Crazy Life...

As anyone knows moving is crazy enough...but let's just say we had the craziness of moving and pretty much gutting this new home....to say it needed some work was an understatment! (Correction...in my opinion it needed some work!) So before we closed on the home I had our old home all boxed up and packed away...I wanted to be ahead of schedule so that once we signed I could move forward and start the dirty work on the new palace.

I had some amazing helpers every single day! They all SAVED me!!!!!!

Here are a few before and after photos...Here is the main family room wall.

Empty stairs...yeah, NO MORE GROSS carpet!!!

 

Office picture...I don't have the finished photo yet...it's becoming darling each and every day! I'll post this one soon.

No more weeds!

 

Good bye brown trim...HELLO white...You are so beautiful!

Spraying the trim was a mess, and a messy job. A huge thank you to my Aunt and Uncle with the talent and skills to help us do this BIG HUGE MESSY job!

The other main wall in the family room is really tall...the builder had put in plant shelves...honestly they were too high and such a odd design that it would only drive me crazy...so we had them removed! Oh, it look so much better!!!

Then down came the ugly stone around the arch on that wall...so much better. Pictures to come soon.

White doors.

White Masterbedroom

White closets.

The view from the dining room to the main room...it was a MESS. Oh, I am so glad this mess and filth is OVER!

Pre- moving day, garage.

The kids favorite job...water the plants.

And Jake being a great big brother and moving Ben around...and keeping him happy while we flutter about being too busy!
I'll go around and take some updated photos today....What a crazy whirlwind this month has been. It actually hasn't even been one month yet. But from where we started and where we are now, it's AMAZING the transformations that have taken place. It feel soooooo good to be some-what settled. We love it here. The funny thing I've learned through all of this is that life just keeps moving on. The regular responsiblities of life don't go away just because of the extra mess...laundry, kids, breakfast, lunch, dinner, meals, homework, ballet, church callings, etc. It's been quite the juggling act. But I can see a small glimmer of fresh air coming soon. Jared and I are so humbled by the level of help we have recieved it's been amazing. So thank you one and all for all your HELP!!!! Because we sure have needed it! THANK YOU!!
