We Made It!

We are all moved into our house. It feels very weird and fun all at the same time.

I'm not on my own computer so I can't show you pictures.... don't even get me started on why we don't have internet yet. It was scheduled to be set up on Friday... and well... long story short... the previous owner has not disconnected her phone yet so they won't hook us up with internet. Grrrrrr! They didn't get the happy sweet Lynn when they called to tell me this... Just hook it up!!! Can't you just pull the plug and put our stuff in... we own the home now?!!? No!! Anyway... hopefully it will be hooked up tomorrow before 10 or I can't work. Which is a bitter sweet. I would love to have another day off... but I would also like a pay check because my mind is just a rolling with all the things I want to do to this house!!! : )

I'll highlight on a few things from the move. Friday morning we left at 5 from Jesse's parents house to go to our apartment and load up all our stuff. We were loaded by 2:30 and stuffed ourselves at Applebees!!! Saturday morning we left Jesse's parents house at 8 and headed to OUR house! : ) We had the trailer unloaded by 11!!! I think we set a record time for unload, and we even had way more stuff!!!

Thursday we went to the house to clean it. Let's stop here and talk about cleaning for a brief moment. Gross!!!!! I am so not cut out to be a cleaning lady! I tried it once... my first job was working at the local hotel as a cleaning lady... I lasted a week! Seriously! And now I just confirmed to myself why!! I get totally grossed out cleaning up after people I don't know. Gives me the shivers! OH!!!!! Guess what we found!!!!! Someone left us a present!!!!!! Not a good one!!!!! I'll give you a few hints... it was left in the bathroom.... in the toilet!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO DOES THIS?!?!!??!?!?!!! I'm not even lying!!! I was afraid of the bathroom, because I have this cleaning up after people grossness thing... so it was Jesse's job. I am so glad that I have this cleaning up after people grossness thing... because if I would of found this... pretty sure we would be selling the house and we would have to move! **shudder**

Enough about cleaning... how about our new neighbors! I love them!!!! When we were there on Thursday we met our neighbors to the right and our neighbors to the left. The neighbors diagonally across the road! They were all so special! I loved them instantly! Most of them are all retirement age and they sound like party animals. They told Jesse if he didn't drink beer he was in the wrong neighborhood... well it just so happens that Jesse can enjoy a beer now and then! ; )

On Saturday while we were moving in the neighbor across the road brought over a cake!!!!! I always wanted a neighbor to do that! It was so good!!! It was fresh out of the oven and warm when she brought it over! That is pretty much all Jesse and I eat as we don't have a oven or fridge until Tuesday! Oh and my Mom left a lot of cookies and chips for us too! But we are working extra hard at unpacking that these snacks are not going to our hips!!! : )

Then last night a neighbor came over with 2 big ripe yummy tomatoes!!! I think we are due for some BLTs in our future!!! Yum! When is my oven coming??? : )

While we were taking our lunch break on Saturday we had a lady driving by yell out her window "Welcome to the neighborhood homeowners!!" We also had some one say, "It is so nice to see some movement and action at this house!"

These neighbors are just special, warm and friendly. They don't hesitate to come over and introduce themselves! They tell us if we need anything to not hesitate to ask!! OH!! And the one lady neighbor (who brought us the cake) told us that they have this lawn mowing thing... They all mow their lawns at the same time and then they take beer breaks! Some times the beer breaks go a little long and they have to finish mowing the next day. We laughed so hard and felt like we would fit right in. : )

I have to run, but as soon as our internet is hooked up I'll be sure to posts some pictures. Oh, and my camera batteries died after I packed up the charger and extra batteries!!! Not good timing. My mom did take pictures for me - so I'll get those and post them too!

Later! : )

I am so jealous you have nice neighbors - we have lived in 3 neighborhoods and NEVER has anyone baked us a cake! You are blessed and you deserve it - sounds like an awesome place and I can't wait to see pictures. Oh, and I'm totally with you on the cleaning thing...I told Ryan we are hiring professionals next time - Ew!!
