We have been moving our stuff little by little. We closed last Friday, everything went very well :-) We didn't move anything in on Friday. We just worked on some stuff & made a trip to Lowe's. This was supposed to be a short trip to pick up a few things for some small projects. It turned into a 2 hour trip! I treated the floors, Josh started changing toilet seats and my dad started changing the switches, plugs & their covers out. They're almost done...just the top floor to go!
Saturday, we moved a few loads of the big stuff since my dad was there with his truck. We stayed & worked in the house a little, made a trip to Home Depot & had our appliances delivered. Later in the afternoon, we went back to the apartment to pick up another load & to meet our friend, Brian, who was helping us. This is when we got Bailey to take her to the house!
Her first ride to the new house. She loved being able to sit between us in the truck!
Saturday night we grilled out. We were going to buy ourselves a grill as an anniversary gift but my dad surprised us with one! Bailey loved being outside...but she got SO dirty!
She completely stuck her head down a hole (where I pulled up a dead shrub) here. She looked like a little pig. Later, we realized she was drinking water at the bottom of it. She had no interest in her clean water.
This is another picture of our back yard before.
We pulled up 3 rows of pavers. See that basket? It ended up being completely filled with weeds & rocks we picked out of our dirt, which is about 90% clay :-/.
Currently, we have little lettuce plants & an eggplant here. We're actually going to shift things around a little. The flower garden will go here. The vegetable garden will go behind it, farther from the pavers. We'll be making raised beds for the vegetables. Hopefully we'll get around to making them next weekend.
Bailey thought she was helping. But really, she was just getting in the way. She was in Heaven with all the sticks & weeds though. When I pull weeds, she'll try to take them out of my hand to play with them. It's so funny but it gets annoying after about 30 seconds.

Look at how dirty her face is!
On Sunday, we bought some things for our garden & started on it.

ReplyDeleteTyler is going to start auto mechanic school on Tuesday, so we're planning on coming home the few days he has off between the summer sessions. I think it should be around the 4th - I will let you know as soon we do :)
Congrats again, and the Bailey update is great! I like the "just like the non-stuffed toys they charge $12 for" comment, because it's so true! Everything is so expensive - I'm ready to have (+) not (-) income haha!
