WHEW--what a week!
(I had planned to add pictures but blogger is not cooperating. I will add them when able.)
It has been a crazy week to say the least--but a great week! Monday, we moved into our new house, and we love it!!! Things actually went pretty well. We went for our closing Monday morning, which took about two hours, and then the movers showed up to our apartment around 12 and moved all of our things. Movers may cost a lot, but it was well worth the money. I was able to do some things, like seal the grout, while they were working so it worked out really well. And most of our things made it in the house safely, so that was great. Then Monday night, we had some AWESOME help from some friends from church. They assembled our entire dining room table and chairs and then unpacked all the kitchen boxes and also carried in clothes. Thank you so much Susan, Whitney, Lisa and Andrea. You guys are lifesavers!
I went back to work Tuesday and Wednesday but Jason had the week off so did lots around the house. He had to deal with many phone calls but we think everything is about straightened out. There are just lots of little things to deal with when buying a new house but nothing major. He also got things all tidy for my family's arrival, which was so very helpful. He is a wonderful husband!
My family arrived on Wednesday early evening soon after I came home from work. My mom was so worried that it would stress me out, but we had a wonderful time. We ran and got some dinner and did a little shopping Wednesday night, and we did a little Thanksgiving cooking. It was so good to see them!
Thursday was a wonderful day. We didn't have to get up too early but started cooking around 9 am. We spent a good deal of the morning in the kitchen and ate our Thanksgiving meal around 3. It was very yummy and we just enjoyed each others' company (with the football game in the background). Watching the game was fun also. My dad was rooting for the Cowboys, but Jason and I were cheering for the Broncos. It was lots of fun when we won in overtime, but Dad took it pretty well. That evening we put up our Christmas tree while we watched Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving. It was a great day!
Friday we slept in and took it easy most of the morning. Jason had to work, and Mom, Dad, Josh and I went to clean the apartment. It was so disgusting--I can't believe we lived in that filth! But we got it cleaned up and now have one less thing to worry about. We are planning to turn in our keys tomorrow--it is nice to be out of there!
Friday night was lots of fun. We went ice skating at the outdoor ice rink in Cherry Creek and then went to the lighting of the City and County building. We squeezed in a Starbuck's visit, which is so fun around Christmastime. We had a great time!
My family left this morning, and we have been working ever since. Jason spent most of the day installing the garage door opener, and I have been cleaning and unpacking. I feel like I have done 100 loads of laundry and run the dishwasher 100 times! We are having fun meeting our neighbors, and everyone we have met seems so great! It is exciting and lots of fun that everyone is moving in around the same time.
We feel so blessed to have so many wonderful gifts in our lives. Thank you to everyone for all of your help and love. God is so good!
