So this is a long update since we have no internet. I am at Panera using the internet so I can send this update.
First I want to thank everyone again for the wonderful and warm Birthday wishes! It was a busy day of unpacking but we did go out to Red Robin for my free birthday burger. LOL :) I got a few nice cards in the mail and a beautiful bouquet of flowers from my mom. Thanks everyone again!
We arrived at our house on Monday, Jan 10th. It was covered in snow and the highs that day were in the low 20's. We got everything unloaded and set out for Super Walmart to get some things that we needed. We spent almost $500 and then talked to the tire dept and decided to get better tires. Good thing because my tread was really low and that is why our drive the day before was so dreadful. The tires cost us another $500 so it was an expensive day. LOL While we were at Walmart, we got a call that our mover would here at 8am on Tuesday. What a great birthday present to be able to sleep in my own bed and not on an air mattress. That night we also went to America's Furniture Warehouse and got a new dinnette table, 3 dressers and a guest room bed. We are ready for our first visitor!
Tuesday morning arrived and so started the chaos. All of our stuff was unloaded and the house is in a shambles! The dogs are doing well in their crate since it is snowing and they are wimpy California dogs. Actually, Maya is doing remarkably well and will go out in the snow, do her business and even explore until her paws get cold. Jake on the other hand is a wimp! He will only go in the snow when he can hold it no longer. He has only gone potty and poop once a day so far. Good thing the weather is warming up and the snow should melt pretty quick. He will be thrilled!
Our new furniture was delivered yesterday. It looks great and I can't wait to have a computer in the house so I can upload photos of our house and the kids. I have unpacked the master bathroom, set up the kids beds, unpacked about 10 boxes in the kitchen and done some shopping for lamps (this house has no lights in any of the rooms (weird). It has been a busy week.
I got a call today that my mom is going to come help me unpack this weekend. My brother's baby is due on the 16th so I was surprised that she wanted to come help me work instead of wait around for her 3rd grandbaby. But I will take the help; it is needed! We also have Bill's parents coming in a few weeks so by the middle of Feb. we should be pretty well settled. Highs today are in the low 40's and the lows are up to about 15 degrees. Much warmer than we have had. Colorado 40's are MUCH warmer than CA 40's (as long as it isn't windy).
We will have cable, internet and phone on Sat. so I will update again then and post pix. Thanks for stopping by!
