Finally Moved In!!

The move is over.....

All we have to do now is work on decorating the place. My brother in law came over yesterday to help me install my ceiling fan.... He did a great job.

Our house is in need of some curb appeal! I went out and bought a mower, but it did not do the trick. I was down on my hands and knees for most of Sunday and Monday pulling weeds. I think I got most of them. Now it is up to Etusko to find the right plants.

Our home does not have a fenced in backyard, so that is the next big project. Since the home didn't really have a grassed backyard, we are going to kill the weeds, till the soil, and lay down sod. Should be a fun time.

All in all, we are very happy to be home owners.....

Here is a picture of our ceiling fan.

Painting is Done!

The painting is done....!!!!

Today, my brother came over to help. We painted the dinning room and kitchen, which was very difficult. Most of the kitchen had to be brushed, which made it a whole lot longer. Tomorrow we are making the move.

Hopefully we will be able to get a U-haul truck. We are tired of sleeping in the apartment that we are in......

The place looks really good..... Thanks to my mom and brother.

The House is Ours

Finally!!!!!!

We closed Monday on our new home and had to wait until Tuesday afternoon to get our keys.... We finally got our keys, and then we were off to paint. My mom came over last night and helped paint my living room and hallway. I couldn't have done it without her.....

The paint colors are Alfalfa and Alfalfa sprout (Kilz paint). Kilz's claims that one coat is all it takes, but the final test will be today. At first I thought the paint was a little too light, but as time went on, it grew on me. I plan on painting the dinning room and kitchen today. The kitchen is going to be a rough job. I will post some pictures when I get done with the painting.

Closing

The closing date is here!

Monday is the BIG day! We are very excited!!!! I took off the week so we could move and paint the new place. Over the last couple of weeks, we have became very anxious. Overall, the process has been really fast. It has only taken us about 3 weeks from picking the home to closing on the home...... But it seems like an eternity.....

We did our final walk through on Saturday. We should be moved into the home by Thursday. It all depends on how fast we get the place painted.

Wish us luck at closing.

Terrible Two's

Even know Jacob is not quite two, he has entered the terrible two's. I guess he is acting like a little boy..... He has learned to climb on the couch and chairs. It is ok until he falls off the couch (which he has a couple of times).

Everything else with the little guy is going great. He is learning at light speed. He is very curious about everything... Anything Momma or Dadda has Jacob wants... He loves books (only if they have pictures of trucks/cars). He is also able identify certain types of trucks and cars (i.e. fire trucks and police cars).

We got a couple more games for the Wii. The first one we got was Zelda (but I took it back and got Tiger Woods Golf 2008) and the second game was for Etsuko called Petz Dog2. She really likes it.

A quick update on the home.... All we are waiting for is the appraisal. Today, I got home owners insurance.... It is sooooo close we can taste it. It felt good giving our 30 notice.....
