Not much new for us the last few days. We had a nice weekend of watching some movies and more unpacking/arranging of the house. We finally got an organizer for our linen closet, so we could put away all our bathroom stuff! It was just this huge closet with nothing in it, so we needed something to make shelves in it and make it a little more organized. So that's done.

Mat is going to start studying to get his CDL license for work. His job search is going very slowly, so he decided to take on his own route at work. He should get a little bit of a raise and will get to drive the big trucks!! His boss has been wanting him to have his own route and he decided to this week. I know it isn't exactly what he wants to do, but I know he'll do great at it, just like he does everything he puts his mind to.

So that's it for now! Hope everyone is having a great week.

Good Morning! So I know I keep promising pictures of our new house, but we still have a few straggler boxes left. We're hoping to get the house finished this weekend and then we'll get some pictures up! We still have a ton of boxes in the garage that we'll have to go through, but at least we're almost done with the house! Whoosh.

I'm ready for the weekend! I guess we're almost there, so that is good news! We don't have huge plans for the weekend that I know of. I'm going to my mom's house on Saturday while Mat is at work. We might do some wedding dress shopping, but I know we are going to their neighborhood farmer's market. I haven't been yet and I think it will be fun to see what they have.

We've been watching a lot of movies lately since there aren't too many tv shows on this summer. So here are some reviews for the last few we've watched.
Confetti - this was silly, but fun. It is about three couples who are chosen by a wedding magazine and one of them will win a house for the most creative wedding.
Bridge to Terabithia - this was not our favorite. It made me sad and I just don't really like to be sad! And we were disappointed because we thought it was going to be totally different.
Marie Antoinette - this movie lasted 8 hours. Not really, but it seemed like it! It wasn't bad (neither of us fell asleep), but I wouldn't say it was our favorite.
The Bourne Identity - we rewatched this to prepare for the third movie out in theaters now. We both like these fun action movies.
Idiocracy - I made Mat turn it off because I was so bored. He finished it the next day and didn't like it.
The Messengers - I was hoping this would be scary and it wasn't really. It reminded me of the Grudge a little and that was good in the theaters.
Blood and Chocolate - We stopped this too. Neither of us were getting into it and we would rather spend our time doing something we both want to do.
Shooter - This was a fun one. Marky Mark gets framed for an attempted Presidential Assasination.

We have two we'll probably watch this weekend - Dead Silence and The Last Kiss. I don't think Mat is too excited about either! But I think they both look fun. We'll see!

Still Unpacking...

We are still living amongst the boxes! But we are slowly, but surely getting things unpacked. We got all of our spices into our new magnetic spice jars, which are so, so, so cute. We made little labels and I think they turned out great. There is a lot to do this weekend, but I think my main goal is to get all of our files organized. This is something I have been wanting to do for a long time and now I finally have everything I need! I can't help the fact that I love office supplies and organization.

I'm ready for the weekend! I keep hoping that if I can get a lot unpacked then I can start updating our blog more often and actually putting pictures up. I can't wait to be able to do all of this fun stuff online. Our computer is great, but in our apartment the connection was worthless, so I feel like I can really use it to its maximum potential now that our connection is great!

In case I don't get to write any more for a few days - Have a great weekend!

What a Weekend!!!

Wahoo! I'm an Aunt, I'm an Aunt! She's here, she's here! Violet Josephine was born on Saturday, August 4 at 4:34 pm! She is 6 pounds, 14 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long. She's adorable and all pink and cute! My sister did so awesome. She had her naturally and it went pretty fast. They are home now and settling in with their new little girl. I can't believe she's finally here. She is such a cutie. So tiny!

What a weekend! It was one of our best by far! It all started on Friday. Fridays are always wonderful to begin with. But this Friday was our last Friday in our apartment! Hooray for that. I did start out Friday by being annoyed. I had set up the cable company to come out on Friday and turn on our cable, but it was 4:30 and I still hadn't heard anything from them. So I called them and talked with some lady who I had set up everything with and she had written everything down wrong. It ended up not being a huge deal and they came out on Saturday, but I always have trouble with dumb cable companies so it was just annoying. So Friday night we went to bed early since Mat had to work and I wanted to get an early start on finishing all the packing.

