Almost there!

I apologize for the extended leave; however, I am happy to report that there has been some serious progress made on my new home. In addition, I decided to get a puppy about a week after I closed, which has slowed the unpacking process quite a bit. Watson is an amazing dog though, and now that things are beginning to settle down, unpacking has become much easier. Since my last post, pretty much the entire downstairs is unpacked and put away. It feels amazing to be rid of the boxes!! The kitchen is clean, the entryway and bathroom are put together and the living room is cozy. Now, nothing is completly finished, but here are some pictures of the progress on the first floor.

Mass Chaos

Now I remember why moving SUCKS. I love being a homeowner, but man, moving sucks so bad.... especially since I have no time to do it. Yesterday,my brother and I made a few trips back and forth dropping stuff off at the new place, and of course, yesterday's high of 99 didn't make the task any better. HOWEVER, 6 car loads, 3 stores, and a headache later, progess was made. The day before my parents and my amazing Uncle hung my drapes, finished painting the first floor, and took care of those misc tasks like changing the refigerator doors for me. Curtains hung with care.... ... in hopes that continued progress would soon be there. :) Well, in all the progress I realized that I am living in chaos, in both places. Some shots of both the apt and the new place:

Mattresses on the floor, clothes everywhere, I'm so thankfuk this is almost over!! Despite all this chaos I know progress is being made and that soon this will allllllll be over!! Can't wait!!
