Total Chaos

This week was utter chaos.

School started on Monday, which resulted in a mad dash for some parents to last-minute register in order for their kiddos to go to class. Tuesday was the same kind of deal.

Wednesday wasn't as crazy at school, but then we closed on our house (at separate times mind you, Sam in the AM and me in the PM). So much signing!!! Good thing I remembered the date.

Then we started packing up the apartment, and the slight chaos turned into complete chaos!

We went to our house on Thursday to retrieve the key in the key box, and found that the box had been taken and the key hidden under a rock. Finding which rock took a good 20 minutes, along with the fact that it was in the front yard and not the back yard. Go figure!

We brought over most of our kitchen, with the exception of some of our small appliances, and began wiping down the cabinets.

Friday was the day our washer and dryer were being delivered, along with a visit from the locksmith. The washer is hooked up and fabulous, but the dryer delivered has a 4-prong cord and our outlet is 3-prong. Sam is taking care of it and it should be remedied by Tuesday. We brought our closet contents and all of my paintings.

Finally Saturday was moving day. My parents showed up with the moving truck and we began loading everything around 8am. At 9:30 we arrived at the house where our unloading team of friends/family carried boxes to various rooms in the house. While we were unloading, our new bishop and his wife came by to say hello, along with our neighbor across the street. So far, we are certainly feeling the love.

Then we began the unpacking. For some reason, our important documents were scattered among multiple boxes, so we spent a good chunk of time frantically searching for them (marriage license, passports, etc.). Luckily Sam found them all. This frantic search warranted a special dinner from Cafe Rio and a trip to the grocery store to stock the fridge with produce.

We are exhausted, but very fortunate that we have Labor day next week so that we can finalize putting our house in order.

Stay tuned for photos (once I have put everything away)!
