Moved!

Well, the move is complete! And we are exhausted! I spent Monday and Tuesday at the new house while a parade of worker guys came through. We had: shower refinishers, fence builder, carpet cleaner, furniture delivery, washer/dryer delivery, internet installer, and plumber. Almost everything went smoothly. The plumbing is a bit of a fiasco. We finally have all new, working, toilets! But, one shower still needs to have the hardware installed, so we're down to 1! While all the guys tromped in and out, I cleaned like a demon (which was quickly all destroyed on move in day!) and unpacked things (poorly). I also painted the front and side doors. We took load after load over to the new place.

Still, yesterday, the Official Move Day, it took the movers 4 hours to get us in with all the big stuff! But, we are in! Mimi was a HUGE help and stayed at the house all day with Flip to deal with the plumbers hanging about. And Grandma and Grandpa came in with their truck and worked their butts off! It is convenient since we are now all grandparents on deck for Wm's birthday today!! HE'S TWELVE!!! But, he's also at school, so he's kind of bummed. But we gave him a few little gifts this morning and will have a family celebration this evening. And, tomorrow he has a school dance! Then, this summer, he plans a pool party with all his friends to celebrate.

Expect lots of Before/After shots coming down the pike as I get things situated. For now, here are a few things...

The moving crew! Door behind Mimi is now turquoise!

Wm's big bday present being enjoyed by all creatures.

Coolest old timey fan in the den. LOVE IT.

Flip is the tiredest dog alive. Not only was the move a big deal, but his dog sitter took him to the park for HOURS. There was one dog who enjoyed the king sized bed last night! He has also been busily rubbing his essence all over the new pillows/furniture:

The cats are actually taking things better than expected. Schroeder, surprisingly, being the braver of the two! Hopefully they like their new digs!

I am back at work today after being home for the last 3 days. But, Steve is off. I kind of like being at work while Steve is home getting things done. This is nice. I could get used to this. I need a househusband.
