Moving In!!

We are FINALLY moved into our house and it feels sooo good! It was a total whirlwind and we ended up officially closing on the one-year anniversary of Matt coming home from his deployment in Korea. If that's not a sign of change I don't know what is. After 8 moves in 8 years (army life!) we couldn't be more grateful to start this next and more settled chapter.

The day we closed on the house (I was 30 weeks pregnant!)

Escrow ended up taking more than two weeks longer than expected because of paperwork delays, but we finally closed on a Friday, and spent that weekend moving little things over ourselves. Painters came on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to paint over the red, teal, and lime green rooms (ha!) On Wednesday movers packed up our rental house across town, and moved everything in on Thursday. Phew!!

Watching painters repaint the (formerly) green living room and remove the chair rail

Watching a guy in a full hazmat suit putting new insulation in the crawl space

Max relax! Napping while movers packed up the rental house

Stopping by to check on progress one day

Baby room - no longer blue, now it matches the other rooms!

Watching the painter. She had lots of questions for him but was good at following the rule
"you can watch but stay out of his way!"

Piano room before

Piano room after!
We're amazed by how much bigger and brighter it feels now!

Laundry room before. Teal + wallpaper boarder

Watching the moving trucks pull up

Matt found a creative way to bing home a BIG roll of carpet padding!

Now to unbox everything and get settled in...!
