We had one last get together with ice cream with our neighbors the night before we left our house. Kaycee made this adorable wreath as a going away gift. Cue more tears! At this point, I've cried so much over every little thing I can't cry anymore! When we spoke in church I knew I'd be emotional but I had already cried every Sunday for a month before that. So I knew Chad would have a hard time and he did. We sure have loved our ward and neighbors but believe there is something pulling us to this area in Overlake and we are hoping to give our kids the best chance at having a happy childhood and keeping them on the right path.
This cute sign was also left as a gift from the realtor. Here we go into OUR NEW HOME!
As promised, Alex delivered on the goods! There were baskets of goodies and even a basket for Jilly pup.
Lots of cleaning supplies, s'mores and house supplies were gifted to us.
Alex stocked the deep freeze with SO many popsicles. She was so good to us!
In the garage we found a new GAS FIREPIT! We couldn't wait to get this set up and find a patio set for our patio!
Jilly approved of the new grass and new toys. She had her toy chewed to fluff in no time.
The saddest part of moving is that our new couch wouldn't fit down the stairs! We tried every angle, even considered breaking it apart to get it down there. When we were finally defeated, and there were holes in our new walls to mark our defeat, we decided to sell the couch and find a new one. We were able to sell it close to what we bought it for so I was happy with that. These men worked tirelessly and were determined to get that thing down there!
A friend text me the next morning checking in to see how I was. I was SO tired. And as I got dressed for the day, it showed. I sent her this to prove my tiredness.
Alex and Tripp came over to welcome us and snap some pictures. They themselves are moving to AZ in a few weeks so we will miss seeing them around!
It took several days of eating out before we had our first meal in our new home!
We got the tramp set up quickly but then we had a storm and it blew up sideways on our home. So we took it back down til we could get some anchors.
And everyone asks Rylee how she is liking her new room....this picture will tell you.
And I LOVE snuggling in my new Minky blanket that Alex also gifted us. She is seriously the best! I sent her this pic to let her know how much we loved it. I use it EVERY night!
We are so happy in our new home. We love having members in our neighborhood and being in a big family ward. We love the extra space, the grassy yard, the finished basement and that everyone has their own space to decorate and care for. We can't wait to have parites and BBQ and have new (and old) friends in our home. Welcome Home!
