we decided at the last minute to go ahead and move some more stuff from the apartment. That night, with the help of some really great friends, Jeremy moved our mattresses, living room furniture, kitchen table, and the BEAST aka the computer desk. This was our first night of sleeping in the house.

Friday was nice because I was able to just get up and start getting things done without having to get the girls together. I spent the day getting some more things in their places, taping the walls so that Jeremy could paint, and getting the girls together to go to my moms. I took them over there about 5:30 and then Jeremy and I met in Rivergate for dinner. We had every intention of going to the apartment afterward to get a few more things but honestly at this point my body just stopped so we went home and vegged out instead.

Saturday Jeremy, his dad, and brother went and got the last bit of furniture and stuff from the apartment before starting more painting. His mom came over about 9 (my aunt came over about 2) and we began moving boxes in the house from the garage and unpacking them. I can truly say I'm amazed at all that got done this weekend. By 6pm my kitchen was together, the playroom was organized, the girls' room and bathroom together, as well as the master bedroom and bath. Jeremy finally hooked up my washer and dryer about this time and I don't think the laundry has stopped yet!

Sunday we went to church and then Jeremy went home and I ran a couple of errands before my mom brought the girls back. While she was here we realized our DVD/VHS player that we bought in October quit working which was a total disappointment since cable hadn't been hooked up yet.

Monday was Gracie's birthday celebrated by more cleaning, a trip to Wal-Mart, eating out with Ninnie and Pop and then to there house for cake, ice cream, and presents. Tuesday was Jeremy's birthday (he's 30 now) celebrated by him working, us going to Target, having our first cooked meal in "the new house", taking the DVD/VHS player back to H H Gregg, a trip to Lowes for mini-blinds and then home to hang the mini-blinds. (yes I know, I really know how to throw a great party). Wednesday was fun because it snowed and the girls got to experience their first real (or atleast real for TN) snow! Gracie really liked it and even made a snow angel but not so much for Carleigh. We didn't stay out long but it was fun while we were out there.

As for today, I had a doctors appointment and then we drove around downtown looking for daddy. I sent him a text seeing where he was and then drove by but the girls couldn't see him :( Once we got home the Comcast guy came and hooked up our cable, internet, and phone. It sure is nice being connected again. And then last but certainly not least I went and settled everything with the apartment so we are officially DONE!!

Whew I know that was long, and thank you if you've stuck to the end with me. Like I said I'm going to try and post some pictures in the next few days, especially before and after house pictures. Until then...Good night!
