Finally

So a lot has been going on lately. Got our house, painted, moved, house sat, celebrated Fourth of July, and a trip to Utah! This post will be a narrated tour of pictures through the last couple of weeks!
Sorry in advance for the pictures that are sideways.... it wasn't turning and I didn't have the patience to fix them... so just turn your head. :)
After signing our life away at the title company for our house!


Day 1- After getting into our house, we decided that we coudln't wait and we needed to paint. Mind you, we decided this at about 8 at night. Alyssa and I trucked on over to Home Depot and got all the paint. We had decided we were going to pull an all-nighter. We just couldn't understand why the man behind the paint counter was laughing at us after telling him the dimensions of the house, getting the paint, and telling him we were going to paint it all in one night! I now know why he was laughing at us....
This is my wonderful mom helping paint at our all nighter! Thanks mom for your help and for providing the much-needed caffine for the night!

Alyssa (The best sister ever. I couldn't have made it throught the move without her! Thanks Alyssa) and Sarah helping paint. We figured since we were all teachers and are on summer break, we could handle the all-nighter!

Painting Away!
The end of all-nighter numero uno! My phone says 4:00 AM... and if anyone knows me... this is a miracle, I am usually out by about 10 pm!


Painting...Day 2- The man at the paint counter was right! We didn't get it all done in one night, but we did get the whole downstairs done. Day 2 consisted of painting upstairs!
Thanks Kari (Will's mom) for coming and painting. Couldn't have gotten all throse rooms done without you!

Dad painting the TALL, TALL wall! Thanks for reaching all the spots we couldn't and for having the gadgets to take care of anything and everything!

Me, by the end of all-nighter numero dose. I was definately not as pleasant by the end of this all-nighter! Thanks everyone for putting up with me!

Lincoln stealing my camera, thanks for the house, and for coming over to help tape (your favorite) and paint!

Day 3- Last wall needing paint! Alyssa beautifully wrote our names before fully covering it!

Day3 (still)- We were very blessed and were given a bunch of really nice furniture. We are very grateful for all the blessing that we have been given with this house, and we are so lucky to have such great family and friends to help us along the way!

These guys did great! This stuff was HEAVY and the turning stairs didn't help either!

Thanks for all your help!


Taking a break after a long day of moving! You guys are the best! Thanks for all you do!

Going CRAZY travaling ALL the way from my new house to Alyssa's new house!


Fourth of July! Thanks Brandon and Megan for coming to hang out with us!

Trip to Utah.... Alexa and Emma with matching braids!

Alyssa taking Sarah and I to Ikea for the first time!!! It is amazing there!


Sarah, Alyssa, and I at the Temple Open house. It was beautiful!

One of the best days of the trip! Going to see Whitney and Baby Sawyer! I miss you guys.


It has been a crazy last couple of weeks, but they have been great!
