Our Big Weekend

This past weekend Dave and I moved into our new home. We are so excited to be homeowners but nervous at the same time. I'm excited to have a nice open kitchen (with a dishwasher) and Dave is excited to work in the yard and one day finish the basement. The only thing we are not so excited about is the 20 minutes we just tacked on to our commute.

Dave's teacher's quorum came over early Saturday morning and spent 2 hours loading the truck. It was nice to have all of those extra hands. Our new Elders Quorum came over and met the truck when it arrived and spent a good 20 minutes unloading it. We are so thankful to have been in such a great ward and we look forward to starting our new ward.

We had so much help putting things away that our house is mostly unpacked. Dave's parents spent the whole time putting our kitchen away, which was a big job, and for that we are extremely grateful. My poor dad uloaded the truck and made about 50 trips up and down the stairs to the basement. Sue, Tyler (who drove in from Cali that morning) and my friend Jessica spent a good amount of time putting things away in the bedrooms and set Bailey's room up completely while my mom watched, fed and entertained Bailey. Everyone was such a great help and we appreciate everything they did!

And to top off the weekend... we found out our baby girl is getting her first tooth! She's only 5 months. Is she old enough for that? We had no idea since she hasn't cried once about it! She's such a good baby!

I'm so sorry that we didn't get to see the house on Sunday. We'll be sure to stop in next time we are in town.

I had to laugh when you said that Nancy & Steve put away your kitchen. They did mine too! It must be their job to organize our kitchens. I won't complain because it's a big job and it was nice to have someone else do it.

Welcome to home-owner-hood :o)
