Well Eric and I got the keys to the house on February 2nd. That night we started cleaning the place as much as we could. On Friday, Eric's parents and sister came and we started repainting the whole place, getting rid of the dog slobber was first on the list. Then we ripped out all of the carpet (which helped with the dog smell a lot). Everything was basically painted by the time family left on Saturday night. We got some of our things moved in but most of it was staying in the garage till we got carpet. For a week before we got carpet our bed was on the ground on top of broken down boxes. Eric said " It feels like we are camping. Wipe your feet before you get into bed!" haha we got a good laugh out of it. We have slowly worked through little projects here and there. Almost all of the boxes are unpacked and we are getting settled. We bought a couch and a sweet washer and dryer. (laundry has never been so fun) haha. Over the weekend was part two of the house project. We widened the cat walk upstairs.
As you can see there was a lot of wasted space so we extended both sides to make a loft.
On this side we added 6 feet.
And this side we added 3 feet.
I really shouldn't say we. Eric and his dad worked really hard! They got so much done in 24 hours!! Its a work in progress and there will be more pictures posted soon.
Also I finished my first furniture project and I have to say I am proud of my work! My parents gave us there old headboard and it is a little outdated so I wanted to spruce it up a bit.
Before...
After!
Also our new ward is awesome! We feel so welcome and can't wait to get to know more people! Needless to say life is going really well for the Story's!
More Updates to come!!
