So, no pictures today. I just wanted to send a little update since I am taking a quick break from unpacking and Tim came home to make dinner. We had a great Christmas at Maren & Andrew's. If you would like to see pics and find out what we did, link to the East Coast Bosley's blog to the right of the screen. Christmas Eve was so fun filled with food, music, and entertainment. Christmas day was full of opening presents, more food, and just all around family time - just the way it should be. My parents came back on Christmas day with us for the rest of their vacation. Not much of a vacation for them. We went to Old Salem to show them around and try to do something fun to keep me from going crazy with all the moving stress. Then on the 27th some great men from our ward came over to load our truck with all of our goods from our apartment. We went over to the house to do our final walk through, went to the bank to get a nice big check to give away, went to our closing, came home, got the kids and grandma and grandpa, got dinner, and came to the house where more great men from the ward came to help unload that night. Went to bed and never slept better. The next morning Tim left with another set of great men from the ward to get everything from the mini-storage. I got up and got the kids ready to take my parents to the airport. Came back in time to take the truck back to U-haul and on the way it started raining and didn't stop until the next morning. We are counting our blessings that the weather was so cooperative for us. It has been a mad rush ever since to unpack and find everything. Our New Year's Eve party consisted of my running to Target and Walmart to get a few things for the house and some party food for dinner. (FYI, there isn't much on the shelves at 7pm on New Year's Eve.) I got back at about 8pm just in time to see the cable guy leave and threw our sad party food in the oven. Alexa was the only one that lasted until midnight with us. We played a game and watched "New Year's Rockin' Eve". Then at midnight we ran outside after realizing that we are the only ones that really live on our street right now. Tim still yelled and carried on just to embarrass Alexa (which worked well.) New Year's Day was more of the same - UNPACKING. It seems like we will never be done. But everyday does show a little more progress. As soon as we can we'll post some pictures. I know how boring it can be just to see a dumb old post and no pictures.
