We're Moved In!!!

Thanks to the help of family (Katie's family) and good friends (Crane's) we are living in our own house. We got our key last Wednesday afternoon and Katie and I moved some boxes in that night. Thanksgiving morning, we went back over to the storage unit to move more boxes. This time we had two SUV's to load and we were able to take two trip before going home to watch the Dallas Cowboy football game (do you actually think I would miss that???) and get ready to go out to dinner. We went to Memphis Barbecue for a family style Thanksgiving dinner. Of course, it was not as good as home-made but we decided that with us moving, our friends working, we could have a home-made meal any time (and will in December sometime!)

We rented a moving truck for Friday and Mike and I loaded up the truck just in time for Katie's Dad, Mom, and little sister to help un-load. That as been pretty much our weekend with shopping at Home Depot, Linen-N-Things, Target, going out to brunch at The Original Pancake House, Cheesecake Factory. We did have some spare time to watch the BYU-Utah game (Which was a great game to watch!!!) and have a small Poker Game in which I was victorious over Katie's little sister, Emily. I was close with each of us taking the chip lead for the last half hour until I got some good hands.

We will have some pictures up on the web as soon as we get most of the boxes out of our house and into the garage.

Some keep checking back in!!!!

House Closing!!!

We officially signed on the dotted line to close on our house this afternoon. Since it was so late in the day, we will not be able to get our keys until tomorrow sometime. We are so excited to have a house of our own especally in time for the holiday season! We will start moving all the little stuff tomorrow night and all day Thursday (except for the Turkey dinner and the Cowboy's football game, of course!!!) We have rented a truck for Friday to move the big stuff and will also have our kitchen table delivered that day. We will have a very busy weekend with lots of unloading, unpacking, and decorating.

We will have some before and after pictures of our house online in the next few days!!!

Stay tuned!!!

Carpet and Front Yard In!!!

Katie and our friend Lorey went to a pre-walk through yesterday in the house. Some of the new things that have been done is the carpet has been laid, the front yard has been put in, and the laundry sink with counter has been put in. We are getting so excited to be moving in. We have our official final walk through one week from yesterday (11/16) in which we go through the house and make final touch ups, house maintenance issues (A/C, furnace, water, electrical, etc....) I honestly don't believe how fast the house has been built and we only have about 1-2 weeks to go.

Braydon is loving school. I met Katie at his school yesterday to meet his teacher, see where his class is. Braydon was so excited to show me his desk and all his stuff in the desk. We have been worried he would be behind considering he hadn't been in school until now. The teachers told us yesterday that from what she has seen in theses last few days, he will be fine. She also said she will do some testing on him this next week and let us know more specifically after that. She did say she could tell he had been taught before (either pre-school or home taught). We are so proud of him!!!

Sports Update: Basically the same stuff is happening. The Cougars are winning. The Cowboys are winning. Life is good!!! The Utah Jazz have begun their season but like I've stated before: "Who Cares, It's FOOTBALL Season!!!"

Check out the few pictures Katie took at the pre-walk through. More pictures to come next week.

Braydon Goes To School!!!

Braydon attended his first day at his school. He was so excited to go and meet new friends. He is in the afternoon from 12:45 to 3:25. Katie wanted him to go to the morning class but this class actually works out better so that I will be able to pick him up after school when I get out of work early. He looked so handsome!!!

This makes it official, Katie and Braydon are down here for good. I am so glad that they are here. We all drove from Utah with our X-terra packed full. We were able to do a lot of things while we were up for the weekend. We spent time with both Moore's and Rogers'. It was actually a "Spiritual" weekend with time at the Provo Temple with my family and a baby blessing with Katie's family.

House Update: As of today (Nov. 7th) we have carpet in our house. We also have gotten our final walk through moved up to Nov. 16th. Katie and our friend Lorey will be meeting with the superintendent this Friday (Nov. 9th) to do a pre-walk through. I just can't believe that in about 3 weeks we will be in our new house!!!

Check out our new pictures of Braydon at school and we will have picture of our house this weekend.
