Checking in!

We are in our new house and getting settled in as quickly as possible. Have I mentioned how HUGE it is? OH MY!! It's definitely the biggest house I have ever, or will ever, live in!

The painters are finishing up with the paint and I am really pleased with the colors. 3 of the bathrooms are being remodeled. They are probably 1/2 way done (maybe a little less) with the bathrooms. I don't mind the workers here, but the house stays constantly dusty and the floors a mess with the people in and out of the house. Oh well, so worth it! Did I mention that the renovations and paint are picked up by the mission since it is a mission owned home? Another huge blessing!

John is going on Tuesday to purchase the homeschooling room furniture and the baby's furniture. We can get really nice, light pine furniture for extremely cheap! All I need to do is set up the homeschool room, the baby's room, unpack John's side of the closet and organize our office/workoutroom and then the packing is completely done! YEAH!!

So far we have done our room, the bathroom, 2 kids rooms, kitchen, living room and patio. Can you believe it? Things are completely functional now! Pictures to come once the workers are out of the house and the floors are clean.

There is a chance that the outside of the house will be painted sometime this year too.

We are so blessed (and broke ) LOL! The kids have made a bunch of new friends in the neighborhood so far and we have some really nice neighbors.

It is nice to hear the birds chirp and the trees rustle! And today the sun even came out and it was a perfect afternoon.
