First Week in our New Home

We started the process of moving last week, brining over boxes, painting, etc. Then Saturday was the official moving day. We had help of several friends and family members and we are beyond grateful for their help. We couldn't have done it without them, and it got done really quickly with all the helping hands. 

Homeownership started with a bang with several omg moments on move in day. Starting when the fridge delivery guy announced he could not hook up the fridge (even though it was in the exact same spot as the previous owners) oh and that the valve to hook it up was leaking. All the guys quickly realized we just needed a replacement part and headed to the closest Home Depot. Add on two more trips and a small kitchen flood and we were in business. Yes you read that right on their way to Home Depot once again the guys said they would turn the water back on for us and all the sudden water began shooting all over the kitchen. They instantly realized their mistake and turned the water back off. After using almost all the towels in the house to clean up the mess, it was just a funny story about moving day we all have laughed about.

Somewhere in all the excitement one of our new sweet neighbors brought over homemade cookies and that's when we just thought wow we moved to a good spot. Over the next two days we moved furniture around and unpacked as many boxes as we could before it was time to go back to work on Monday. Since then progress has been slow but it has been happy. We are so thrilled with our new home and have loved every day here since we moved in. We have met several of our other neighbors and they are all great, we are in love with the neighborhood to say the least.

A large majority of our home may still be in boxes but we still wanted to get our Christmas tree up so we could enjoy it so we did just that. We kept it simple with just the tree, stockings and a little greenery but it instantly livened up the house and made it so cheerful.

We are trying to take everything one step at a time with the house since it is so easy to get overwhelmed and there is so much we want to accomplish. We have already started our list of projects on top of the whole unpacking thing but that is all a part of the journey. I cant wait to share more with you all as it happens.
