We moved into our house nearly 3 weeks ago, camping out while carpet got laid and a few other final touches got done. Two weeks ago last Saturday, we officially moved in, bringing back loads of stuff from storage. We were blessed to have about 10 men from our new ward (our church congregation) show up to help us. They came at 9 and while about half needed to leave at 11, a lot stayed and helped until we finished at 1. One man was even kind enough to hook up our washer for us, while the others just moved and moved.
Since then, between negotiating the twin battles (2 year old twins are something else, let me tell you), changing diapers and feeding a newborn, I've been unpacking and organizing. DH is making progress on finishing the cabinets, thankfully, though we're still drawerless in the office and kitchen. Hopefully, that will get done this week, though.
The other big project to do has been CLEAN-UP -- tons of paint had to be scraped off the floors, and the bathrooms were a mess when we moved in -- drywall crud everywhere. I've cleaned just 2 of what seems like a million windows. But each day we get a little more done, and life is good. I organized & decorated my living room this week, and it is wonderful to have ONE room nice in the midst of all the chaos.
