Moving right along

Still moving things around. It's getting there. We had tons of stuff in storage, so going through it all is taking a while. The kids are loving their new rooms.

I am taking the computer over there today. So it may be a bit before I post again. When I get the internet back I will post some new apt pictures. But I won't put them all in one post like I did the last time.

See ya soon.

It's official...

I finally went picture crazy. Well I have a good excuse. We got our keys today. I took the kids for their first look. We are all excited about it. Not so much about moving all the stuff, but just that it's ours.

Here's the view of the living room. It is to the left as you walk in. We had already taken the tour and the kids copped a squat in front of the automatic baby sitter.



This is the dining room, which is to the right as you walk in the front door.



This is the little wall between the hallway and the kitchen. On it is my perpetual calendar. This used to be my in-laws'. The kids (my hubby, his sisters and me) would always gather together and jokingly tell mom and daddy what we wanted them to leave us. I always said what I wanted was the calendar. So one year for my birthday they gave it to me. It's the best present they ever gave me. Other than my hubby of course.



This is the little welcome gift the manager left us. It's a soap dispenser, dish washing liquid, pot holders and a kitchen towel. The card says "Welcome Home. We are happy to have you here." Isn't that sweet?



This is the left side of the kitchen. Complete with stove and refrigerator.



This is the right side, with a dishwasher and disposal. Plenty of cabinet space too.



This is the hall closet. Yeah I know, but I have never had so much closet space.



And what's a hall closet without the hall to put it in? It's directly across from the front door. So you can see straight through to the master bedroom.



This is a little of the kids bathroom.



This is the closet in their bathroom.



This is the boys closet and their room.





This is the girls closet and room.





This is the washer and dryer closet.



This is the master bath.



This is the master bedroom.



This is the master closet. From right, to middle, to the left.







It's huge and I already have half of it planned for my yarn storage. Heehee!

This is the view from the front door.



This is the view from the living room window. I will always know where my car is. I could have had a better picture, but I was peeping through the blinds.



This is what the master bath looks like after I put in some trimmings. A woman my mom works with gave all these goodies to me. She recently re-did her bathroom, and had everything all neatly kept. The kids bath has some of this decor too, but just not as much.









After taking all of these pictures, where were the kids? Why right where I left them. But in their defense, they did just get out of school.



And Bethany was in her favorite hiding place.



And afterwards, while they were running around playing in their rooms, I built two book shelves. One for the girls' room and one for mine. The boys have one in storage.





It was a pretty exhausting day, but fun. More to come as more progress is made.

And as if that wasn't enough, my Steelers just won tonight's game against Miami!

Star Trek Tribute?

Just a quick little pop in. Have you heard Star Trek is about to have it's 40th anniversary? It would make me feel old, but I didn't catch the original broadcast. I must be from the re-run generation.

And speaking of Star Trek...I was reading Wil Wheaton's blog and caught an entry with a YouTube link. If you like Star Trek and The Simpsons it's pretty funny. And for all you knitters out there, see if you can catch the knitting content.

Tomorrow is the big day, so I should have some apt pics up soon. And for those of you who are leaving me comments, I am not getting my notifications anymore. So I will yell back at you when I can check them.

Live long and prosper.

Ahhh....Football!

It's that time again. I have been wetting my whistle with some NFL pre-season games. And now it's NCAA time in Tennessee! Boy and what a start. VOLS win it 35 - 18 against Cal. Nothing like an exciting game to get your blood pumpin.



Also there's the long weekend for Labor Day. So no school Monday. Hubby's work is holding a big tire sale and he made the sign for it. It is even in the right colors for the day.



He's multi-talented. And he is also very sweet. He got me to bring the kids over to see the huge Michelin Man they have up. You can see a bit of him in the sign picture. And then he sent us out for a late breakfast. We went to the Cracker Barrel. So while he toiled away, we were out enjoying the food.

It was a real treat cause we aren't spending anything extra since we are moving. In just a few more days we will be moving in. We all can't wait. There will be pictures soon.
