It's Moving Week!

Good morning!  Last week after I signed for our new house, the kids found the hose and sprayer and had a blast spraying each other while my mom and I were cleaning and putting things away.  After they were done playing outside, they came in and made the dining room their spot.


Xander put together his new Lego set.  With some help of course.  I found a bunch of random pictures on my phone of his figures.  He must be proud 😂


On Wednesday, the kids went home with Nana so I could get cleaning done at the new house.  Then when I came back up to VA, I could finish the packing.  She's been a huge saving grace during this move!

I also had the locks re-keyed.


On Thursday, I had the security system installed and the refrigerator delivered.  

When I bought the appliances (fridge, washer, and dryer), I had them scheduled to be delivered on Monday night (11th) between 4 and 8.  Monday morning I received a call that the fridge, dryer, pedestals, and connectors would be delivered in the next two hours.  Well, that wouldn't work.  I didn't even have the keys to the house yet.  So I set up delivery for the next day.  Tuesday morning I receive an email stating they were rescheduled for the 14th.  When Thursday came, everything except the dryer was delivered.  Even though it was on the email and order that stated it would be delivered with the fridge.  
I ended up calling customer service because I was tired of being a bouncy ball.  I now have the washer and dryer scheduled for delivery on the 22nd.  All I have to say is I better have them on that day!  So annoying!

But, I do love my fridge.  Xander picked it out 😊


As soon as the security system was installed, I loaded up the van, set the alarm, and headed back to VA.  It was so good getting back.  It was also so weird just Nick and I.  No kids interrupting our conversations needing to show us everything.

On the drive home, I had a service light come on.  I just had service three weeks ago, so I ended up taking the van back to the dealership.  They checked all the levels, made sure there wasn't a leak, and reset the maintenance light.


I came home and took down the trampoline.  It wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be.  I watched a YouTube video to see the best way to go about it.


We've been FaceTiming the kids almost nightly.  They are having the best time and I know they are in good hands.

They made cute notes for Nick for Father's Day and were so excited to show him.  He's a great dad!


I'll be back next week with another update.  This week is crazy busy.  I really haven't been taking many pictures.  Packing is not something fun or fun to photograph.  But, everything that I need to pack is done!  Finally.  The movers will finish the kitchen, pictures, TVs, and breakables.  On Wednesday they will load the truck.  I'll drive down to NC, they'll unload the truck.  Nick will come help me unpack the kids' rooms and put up TVs.  Then he'll head back up to VA to continue with school.  It'll be his first time in the house since it's been ours.

Have a great week!
