The Move

It has been a whirlwind kind of month! Nick and I moved into our first home the end of June and then left for vacation right after the move! But it was a great time and now that vacation is over, I'm beginning to think that summer is almost done! I hate thinking that!


The house was a nervous but exciting time for both of us. There were quite a few complications with closing (due to the seller). But it turned out to be ok in the end and we're glad it's over! Nick's parents came down along with Chad's family (his brother). We were so blessed to have them help us out. The guys did all the moving and the girls stayed at the house to unpack and try to get some what organized. We also had some friends come over to help us through out the day. The guys did several home projects for us which kept them busy. The hot temperature made it difficult to want to do any work, but they were great help and we really appreciate the hard work that was done.

We left for vacation 1 week from the day we moved in. Nick's family left the afternoon before we left and so it almost felt unreal that this was our home. Being back home now, I think every day it'll start to feel more like our home. It's still a mess so we have a lot of work to do. It'll keep us busy for sure! I've included a few of the messy pictures that include our new furniture. I'll post some good ones as the house comes in order.
The guys installed blinds throughout the house.
It made a big difference in the look of the house
and also the temperature inside!

The kitchen

Nick and Chad installed a cat door for Snickers!

Our brand new LG washer and dryer! I love them!

The living room in complete disarray. It now looks much better and includes an area rug...again more pictures to come.
