Back in the Saddle Again

Well, we made it.

Thank goodness most of our things were still boxed up from Louisiana which made my job a little easier. We started moving Thursday in the early evening and got everything in the house by about 8:30 that night. Then began the task of unpacking. I spent all day Friday while Troy was at work putting everything away and collapsing boxes as I went. Then come Saturday, I only had 3 boxes left to unpack and then we were done.

We are now all settled in- the walls are a little bare and we need to hang curtains, but everything is where it should be and we are enjoying being homeowners... finally! Now begins the next waiting game- for little Chloe. She has strict instructions from Dad to wait until he returns home from a wedding he is attending in Shreveport this weekend and then she can come any time she likes!

So that's what I'll be doing... waiting and playing catch up. We just finally got internet and cable set up yesterday- there was a week long waiting list! You have no idea how much you depend on computers and television to help entertain you until you don't have them. And my goodness, the things that happen when you take a week off! I had over 135 blog posts to catch up on, so needless to say, if I haven't commented on what's been going on with you, it's not personal! And I may or may not be around in blogland the next few weeks- we'll see how our little *glow bug treats us! :-)

*This is one of the first few nicknames {of many, I'm sure} that little Chloe has been given. This one was made up by Troy who says Chloe rhymes with Glowy which then evolved into 'glow bug'. I think it's pretty cute!

My week has been pretty non-stop go- I have had deliveries or repair people come to the house every single day this week. Check out how my week went so far:

Monday: Mattress Giant delivers our new mattress and Peyton's big boy mattress.

Tuesday: Bassett delivers our new formal dining room table that seats 8, Pro Flowers delivers beautiful flowers that my Mom sent as a Mother's Day/Housewarming gift, the builder comes over to assess things that need to be taken care of and the painters come over to touch up spots that were missed.

Wednesday: Dr.'s Appointment for me, the plumber comes to fix our master shower {construction workers dumped cement and grout in the drain and it took heavy duty acid to loosen it up!}. Troy buys his new 'baby', an HD T.V. and sets it up that evening.

Thursday: Verizon comes to set up the new 'baby' and internet; hallelujah! Construction workers come over to fix the creak in the top step, cement pourer comes to fill holes in our sidewalk, then we had a visit from the members of our church Bishopric that evening.

Today: Absolutely nothing but relaxation!

Oh, but don't even get me started on all of the errands we've been running in addition to all of the 'visitors' we've been having- let's just say that Lowes and Target have become close friends this past week! :-)

Well, that's all that's been going on with us! We'll post more updates {and hopefully pictures!} a little later. Hope all is going well in your neck of the woods!
