All Moved In

Well...the day was finally here- June 25th, 2010. Our wake up call of 6:45AM was much anticipated. After both eating a breakfast of champions (McDonald's and Burger king) we were off! I headed out to the house just short of 7:30 to lay down plastic in the hallways, place toilet paper in all bathrooms, and set my "moving" clothes in the closet. Ryan and I met at the bank at 9:00AM and closing took only half an hour. A few hand cramps and a cup of coffee later, it was off to the apartment for our first load. We were already in moving mode, so we decided to take the first load of boxes over and set them in the garage.

Around 11:00AM- my parents and brother graced us with their presence, and an extra bed, at the house. After unloading, the boys were back to the apartment while my mom and I made the master bed and set the appliances. A short while later the whole crew was at the house with 2 full trucks, a suburban and a uhaul! A short while later the Nebraska Furniture Mart dropped off our bedroom and living room furniture along with our washer and dryer and the Cox cable man stopped by to install our cable.

Our home felt like a busy bee hive. People were here there and everywhere! Hauling boxes, setting up furniture, taking water breaks, and sweating up a storm! When all was said and done, everything went smoothly. After picking up pizza for the crew, we all enjoyed the air conditioning and some good conversation.

Ryan and I are so lucky to have such helpful, loving and thoughtful families. We really couldn't have completed our move without you guys, and we are very grateful for you. The day seemed to fly by so fast, but moving into our first home will be a day we will never forget.
