"Who hears these words of mine & puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew & beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine & does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew & beat against that house, & it fell with a great crash."

Matthew 7:24-27

Move In Weekend

The 25th of July, which was a Saturday, we had designated as "move in" day.  For the past two to three weeks (since we got back from the cabin) Erik has been spending almost every night over at our new house painting.  His parents have also been quite wonderful and stopped over many nights to help paint too, along with my aunt and Erik's sister.  This was a tough weekend to get people together, as lots of people were out of town on vacation, etc., but we got the job done!  Our first priority was to get all of our beds set up, as we didn't want to be doing that at 9:00 that night.  The beds we weren't using at my parent's (Norah's was the only one we were using) had mostly been delivered Friday evening so it was just a matter of assembling things.  We also really needed to get the kitchen unpacked as eating was somewhat of a priority. :)  And, after a full day, we can happily say that we stayed at our new house that night in a somewhat organized fashion!  I don't really have any pictures from moving day, but I do have a few shots of some of the work Erik did painting.  I will have to update with more "finished" shots here in another post.

Craig began ripping out the bushes so we could actually move in, they were so overgrown they covered half of the walkway.

Erik painting the fireplace.

So much better!

On a last minute decision, we decided to paint our garage floor.  It was quite the process, but I'm so glad we did, it looks awesome!
