living in our new house

This one may be long and boring. sorry. jump around.


yes we are living in our house, however, i will not say we are moved in. we still have no stove, microwave or fridge inside the house, so cooking is not much of an option yet. however, our beds are in and we are still working! we still having touch up painting to do.

It was so wierd the first night, thinking that we would actually be sleeping in our own house for the first time!!! we can do whatever we want to it, whenever. the downside, we also get to pay for everything! that's a little scary to me.

I feel the need to express my many blessings! we found a wonderfully huge washer and dryer on craigslist that seem to work well. we were able to get a cheap entertainment system and the tv was thrown in! a friend of family moved and didn't want to take it with them. family has helped so much!! we haven't had a clear schedule of when moving or painting and just going by ear, and so we couldn't ask people ahead of time if they would help, but family has stepped in and helped with plenty of painting and cleaning and moving!!

I am enjoying track break, but so sad that I only have one more week. i still have SO much I need to do!! the day before track break, we had a fun little valentine's day party with root beer floats!!!! i know... crazy with kindergarten!! but it actually went really well. i just wish everyday could be as easy going not worried about making sure we got things done. the kids just had to stay seated and we got everything for them. it was so sweet. when they got their bag full of cards from everyone, they were all yelling around the room tahnking each individual person the card was from. finally, we all just said one thank you together. it was sweet.

trevor is sick again. the poor guy!! but he is so great. he's still working so hard and getting things done even when he feels pretty bad. we know have some lights!!! it's wonderful! we had no lighting fixtures and so we had a lot to buy. but it could've been much worse.

craig is loving it! he has so much space to run, jump and THROW!! yes, we are working on things and places he can and cannot throw. but he rides his bike down to check the no mail we get and plays outside in the back yard a little. sleeping and getting to used to the new place is still a work in progress. but i think he'll get used to it soon.

i'll try and post pics soon! we had my brother come in town from reno and it was so fun!! we were trying to move and pack that weekend, but it still was nice.

Marilene! AWESOME that you guys are in!!! We found a place yesterday(renting, not buying) and so we'll see what happens!
I KNEW YOU dream about me!? What can I say, my wit and charm is irresistable! =) Funny though, and I so wish we could have seen you guys when we were down! Its been nice to reconnect! Funny about Craig throwing. We've decided that Charli is going to be in her own bed when we move. Thats the plan... it probably wont happen! AWESOME house and glad to see its coming along!
