Well, the move was successful! It took all day Sunday, but with the help of our wonderful family we got it done! Thank you all for your help! We still have a LONG way to go before we are all settled in, but I can tell you we already feel much more comfortable here than at the other house. It's truly just a nicer home. It's laid out quite a bit differently as well. The 2nd street house was a shot gun style house, while this house is laid out in a more "walk around" style. In fact, Caleb was extremely amused by the fact that you could walk circles in the house through the rooms.
The Comcast guy came today and got us hooked up. It's a good thing our landlord is a retired guy, other wise we probably would have had to wait another week to get it hooked up. We had to have him call to give them permission to drill a hole in the room for the cable, which is something the customer service lady failed to mention to us when we scheduled them to get us reconnected.
We also went back to the old house today to some cleaning. We had left a few things over there and we had thought that our stuff would be safe, considering the fact that we still had the keys to place, our rent was paid up to the end of today, AND we told our landlord we wouldn't be turning in our keys until today; but yesterday Allen got a phone call from his assistant telling us that they had sent men over to start working on the place to get it ready for new renters, but that they noticed we still had stuff in there. Ummm...yeah, we still had quite a bit of stuff, cleaning supplies, a vaccumm cleaner, our trash can, and some very important things in the closet! So we went to pick that stuff up yesterday. We left the cleaning supplies and called Scott just to remind him that we were still going to clean. Get this, when we got there today, someone had been in there and had stolen our mop bucket, a towel, our Mean Green Cleaning Spray, AND our five remaining trash stickers that we were saving to put on the couple of remaining bags of trash! What kind of crap is that!?!? Seriously! Well, we figured that the only people who had access to get into the locked house were Scott's men, so we just left the bags of trash in the house. We were going to tag it, but since they have our trash stickers, THEY CAN TAG IT! UGH!!!!!
We are SOOOOOOO glad to be out of there. Our next door neighbors here are very nice people, they even came over to greet us while we were moving in. AND they have a miniature dachshund that is almost identical to Penny, named Wendy and a Dapple Chiwienie (cross between Chihuahua and a Dachshund). Very cute!
We both had today off to work on unpacking and take care of some other business, but it still wasn't enough time to get everything unpacked. Allen has to work this weekend, but I don't so I'm hoping I can get some of it done this weekend, at least most of it. It's hard not knowing where everything is yet.
I almost walked into the closet next to our bedroom TWICE trying to get to the bathroom.
Well, we will be posting some pics up here online as soon as we get things where we want them.
Oh, and YAY! Allen's brother Matt and his wife Nicole have started a blog too! :) We really like this blogging thing. http://twocool-ey.blogspot.com/
