moving in

Hello all, it's been a while, but we've been a little busy.

I chose to make this a more visual post as the pictures tell the story better that I. We finally got our stuff and as is typical for the military (at least for medical), the notice came about a day ahead so I didn't have time to book off patients, so L had to deal with the movers all by her lonesome. It's ok though, she is pretty self-sufficient and they were done unloading by around 2pm. This is how it started ...

Day 1

Day 3

L and I have a standing rule that in a move, everything get's done in 2 weeks!! That way you can get on with living. So far we have made it and this was no exception. We really got to work. L during the day (mostly, she'll say she helped at night too, and I won't argue ... here), and me at night. The girls helped some too and we got things moving along pretty well. 

We finished this past Monday (exactly 13 days) and here's how it looks. Some before and afters follow of everybody's rooms. There is still some organizing to do, but all in all, it's done.

At the end we had a little time for some backyard BBQ (Penny get's here share every time) and a little fun. Our normal Traditional Move-In Celebration is a full Turkey dinner with all the spread. It just didn't seem to go this year, so we had a little family party ... movies, Ice cream (several flavors), those 'New Year's Eve' junk food snacks from the freezer section, chips and dip, and of course some board games and the 'Wii' (I picked up the new Mario Kart game, it is a total blast). Everyone had a a good time and enjoyed the new surroundings. You will too.

We're ready now, make your reservations!!!

C' Ya!
