We aren't moving again for a VERY long time....

That's right....not until we absolutely have to!!! Tonight Greg and I had to move all the furniture out of all the rooms except the office because Greg and a friend of his are putting in the new carpet we practically stole from Home Depot the other night. The carpet we have is cheap, cheap, cheap and is not only ruining my vacuum (that's my problem really) but it has no padding underneath (I can't wait to see what's underneath, I wouldn't be surprised if they just laid a few newspapers for the padding) and it's coming up against the walls and the doorways. Whoever did it didn't know what they were doing and bought the carpet from what could have been the 99 cent store of carpet!

Anyways, I am sweaty, dusty, dirty, tired...and tomorrow afternoon we have to move it all back. On the positive side, we have been wanting to sit down and go through stuff and toss unwanted things and do some reorganizing and this will allow us to do that. We have been meaning to put the office and Freddie's rooms where we had intended and now we can do that too. When this is all over the rooms will all be where they should and we can breathe a sigh of relief.

Moving stuff is a pain....now I know why we bought a house instead of renting again, we won't have to move until we want to!!

Also, we had a fun surprise tonight...Greg was outside talking with a friend from work, Freddie was asleep and Karyl was watching Spongebob and I was dozing off on the LuvSac when I heard a knock at the door...Mele and her family stopped by!! The kids had so much fun playing and it was fun to sit and talk with Mele!! The men talked outside and apparently planned out the entire backyard (I'll have to post a pic of the blueprint) and we were informed that once we get it all finished we can expect to have all the Polynesians in the area lounging in our backyard...the plans are beautiful and include a waterfall, slide into the pool, my planter I wanted for fruits and veggies and even some sound and lights!! It almost reminded me of something you would find in Hawaii....a few palm trees and the smell of sunscreen and we'll have our own piece of paradise!

We have a lot of work to be done, but a lot of it can be done pretty inexpensively and it won't be done overnight. It was nice though to see the plans and understand and get a visual of what our backyard is capable of becoming. We're so thankful for all our friends and for their expertise and help.
