There goes the neighborhood

We managed to get everything moved on Thursday and I spent my weekend cleaning and trying to find a home for the necessities. I didn't want to unpack to much, because we are going to be doing some major renovating. Al assures me that the downstairs will be done in time for Colter's 1st birthday. He has 3 months. That should be more than enough time, but with our conflicting schedules, it is difficult for us to do much together. It will be interesting.


As of right now, we do not have a stove or microwave. Luckily, my family made sure that we did not starve this weekend. My brother feed us chili dogs and steak, and my mom brought enough food to feed an army. If things work out okay, I am going to do a little shopping on Friday, after Colters 9 month checkup. Thank god for Internet, because I may have to order things that way. It would be easier for Al. That way he doesn't have to stress about whether or not he picked out the right one.


Speaking of Internet, my provider cannot get to my house to hook things up until next Monday. So I have been without phone, (thank god for cells) Internet, and cable since Thursday. I cannot stand much more of it. I may be in a straight jacket soon. I am not sure what on earth they did to pass the time back in the day before cable tv. I hate to admit that I am that dependant on it. I couldn't wait to come back to work and check the weather, my email and watch some TV!


I am sure anyone who has moved at some point in their life, knows it takes a while to get used to. My dogs are finally starting to calm down. They were making me crazy. As we were trying to sit around our midget sized table, that we had crammed into our old midget sized house, I looked around and could not believe how much room we still had. On Friday morning, I got the strangest feeling. It was almost like panic. I didn't know where everyone was. I started searching through the house and I couldn't find anyone. I eventually realized they were outside. It was a very strange feeling not knowing were someone was. In the old house, you always knew.


This is our midget table, in our dining room. We have a dining room!!! And a midget dining table! I think I will be looking for just a wee bit bigger dining table. Not to much though. It might not fit. :o)
Have a great day!

I hear ya' on the no cable or internet...I always hated moving for that very reason! You just feel so disconnected from the world without those things!

Sounds like you guys are getting settled. Sounds like you have a TON more room then you did before. I'm sure everyone is enjoying all the space of the new place. So happy that you guys found a bigger house :)!

I hear you about being without a phone.
We are so spoiled with all of these conveniences. What would we do without our phones, cell phones, computers and etc.

Happy Unpacking!!
