We're in.

There's a reason this post is 2 weeks overdue. As I've mentioned, our move was less than fun with a sick toddler coupled with another toddler who was out of sorts from all the chaos and let's face it, exhausted parents. So when it came to moving day the goal was: Get It In. The rest we'd deal with later.

We didn't realize how long it took us to move out of our last house, mostly because we took small truck loads over little by little over the course of 3 weeks and then did one big move with the furniture. This time we had 48 hours to get it all done.

That wasn't enough.

I kept calling my friend, C, and saying "yep, still not in. I promise, tomorrow we'll get the rest of it." She needed to go back through the temporary house and get it back in order before her dad came back in town. It literally took us 5 days to finally get the last and final loads of crap junk stuff. Thanks C for being patient with us!

So this is what our move in day looked like...


Oh wait...that's Todd. He was helping me model how tiny our guest closet is. He can't even turn sideways people! Made even smaller by the fact that all of my clothes are now shoved in the closet.

Back to the point of this post...move-in day pictures.

Our new couches arrived:


Along with all our other stuff...


At one point we questioned if we actually had that additional 500 sq feet we were so excited to gain...




This was our bedroom. We couldn't even walk in it for a few days and had to move boxes to make it to the bed each time. That was fun.


The boy's room. Note the presence of two toddler beds. Now there's only one. And no, we didn't get rid of a kid.



Then there was the "guest room". When we didn't know what it was, where to put it or let's face it - want to deal with it, this is where it went. At one point the guys stopped asking and they just shoved things in the room.


We've come a long way over the past two weeks. I've just started hanging pictures since I decided we wouldn't be able to paint for at least a month with our schedule. I couldn't handle them sitting in piles around the house so I started putting them up. May regret that later but for right now it's making me a little less crazy calmer.
