We are officially moved in!

Last Saturday, we officially moved into our house. We would have never been able to do it all in one morning like we did with out the help of great friends and family. Lu's parents even woke up and drove 3 hours just to come help us, and it was a good thing they brought the truck since we filled up our u-haul entirely, but with the cars and all we only had to make one trip. Props go to the all girl double A team (Annie and Anna) and Lu's Dad, who I believe carried every heavy box (especially the book ones) I was on furniture duty but by the time I was done with that everything else was in the house. Lu's mom made brownies for the entire city of Atlanta, some were coffee, some with nuts and some just plain old regular, we didn't even come close to finishing them.

Matt did a great job packing the truck on one leg... well two legs but a rehabbing knee. I still think my dad and I make a good team, we just work together pretty well. Oh and can't leave out Tiffy, who for important reasons couldn't get sweaty, but instead vaccummed and cleaned pretty much the entire apartment while we were packing the truck. That made the move out inspection so super easy. We loved our apartment and had a great floor plan and all, but it definitely was so good to be in our house.

My mom and Lu did a great job at getting the house livable. The kitchen is almost entirely put together, still a little messy but everything important is in its place, i hooked up the washer and dryer already and they are working, the living room still needs some work but is a place to sit so that is nice, and our bed room we can at least sleep there.

We are still surrounded by lots of boxes to navigate around and a long list of to do's which we are gradually working on but it is fun to be in the house. Thanks to God giving us the strength and determination to work long days and come home and put in more work. We are slowly making things really our own.

Taking off this weekend though to get a short vacation with some awesome friends, when things finally get organized we will be putting up before and after pictures...
