On Friday we closed on our house. Meaning, Saturday was a pretty awesome, yet hectic birthday. Rob made a fabulous french toast breakfast for all of us. After that we did a lot of house stuff. Shower rods, shower curtains, and a TV (that, of course, was the most fun). And in the evening I went to the RS Broadcast. We'll really "celebrate" when we're settled in. Maybe in 2 weeks, since this weekend is General Conference.
We never thought about how we would need a mailbox - until Friday night. That was our Family Home Evening last night. Thankfully a new neighbor lent us a tool and helped hold things in place while Rob put the base in (not really a task for me at 27 weeks).
We get our household goods tomorrow. For the first time in 5 moves Rob will actually have some days off to help unpack and settle in. Our settling in will require some major shopping. Still on the list: bunkbeds (if we can ever get the boys to "successfully" share a room - they love being in their together, but they don't love the sleeping part), a crib (Guy and Coop only ever had a pack 'n play -- we're moving up in the world!), a living room set (we've never had a living room before). And just a lot of fun like that. Not only does Rob have 3 days off, but then there's the weekend and Columbus Day all in a row. Great timing, right? That might be a first. ;)

Isn't it insane EVERYTHING you have to buy for a new house? shower curtains, blinds, toiler brushes!
So what are thinking about for living room furniture etc?
We were going to have a table made but just couldn't spend that much in the end. I found one on KSL and I"m going to attempt to refinish it...yikes.
Anyways i'll have to keep up with your postings for photos.
Congratulations!!! I hope you are feeling well and that everything gets done relatively stress-free. :)