Saturday I spent the whole day packing and waiting for the cable people to call. Mat got home and I told him to take a nap since I needed his help later. So he napped and I went and met the cable guy. He moved some of our outlets around and replaced some wires and I just kind of tinkered around the house. As I was on my way home to get Mat, I called my mom and she said that my sister was in labor! After that, Mat and I went to clean my work. Mat came and got me when I was vacuuming and said my mom had called. So I called her back and my sister already had the baby! So we super fast wrapped up the cleaning and went to the hospital. She was already out in her post labor room, so we got to go see her! It was so exciting to see her and meet her finally. We went up to her room while my sister finished getting cleaned up and then I got to hold my little niece Violet. By this time, it was 7:30 and we still had a lot of work to do before our move on Sunday. So we left and ran some errands. My parents called and wanted to get a quick dinner, so we did that and then went to our house to unload a few things they brought to us. Mat and I finished up at the house and went home to fall into bed.

The next day we were up early for our move! We got our uhaul and started as soon as Mat's family got to the house. I started doing some cleaning as they were moving so I would be out of the way. And I finished packing some things I hadn't done yet. We had everything moved by 3:30 except the food in our fridge! Our families were so helpful and I can't imagine what we would have done without them! They were all awesome. After we got the stuff moved, Mat's family (who did all the heavy lifting!) left and we went back to our apartment with my parents to clean up. That was so great too! My parents did so much throughout the day to help us and I am so happy they could be there to help us out! They left and Mat and I did the last touches of cleaning (which included him lifting me up so I could clean the fan!) And emptied out the fridge and we were done! So then we got some food and went home to sit down. We watched a couple tv shows and that was it!

Monday we got a ton unpacked, but it is still a work in progress. We'll get it done in no time though. We got so much done yesterday. Too bad we both had to go back to work today! So that's my novel! A very busy weekend for the two of us! We'll get pictures up soon. We hooked up the computer last night and it is so much faster. So look forward to many more pictures than before!

Moving Weekend!

It's finally here! We get to move this weekend! We are going to do our main move on Sunday since we are renting a uhaul for the day. But we'll be busy making sure everything is packed up and ready to go for Sunday. I can't wait to be out of our apartment for good. Only two more nights there and Sunday we'll be sleeping in our new house! Hooray!

So we're going to be busy this weekend. Mat has to work tomorrow morning and Saturdays he usually tends to work late. I'm hoping I can get everything taken care of Saturday morning so we can just be ready to move on Sunday! And then maybe we could even take the evening off to go see a movie or something. I'm taking Monday off and Mat doesn't work on Monday, so that will be nice to have the whole day and night to work on unpacking.

No baby yet! My sister is now three days overdue. I know she is ready and we are ready to meet our new niece. So keep your fingers crossed and hopefully we'll know something soon.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

New House and Wedding Plans

We love our new house! We got the keys at 7:00 pm last night and I was so, so happy! Mat and I were jumping around and we just absolutely love it. It is going to be so perfect for us. We had our families come over and meet us there so they could go on the first official tour. They loved it, of course! After they left we walked around again and then decided that we had to go to Home Depot and walk around. We finally left there at 9:30 and we hadn't even had dinner! So we ended up eating about 10 and we were both ready to fall asleep. We have all kinds of ideas of things we want to do while we live in our house, but we know we can't do it all at once. I did tell Mat that I felt like when you buy a house you should get a big chunk of money to buy new furniture or to work on the yard or whatever you want! I don't know who would do this, but maybe the banks?? Hee hee. Well, I like the idea anyway!

AND we got a wedding photographer! We went to see her last week and I loved her. Mat really liked her, but he hadn't looked through as many local websites as I had. So he wanted to look and maybe talk with a couple other photographers. Well, he spent his whole day off on Monday looking at websites and only came up with one that he wanted to talk with. But they already were booked on our date, so Cristi it is! Here is her blog that has a lot of her work from this summer: http://photosbycristidame.blogspot.com/ and her website is: http://www.cristidamephotography.com/cdpMain.html. We are really happy! She is fun and young and exactly what we were hoping for. Hooray!

So tonight we are going to do a little cleaning (although it is pretty clean already) and maybe bring a couple boxes over. We know for sure we need to get a couple things - like a shower curtain! So we'll probably try to run a couple errands too. We are having sandwiches every night this week so we can do this kind of thing. I can't wait to get some pictures on our blog, but we'll be tearing down our computer soon so it might be a few weeks.

I wish I didn't have to work for a living! I could be moving and decorating right now. :)
