Our lives as of late

We are in our new house!!!!
After two pretty stressful and busy weeks of constant work, we got the house put together enough to move in. A HUGE thanks to my brother Chris, my sister-in-law Amber, my old neighbor and friend Adele, my mother-in-law Jan, and the guys from two elders quorums for giving us the extra help and support to make it all happen.
We love our new digs. Even though we are wading through tons of boxes we are happy. Rediscovering our stuff after having it in storage for six months is like having a big birthday party with lots of gifts you love getting. I have found myself saying, "I am so glad I have this!" several times.
We had to paint the whole house, install some new carpet, put up baseboards, and do some other "finishing" work on it. Here are some action shots:

The move went pretty slick. Since almost everything was boxed up already, it was only a matter of getting it from point A to point B. But this is what we were left with:
Jared proved he is the best husband ever by moving my piano once again:

Afton had a blast with it all, but inevitably broke down with all the craziness:

Ben slept through most of it!

We "inherited" a bunch of stuff from the previous owners. Some cool and some useless. But we did benefit from them planting a peach tree in the back yard. Although it is still small, we got seven yummy peaches off the tree. So we made peach cobbler to celebrate!


And to wrap up, here is a little video of our baby boy who turns three months old this week! Wow, how time flies!!!!
