Who Knew?!

Who knew it was so easy to put a few pictures up and sell appliances on craigslist?! I need more stuff to sell!!! We sold all the kitchen appliances to one person within 48 hours. We met with a couple last night who gave us money for the washer and dryer and will pick them up Friday or Saturday! It certainly helps that we asked very little for the appliances. I really felt like we couldn't ask a whole lot, considering we didn't know the age of the appliances or how well they worked since we have never used them. PLUS, most of the kitchen appliances were COVERED in grease! (One of the major motivations in selling them!) The few hundred dollars that we got for them is being put towards new ones! We got a great combo deal at hhGregg on pretty, stainless steel, CLEAN, new appliances that will be delivered on Monday!!
The third flooring guy that we hired is supposed to start today! I hope, I hope, I hope!! I can't wait to see those floors! We have awesome friends coming Friday afternoon to move the big things - beds, dressers, couch, table, etc. We will be camping out on the air mattress at the apartment through the weekend until we have appliances!
The counter-top people are measuring for their template on Monday. New counters will be installed in 2 weeks!
Moral of the story...Moving is STRESSFUL! But hopefully it will all be worth it. Now...I should get back to packing...blah.

Mommy's Peanut is so cute!



Update on the house: Our friends Ben and Amanda came over for the second weekend in a row to help us with the house. Their project was to get the paper laid that goes under the hardwood floors. Of course, Amanda reminded us that we had to sign our names to the sub floor!



The tar paper is down and the dark bamboo flooring is ready! However, the floor guy that was supposed to start 8:00 am Monday morning, decided that blowing his knee out sounded more fun than installing our floors. He called Craig at 7:30 saying that he was loading up his tools and blew out his knee! So now we are scrambling to find someone who has the time and can do it for the same price!! This really hurts our timeline. The floors have to be installed before the counter top guys will come measure the re-installed cabinets. The counters will be installed 2-3 weeks after they measure for the counter top template. We were really hoping to have a kitchen by the time we moved in at the end of this month!


The Lindley family came for a quick visit on Sunday! Grayson brought his mohawk and fluffy sideburns!



Step 1 of finishing the cabinets: sanding! Messy, time-consuming job!



Craig and I got to run up to see Sarah and Grayson last Tuesday. Grayson and Craig had a good nap together.


Precious!
