Day 132

It was so nice waking up in our own bed, looking out the door and seeing the light streaming into the kitchen. Ahh, we’re home!

Today we began setting up the furniture, cleaning the kitchen cabinets, and unpacking the kitchen boxes. We are planning on having our home group over on Monday night, so we need to get the house presentable enough to host.

This evening a bunch of friends surprised us and brought over dinner and gifted us with a steam mop! We are so touched by this outpouring of love, thank you Jesus for such great friends in our lives. It was nice to clean up the remaining dust all over the new floors.

Our new table set up in the dining room. We have enough room to keep it set up at its’ full length.

Thank you friends for such a nice surprise!

Day 125 | 1:00am Wood Floors!

February 1, 2014November 12, 2016Leave a comment

Kevin and Jason began installing the wood floor in the front of the house in the morning. Then Matt joined them in the afternoon, then Dayna came over, and then Mike… What a team of great help. We had a nice assembly line system of sorting the wood grain, passing the board/measuring, cutting the board, locking it into place, and nailing. With just a minor set back and having to remove multiple rows of flooring… we finished 2 bedrooms and half of the dining room and living room at 1:00AM. These friends are dedicated. We never could have finished this quickly without the help.

THANK YOU for working so hard to help us finish these floors!

HELPERS: Jason, Matt, Dayna, and Mike

Day 14 | THE Move

Day 14

Kevin picked up a U-Haul this morning and began getting the apartment ready for THE move. We couldn’t be more grateful for such great friends who gave up their afternoons to help us. We got everything in the apartment packed and into the U-Haul in about 1.5 hours and everything unloaded into the garage of the house in about 15 minutes! Until the house is liveable we will be house-hopping between our parents. We dropped off the truck and cleaned up our apartment for the last time.

We came back to the house and Kevin patched holes in the bathroom and fixed drywall, I removed the tack strip in the bedroom, and he put the handles onto our closet drawers.

Loading up the truck…

The loading crew!

Unloading the piano…
