Moving in!

(Can you tell how hard I'm laughing in the above picture?)

We officially moved into our house on Friday December 28th!  With the help of family and friends we ended up doing the entire move just by trailers (thank you Brad & Dad!!) instead of renting one from U-Haul or Budget like we did with our ATL to CLT move.  We were so grateful for everyone who came to help us move AGAIN, especially our family that drove from Raleigh!  We promise no more moves in the near future!

Here is our crew of strong movers: Brad, Ky, Nick, Cory and Marsh!

And the ladies inside who were helping me unpack each box that came in: Molly & Kerry!

Emery even had a playmate for the moving day, her cousin Caleb!

They had a blast together and we are already looking forward to them coming to visit again!  Goodbye kisses :)

Caleb would get so excited every time Kyle came in the room... too cute!

A picture to show the chaos of our house during the move.  The previous owners decided to take their fridge even though we technically owned it from the contract so luckily our realtor found us a white one from another one of her clients for FREE.  It will turn into our garage refrigerator whenever we get a new one!

We were so thankful that Nick, Mom and Dad stayed to help us over the next few days after we moved in.  One of the first things on our list was buying new hardware & locks for the exterior doors as none of the locks worked reliably and we got locked out too many times to count!  Thank you Dad for doing this for us as well as helping Kyle caulk the kitchen, and being the brains behind the installation of all the toilets and washer and dryer!
Kyle and Nick spent the days organizing the garage, building furniture, moving storage up to attic and installing a new oven.  We really appreciated Nick coming while he was on break from Dental school... loved having you around!

Mom and I spent a couple hours over at the rental house cleaning it so we were able to get our security deposit back!  She also majorly cleaned our new oven at the new house, unpacked a ton of boxes for us, and of course played with her BFF Emery :)

Thank y'all for all the help again with our move.  We are so happy to call this place home!

Still trying to get a picture of Kyle carrying both Emery and I in the house (without me ruining it from laughing so hard), but for now separate pics will do :)
