On the Move

We know it's been so long since we posted on the blog- almost a year! Sorry we've been such slackers!! Needless to say, it's been a busy year. Our biggest news is that we have changed our address... we moved to O'Fallon! The months of April and May have been stressful with the move and weddings and showers and work, but we're finally moved in and we love our house!

The first thing we did when we got the keys was take down the wallpaper border in the kitchen. Um, 80's country is all there is to say. After many hours of scraping and peeling and sweating, we finally got it all down and painted over the leftover evidence.

very country...

to soothing sage green!


During the move, we had lots of help. Thanks guys!! The most traumatic parts of the day were getting the refridgerator out of the Wentzville house...






and into the new house. Once we got it into the new kitchen, we discovered it didn't fit in the alcove made for the fridge. We had to take out some of the baseboards and the desk/counter that was next to the fridge.

While the boys were working on that, I decided to wash the mattress cover. After asking to make sure the washer was ready to go, I loaded it and then started to get lunch together for the crew. While I was putting a sandwich on a plate I looked down and saw that the kitchen was flooding as water rushed under the wall that separated the kitchen from the laundry room! I think Tim and I saw it at the same time and the house thundered with me yelling "OH MY GOD!" because I was frozen in place and didn't know quiet else what to do. But don't worry, we soaked up the water with towels and the wet-vac, hooked up the sewer line to the draiage pipe and we were good to go. Now it's kind of funny... kind of.



There are still little projects we'd like to work on around the house. Luckily, I have the summer "off" to check some of the things off our list. Ha! But there is lots of room to grow...
