Another weeks absence and a whole lot of change!

This last week has been absolutely CRAZYYYY.

Monday: We signed the closing papers, we picked up the truck from Paul's parents, I packed up the entire kitchen, we watched a movie, chilled, took a nap.

Tuesday: Paul and I got up at 10ish, walked to Dave's of Milton for one last small town restaurant breakfast (and we didn't shower before we went and got asked if we had partied the night before....yeah either that or packed up an apartment). Signed one more paper for the house. We drove to Seattle to pick up Paul's Civic so we can sell it! Came home, packed all the boxes we could into my car and Paul's dad's truck, finished at 4, sat on the couch, and then got the call we could move in! We called Joe, Amber, Steve, and Kathy and started moving in! We moved until 10pm, then Paul and I went grocery shopping and spent 70 bucks since we hadn't bought a bite of food all month! Haha.

Wednesday: I got up at 6:30am with Paul to pack his lunch, and started unpacking stuff. Then I took a nap from 8-9am. Then the carpet cleaner guy came and cleaned all the carpets in the house. While the guy was cleaning all the carpets I organized the whole kitchen! Then I had to get ready for work. I left at 11:45am and got home a little after midnight.

Thursday: I woke up at 6:30am again with Paul, packed his lunch, and then started unpacking like a crazy person. I moved stuff from the "wooden bedroom" to the closet, my craft room and our bedroom. I set up our bed! No more air mattress for us! Then I went to work from 11:45am to 2:30am, so not cool.

Friday: Woke up at 6:30, packed Paul's lunch and promptly fell back to sleep till 10. Laid in bed, read my blogs, replied to some emails, packed my lunch and went to work. I had a small breakdown. Too little sleep, so much change, too much work, and then I had people tell me they audited the two charts of people I had admitted by myself (just 4 hours before) and that I missed a couple things (that I never even knew I should do, and asked people about them weeks ago and they said there was nothing else to do...so what did I do when I found this out? Locked myself in the med room and cried for half an hour, pathetic, but necessary sometimes). I pulled myself together, did another admit, worked till midnight (left a lot of work for the people the next day because I coudn't fix all the problems with the chart audits on my shift and I sure wasn't staying until 2:30am again!

Saturday: I got up at 7am to make Pauls lunch, went back to bed and slept until 11:30!!! Crazy I know, but it felt sooooo goood. Then I unpacked and organized my craft room. (So fun!). Then Gabe came over at 3:30, I gave her a tour of the house, we played around on the house "jungle gym", made taco's and a vegi platter for dinner and waited for Paul to get home. Paul got home at 7pm, we ate, watched Tuck Everlasting, drank Mike's Hard Lemonade and ate cake as a new house celebration. We went to bed at 11pm (the earliest any of the three of us had gone to bed in as long as we can remember!).

Sunday: We woke up at 8:30 not tired one bit. I played on the computer, unpacked, cleaned a bathroom, took a shower, got ready, then went to Steve and Kathy's house to meet up with Amber and Joe to go to the Home Remodeling show in Seattle. We did that whole shindig, then went to lunch at Bistro 663 (best Chinese food everrrr) then went to Uwajimaya (Japanese grocery and accessory store) then went home! At home I organized the entire closet (still need to get pictures of the finished product, so much better than the one I am posting), watched tv, made dinner, organized the garage, and just hung out with the hubby. So so so awesome. And here are the pictures.

Moving day. It snowed like 3 inches...but was all melted by 8am the next morning because it rained all night. Haha.

Making taco's and vegi platters for dinner! I don't know the last time Paul and I sat down for a dinner together and it felt sooooo good. And it was so good to have Gabe there too. I miss her so much.

The living room/eating area.

The kitchen! We are keeping it yellow for now, I really like it. Oh and I love having a pantry, and a dishwasher, and a garbage disposal, and a refrigerator big enough for all the food we want to eat, and a gas range. I would have never appreciated all this had I not lived in such small apartments for so long.

The stairs, the downstairs bathroom (with ugly tile and an ugly border that will change sometime in the next year), and the wonderful closet under the stairs that holds the vacuum, dvd's, and games!

The bedroom, the first room I set up. It is finally all cleaned up so I will have to take more pictures of the closet and sink area. :)

The lookout from upstairs, and the hallway views

The laundry room, and spare bedrooms. We are picking up the guest bed tomorrow but poor Gabe had to sleep on the air mattress. We did have it blown up for her...this was just after she woke up.

Driving to the home remodeling show!

At the show. Paul and I learned about garage doors and their openers (we need to get ours fixed up a bit), rain gutter guards (ours are FULL of leaves right now), new roofs (we will need one in the next 5 years). Oh and Joe and I played basketball, so fun.

Bistro 663! Best food ever like I said earlier. You know it is good when you are the only white people in the restaurant.

Walking to Uwajimaya. Cold but so fun. And Amber and Joe are adorable. :)

In Uwajimaya. They have aweseome stuff, seriously. The Mom and baby book says "I get to give birth AND change diapers!" Haha.

The end. Thanks for reading my ramblings. It's crazy not to blog for a week. I need to break this cycle for sure!
