Well.. Moving Stinks

We're moving.. well to my mother in law's house. Which has more space for us than my parent's house, where we are right now. Actually it's a whole basement. So we have everything except for a kitchen sink and a oven. But those are upstairs..

What a fun weekend we had...



Friday we decided we wanted to get the head board for our bed we bought a few months ago. Well that meant a trip to Ikea.. and going to Ikea for us means buying more than what we planned on.. We found a lot of gifts for people for Christmas. Which was perfect. Then it was to find the headboard in their nifty find your furniture area. When we found it, well it wasn't going to fit in Scott's car.. so that meant we needed to come soon with a larger car..

My lovely rug.. 
On to Saturday, let's get the headboard and go.. well I wanted to get a rug since the floor in the basement has a few stains, and I like pretty things. So BAM! we have a rug, headboard, and a few pillows.. I love pillows. When all of this gets put together I'll set it up.

Then Saturday was moving everything around in the house. The downstairs bedroom had a lot of crap from his cousin, who is storing her stuff there. So we okay, they moved  and by they I mean Scott, his sister Kristie, and her Fiancee Chris moved a lot of it. Up and down the stairs and even had to go to their house to put some of the cousins things there.  They even managed to shove a twin bed into a small closet. I spent a lot of time cleaning, vacuuming and just being supportive of their moving abilities.  Scott also managed to patch up a lot of the holes in the walls and repaint some of of the area.

But boy were we tired from everything. My body ached a lot, I could only imagine how everyone else felt afterward. My body is still sore.

We are planning on going back to ikea to get a small dresser draw thing. Since our awesome bed has drawers under it we need somewhere to put our underthings. Who knows what else I'll find, that I didn't the first two times. Oh, I'm going to return something too.. since I already have one.. oops!

The plan.. to be out this weekend. While the crazies are out shopping, we will be moving stuff in. Scott is painting one of the rooms.. it was pink.. I hate pink.. sorry. and we have his TV wall mount up already. This is going to be an exciting new chapter of our life.

Oh, I bought a Christmas tree too.. so excited to have room to put that up..but that's another story.
