Moving In!

We finally have internet at our house! Yay!

So it's been a very busy few days. On Saturday morning we were in Lewiston because I had to speak at a conference. We got back to Spokane around 2:00 and met mom at the house. She had our new washer and dryer that we bought from our friends Brodie and Tana. I am doing my first load of laundry right now! I never knew I would be so excited about laundry.

We then spent the evening packing up the house. We have so much stuff! Sunday morning Bryce's friend's Jesse, Sam and Tracy and cousin Erik joined us at 9:30 to help us move out of the old place and into the new!

Here are Bryce and Jesse moving the little mattress into the u-haul.
Here is our living room on the sidewalk. Behind it all is the little du-plex we moved out of. It was the first house that Bryce and I lived in together and it's also where Bryce proposed. It is so exciting to move into our own home but we had a lot of good times here, we have a lot of memories!

Here is the u-haul, only half full. By the time we were done this was totally full, the Jimmy was full, Tracy's Saturn was full, and mom's truck was full. Jesse's truck hauled the bedroom mirror.

Jesse taking a break in the recliner!

So now the pictures are out of order, but here is my very happy plant in front of the nice window. You can see that he hasn't been so happy at his last house, note the brown parts, but he is doing better already with all this light!

This is Bryce's very happy tool box, finally in a real garage! This was his Christmas present from me.

Here are pictures of the u-haul in front of the new house, whoo-hoo!

Just another angle of the u-haul.

Our first party in the new house! Bryce's parents brought us lunch, chicken and chips and salad, oh and some beer of course!

Here is mom getting the Master bedroom ready for a carpet cleaning. The carpets were so stained we were sure that we would have to replace them. But amazingly enough a rug doctor did a great job and the carpets look great. Still some stains, but clean stains at least!

Here is the living room full of our bedroom furniture.

Here are the mom's! Laurel is scrubbing the bathroom floor and my mom is scrubbing the stains in the carpet.

We spent our first night in the house on Sunday. I cleaned the carpets in both bedrooms on Sunday and had Monday off from work so I cleaned the hallway, stairs and living room. They all look much better. We finally feel like it is safe to walk around barefoot. Tuesday and Wednesday have been spent getting things cleaned up and trying to find things...very frustrating! We are not so good with the labeling thing!

This has been a long enough post, I will try to post again tomorrow with some pictures of the finished bedroom and our new refridgerator!
