The New House...Finally!

To say that the last 17 months have been a trial, would be a gross understatement. We thought that building our dream house would be a fun, exciting experience, but it was anything but that! Wayne played the role of general contractor as he was constantly on the phone to the trades and the real contractor to find out what was supposed to be happening then and what needed to be lined up next. Progress was made, but then something would go wrong and would set us back.

Well, we are happy to report that the house is done! We moved on the last day of January. I had said that it had better happen before February and it did...barely! We hired a couple of movers to load our dozens and dozens and DOZENS of boxes, 5 sofas, 5 beds, 6 dressers, a crib, a piano, a fridge and 3 big screen tvs, as well as other odds and ends. It took about 7 hours and two loads!
Thankfully, we had my parents and our friend Deb Duncan help us for the entire day! Wayne's parents kept the kids overnight the night before so we could finish packing and move without them under foot.
So, was it worth it? ABSOLUTELY! Now what are we going to do with all of our free time now that we are not having to hound the builder or the trades?!
