What an exciting week!

This week was so long and stressful but so much fun at the same time! We closed on our house Wednesday, bought Brian a new truck Thursday, bought a whole house full of furniture for less than $4,000 thanks to my bargaining skills on Friday & finished ordering appliances on Saturday. We are now a week away from move in and we are so excited. There have been so many ups and downs with this. We still don't have electricity due to some girl that has the same name as me leaving an outrageous balance with Gexa Energy & we haven't finished packing since things have been so busy. We literally have gotten 4-5 hours of sleep every night for the past week & have worked the remaining hours of the day. It's been nuts, but again exciting. Tomorrow we plan to go to church & then we are going to get a generator from my friend Kate. Thanks to her and her husband we will be able to paint and tile tomorrow which means we can have appliances delivered later this week. We need to get the yard mowed, install new light fixtures, have the windows measured for blinds, and have furniture delivered and set up all before Friday. We are hoping for no major issues. :) I'm taking off all day Friday and we are going to have a moving party that evening. We are welcoming help from our TNT group at church in exchange for food and laughs. HAHA! I have to say, we truly are blessed by this group of people. Friday afternoon before I was even out of school my friend Jessica called to let me know that she had 3 trucks lined up to help if we could use them. She said she knew how anxious we were to move & wanted to help. I was touched. We didn't get to use them because we had to get things ordered and only had that night to do so, but it was really sweet. We are excited about moving in and having people over soon. We have missed entertaining as much as we did when we lived in a house before and are excited to get back to that! We are also ready for football & volleyball season to be over since things are NON STOP right now. Hopefully basketball season will be a little slower. Two coaches under one roof is fun, but it's tough to balence. Anyway, I will post pictures of the house soon. Hopefully my kitchen will be the beautiful red that I've always dreamed of by the end of tomorrow so I can have something to share. More to come soon!
