All moved in

We are still far from being "settled in" but we are "moved in".
We started the moving last week by moving over little things. My dad brought up a Uhaul on Friday with a bedroom set for one of the spare bedrooms. Scott was able to take half a day off (and since he goes in at 5 am, his half day ended at 11!). Scott, Dad, and my Uncle Lee (and of course Kadyn!) were able to get all the furniture moved into the house before i even got off work at 1:30! Kyle and Jaime came up Friday evening and got their hands dirty as well, helping to get things put away. I did not realize we had sooo much stuff! How in the world did it all fit in our 1 bedroom apartment?!?!?
Scott, Me, mom, Dad, and Kadyn all stayed at the house for the first time Friday night. At that point, Scott and I still found it hard to believe that we were sleeping in OUR house. So cool! We worked HARD all weekend getting things done....putting away boxes, unpacking boxes, organizing the bedrooms, trying to put things in the "perfect" spot, etc, etc, etc! We got the master bedroom and bathroom painted but haven't even thought about the 3 guest bedrooms yet. Kadyn LOVED painting and did such a great job! We know one of the bedrooms will be Scott's "man cave". I found some really cute decorations at Hobby Lobby for his cave...we're going with the hunting and fishing theme. One of the bedrooms is completely done, with bed and everything (Kadyn calls this room his! lol). The 3rd guest bedroom is still full of boxes and stuff that i don't know where to put yet. It will get put away at some point. My goal is to continue working on the house every chance I get. It's going to be a long slow process, but I am ok with that! It will keep me busy!!!!
We were also able to work in the yard over the weekend. My grandpa was gracious enough to donate some funds to help us buy some household utensils (broom, weed eater, water hose, and much more! Dad picked it all out for us!) Kadyn and Scott got out in the backyard and cleaned up some of the overgrown palm trees. I tell you, Kadyn worked his little rear end off ALLLLL weekend! He had a BLAST!
We were able to meet 3 of our neighbors. One of the neighbors is a police-man. Great to have one of those around! We also met a very nice couple who came over and brought cookies. How sweet was that? They already invited us over to hang out! (They have a grandson Kadyn's age so also invited him to come play when he is in town!) I know we have been very blessed to have such wonderful neighbors. That was one things I really prayed hard for!
My mom has posted some of the pictures on facebook and a video of the "walk-through" of the house. So if you have facebook, check it out. I will try to take some pictures of my own very soon and get them posted on here.
We LOVE visitors and entertaining our friends so come on up! We love our house and are so happy we found something so perfect for us!
