Moving Day

The title of this post is deceiving, it actually took us much more than a day to move in :)  We actually still have A LOT of items in a storage building that we need to get out, but the bulk of our move happened over a week. Unfortunately, moving week coincided with a very busy work week for Ryan. A huge thank you goes out to my parents and sister. They did a lot of packing and a lot of moving junk. Double thanks goes to Stevie, she helped us the last time we moved and I seem to remember her making the empty threat about only helping move, she will never pack our stuff again, haha.

The Wednesday evening of moving week I decided we needed professional help.  I called College Hunks Hauling Junk and they were able to come out and move us the next day! They got all large items (beds, dressers, entertainment center and large appliances) and it was nice to let them tear it all down and put it all back together.

Here's some pictures of the cutie over moving week.

We had a busy summer!

4 months, wow it's been that long since an update and boy do we have a lot to update on!

First, we moved! We really only moved about 5 miles but it really has made a difference in our daily lives! We are closer to pretty much everywhere we go regularly. The house is bigger (room to grow) and most importantly it is finished! We have no projects looming over our heads!  Of course we would like to paint and change some small things, but nothing major! What a nice change! We have finished one room, the entry hall! Here's a pic so you can see our handy work!

Second, I went back to work!  Back in March I decided to quit my job to pursue a lifestyle change. I wanted to spend more time at home and in July I found a great job that has given me the opportunity to work part time with the flexibility I wanted so I could still do activities with Cole!  It's been a little bit of an adjustment but I think we are all much happier people!

And finally the last and most important update!  We are expecting a new baby January 5!  Cole is very excited to welcome a baby brother and even started calling him 'my baby'.

Hopefully I can get back into the swing of blogging, but I'll leave you with some pictures!
