It’s all moved and the boxes are stacked…..in Greg’s house! Saturday we hit the floor running and with the help of a few friends we were able to move ALMOST all of my belongings to our new home. Thank you Dwight, Duke, Derek and Byron!!!!! You made our day very easy and we appreciate your help. We were able to donate a few of our things to the Community Enrichment Center. Albert was kind enough to put us first on his list Saturday morning for pick up. It worked out great and we had extra hands to help carry furniture out to the truck.

 

    

Greg treated everyone to Spring Creek BBQ half way through the move and I think this provided enough momentum to carry the guys through the rest of the day.  It was DELICIOUS!!!!!!

So now my stuff is here and I’m not…….yet! I do have a very comfortable air mattress that I am sleeping on and a TV as big as my pinky toe that I can watch the Olympics on. Not too terrible for a week. I will leave and head home early next week so I won’t have to be there too long without any furniture or luxuries of home!!!!

After I arrived home late Saturday night I sent Greg a text message telling him how lonely I felt with all of my belongings gone. He picked me up for church on Sunday and then I headed to Hillsboro to switch cars with my mom Sunday afternoon. We were able to go over all the final wedding details and decisions. I would like to take a moment to say a HUGE THANK YOU to my mom for all the time and effort she has put into our wedding.  She has met with so many different people and has helped me make so many decisions and there is no way in this world that I could be doing this without her help. THANK  YOU MOM-your the best!! Oh and just in case your wondering….my dad has also helped…..he stuffed about 10 envelopes when we were mailing out invitations!!!!! heehee-love ya dad!

So back to that comment I made about feeling lonely when I saw that all my furniture was gone…..when I got back from Hillsboro Sunday evening I stopped by Greg’s. He told me he had a surprise for me and preceded to show me that he had set up my desk and hooked up my computer. He also set up my bed and found my sheet, comforter, pillows, pillow shams and dust ruffle and put it all on the bed just like I had it at my house. He even found my night stand and put it next to the bed. When I saw it I teared up at his thoughtfulness….and for the first time I felt like this was our home instead of Greg’s home. It was a nice surprise and one that made me feel very at home. I do have to admit is was strange seeing MY furniture in HIS house! Strange but nice!!

It’s going to be another busy week with lots going on!! Thanks for all the encouraging words we get from you when we see you, when we talk on the phone to you and when we get your cards in the mail! We both feel very loved by friends and family!
