It was a very stressful few weeks while we packed up in NY and moved to Iowa. I will try and make a long story short (few people ever read everything you write anyway-especially if its really long)
June 5-9 - packed up our tiny apartment
June 10- hit the road and said good bye to NY! will we miss it? most things-no; the people and the adventure-yes
June 11-12- drove to Des Moines- I drove our car and Jimmy drove the moving truck- 2 days by myself in the car- not very fun
June 12- We arrive at our beautiful house waiting for us!
June 13- We unpack like crazy
June 14- We go to our new ward and then I fly ba
ck to NY to finish school. I did not want to leave
June 14 (later)- flight gets cancelled and I am stuck in Chicago without clothes or a toothbrush.
June 15-18- Finish teaching at New Rochelle High School
June 18- Get stuck in Chicago AGAIN trying to get home-without clothes or a toothbrush
June 19- Jimmy drives to Chicago to get me and we drive home- I was done with airplanes
We are finally here and we are all settled in! We love our home.
Here are a few pics- its not decorated yet and our new couch is on order but its coming along.
We LOVE it!I am trying to do a picture tour .....
Our living room window over looking the front lawn
The entry way- I love my wood floors
Our bookcases are the only furniture in the living room- our old couch will move in here when our new family room one come
The living room connects to the formal dining roomThe hallway off of the front entry way leading into the kitchen
Powder room
Family room- I am painting next week!
Kitchen- so big and spacious!
I love looking out of my kitchen window!
We have a nice deck- and yes that is a corn field!
Off of the family room a door leads to our basement
We turned the bedroom into our dual office
Our basement is huge and we have absolutely nothing to really put in it yet
My little workout area- its a little sad at the moment- Jimmy has a weight bench we want to get from AZ
