Moving In

Blog Post About January 2021

We were enjoying cool weather with 30% chance of snow at the exact same time the South got deluged by so much snow that many of you lost power. We lose power all the time during cold weather, but we are more prepared with propane heaters (and our pipes haven't ever frozen over). We were really feeling for a lot of you during this time. I hope you have since recovered.

Ahhh! So good to be back in the city... HA!

We left our friends' house early one morning to start "moving day," and drove down this two-way street. This is normal, but I forget to post pictures like this. The neighborhoods are parked like this each night, so when you meet a car coming, it makes for VERY interesting driving!

So the movers got busy loading all of our stuff into trucks and taking it over to the house. 

I was a little concerned about where all the screws ended up that were supposed to be available to put all of our furniture back together again.

Also, you get a look at all our well-designed bathrooms. 

This is Caleb's, and he still chooses to shower downstairs in mine and Doug's rather than have a wet bathroom floor every day, and I don't blame him.

Caleb's room.

They found all the pieces!

Check!

Karis' room.

They found all of her parts and pieces, too!

Check!

Mine and Doug's room, on the other hand, took them over four hours, and there were a lot of frustrating statements coming out of this room.

And since one of my drawers still has a hard time closing, I'm guessing they did NOT find all of the pieces for this room.

Although it looks pretty complete.

This is the master shower downstairs, which four out of five of us choose to use because we decided to leave this toilet unused.

Keira's room. Check!

Doug got creative with a shower curtain, and Karis actually uses her shower. It helps that the shower is not BETWEEN the toilet and the door like the others.

And Keira does not use hers.

One more toilet that gets to stay dry.

We had an old sink counter and a couple of bathroom counters from previous houses that held us over until we could get new cabinets installed...much later.

By the end of the day, when I called Kylie, things felt a little crazy!

Hopefully you look better than we do after a day of moving? :)
