So it is 1:32 on Thursday afternoon. This time tomorrow, I should be moving the first load of furniture. Right now Kel is sleeping and since I need a chance to catch my breath, I figured I would vent/catch you all up on what is going on. Last night Matt's cousin Casey came out to sand the ceiling that Matt has finished texturing. Because sanding the ceiling is very messy, we didn't start any painting downstairs so the dust wouldn't stick to the paint. Unfortunately, Casey wasn't able to finish last night. It's not like he works full time and goes to school full time and has another job and has a brand new house he is finishing up on and a pregnant wife. So lets just say I can understand why he couldn't finish. So we can't paint today because he needs to come back this afternoon and finish.
The good news: The bedrooms are finished. Including the master bedroom. Also, the master bathroom is finished. It just needs a mirror. So if you see me in the next few days and it looks like I haven't looked in a mirror for a day or two, it just might be true. I've moved over about half of Keldrie's clothes and about a third of mine. I've got another load set and ready to go. I've been emptying the kitchen out and need to move on to the bathroom tonight.
This move isn't going exactly how I imagined when we closed on the house 2 months ago. I blame the wallpaper. Stupid wallpaper. Stupid Ugly Wallpaper. Oh and did I mention, we found rolls of the wallpaper in a box with some Christmas wrapping paper. So if anyone needs some ugly, stupid, 70's era wallpaper, hit me up! But overall, I am thrilled with the house. It might be a townhouse, but I have yet to hear the neighbors on either side of me. It has 3 bedrooms which means our family can grow without outgrowing the house. The ward seems fantastic from the 3 weeks we have gone to church over there. The location is awesome! Less than 5 minutes to my favorite resturants: Olive Garden, Chick-fil-a, Maple Gardens, Texas Roadhouse, Applebee's, and Chili's! 7 minutes to Weber State University. 60 seconds to my Grandma and Grandpa Nicholas's house. 2 minutes from Ryan and Megan, my brother and sister in law. Plus, the house is over twice as big as the apartment and we both have a parking spot. Also, no more hauling groceries up the stairs to the apartment! Just a short walk through our covered patio and then into the kitchen! Yahoo!
Okay, it's 1:50. Break is over! I'll post pictures of the move and the finished project over the next few weeks.
