We have a new house!!! On Friday, November 18 we finally moved into our new house. We are so excited to own a home and are busy getting all settled and unpacked. Kyla is so excited about her new room and new bed. Until now she has been sleeping in her crib converted into a toddler bed and now she has a full size memory foam mattress with super cozy princess bedding and she loves it! She has been sleeping all night in her bed, which she has never really done, until now she has cried a lot during her sleep and always wanted to sleep in bed with us. Her room is very fun with all of her toys and lots of cute stuff. She is very proud of it and loves showing it off to all of the visitors we have had so far and hardly even lets them leave her room to finish the tour of the house. So far we have had several visitors. On the day we moved in we didn't even hardly see her all day because she was so excited about her new room and was busy unpacking and playing with all of her toys.
On moving day my mom and Aunt Carol drove the snowmachine trailer up to our house loaded with all of our belongings and helped us getting everything in the house and helped us with starting to unpack and put things away. On Sunday we had are first visitors, Aunt Lynn, Michelle, April, Travis, Aunt Diana and Jesse all came over to see the new house and then the following weekend Aunt Lynn, Michelle and Ashley all came over so Ashley could also see our house while she was in town. I cant wait to have everything put away and have more visitors.
Besides getting things unpacked and put away we have also been busy shopping for everything we needed for the house. We bought a nice washer and dryer during home depots black friday sale and will finally get it this friday after two weeks of not doing laundry. We also had to buy blinds for all the windows, a medicine cabinet, garbage disposal, rugs and lots of other odds and ends for the house, so we have spent a lot of time and money at home depot in the past couple weeks. We also have lots of new things that have been given or made for us. My mom made a coffee table, end table and console table for us, are relator gave us her old fridge that she just replaced and My cousins Michelle and April gave us a nice table with 6 chairs that belonged to a family they know who just moved. We are so greatful for all of the great new things we have received and it so fun putting are house all together. When everything was still in boxes I thought that there was no way we had enough room for everything that we owned, but I was suprised with how much closet space and storage we had. We have found a home for almost everything and the off season stuff we are not using has all gone down to are crawl space.
I finally have more than enough kitchen space for all of my dishes and kitchen gadgets and I still even have empty cupboard space. We still need a few more things for the house to get everything organized and we need to decorate the walls and get lots of pictures framed. But, for the most part we are settled and don't have too many projects we need to get done or major shopping trips, until summer that is. Once summer comes along we need to build a back deck, a shed, a garden, a front patio, put up rain gutters, plant grass and landscape, so we will have a very busy and expensive summer, but it should be fun too.
It has been so fun watching our house from the first day they broke ground to completion. It has seemed like a long process since we were so excited to get into the house, but it was only august that we decided to buy a house and began looking around and decided to go with a new construction. I'm excited to put together a photo album of the entire process.
