New House

On Friday the 11th at 8:15 we had to be at our new house to do a walk throw(to make sure there weren't big holes in the carpet, things like that) before we went to the bank to sign all the papers and get our keys for our NEW house. We had to take Cam with us but while we were at the bank signing the papers he was pretty good. When we were done at the bank we went straight to our new house and dropped off our badly loaded trailer into the garage. On our drive down we couldn't go over 65 miles an hour. The trailer was loaded really bad and if we went faster then 65 it would start swaying side to side. We really didn't want to lose all our stuff so we had to drive slower then normal. It was a long 4 hour drive.

After we dropped the trailer we when straight to Wal-mart to get cleaning supplies and some food. It only took us 45 min. to drive and do the shopping. This is hug for us, because when we go to Wal-mart were we live now it's a min. of a 3 hour trip. Two hours to drive there and back and then that only give you one hour of shopping time, which isn't much time.

The first things we did when we got back to our new house after shopping was we made lunch, peanut butter and jelly and chips on our new patio. It was a great day.

On Friday all we did was clean, clean, clean. We got the kitchen and one bathroom done. Doesn't sound like much but Cam was with us all day and we really didn't get to start cleaning until 11:30 and we only cleaned until about 5. The kitchen always takes so long. I think it took me 1 hour to just clean the refrigerator.

Cameran found his bedroom window very fun. He decided to stand on the sill and jump off it

Look mommy I can jump of the window sill. Lets do it again :)

On Saturday my mom watched Cam for us so Don and I went to the house at 7:00 am and we started painting right away. We only painted the kitchen and the living room. We painted from 7 till 5:30. It was a long day. Don is all the rolling and I did the cutting in. Here are some pictures of before and after. It's always hard to pick out paint colors, but I do like this color, thank god.

very, very white walls before we painted.

After we painted.

More white walls.

All done painting the living room and kitchen finally.

Don's mom and Grandma came over to help us clean too. With Don's mom having cancer she still wanted to help us clean. I couldn't believe how much she did. They got to our house at about 10 and stayed till 4:30. They cleaned all the window and cleaned most of the shades. Don's mom and grandma looked so tired when they left. I am so thankful for all the work they did. It helped us so much. I wouldn't like if they only came over and visited with us.

Thanks again Mom and Grandma for helping clean and my mom for taking care of Cam. Love you all very much.
