We are done...Finally!!

We are finally completely moved into our new house. We loaded up the U-Haul on Friday and moved everything out to "the QC". We are so excited. Thank you to Rick, Spencer and Kyle for helping us move, yet again. Luckily, now we shouldn't have to have anyone move us for a while. Carolyn took the kids over night on Friday so I got up early Saturday and started unpacking. Everything is done, but my crafts and Brady has to organize his computer stuff. We FINALLY got our gas turned on so we have hot water!!! Hooray!! It was hot enough that the water in the pipes was relatively warm, but the first step in was a killer. We also couldn't use our gas oven or stove top which made cooking really interesting. Today, everyone has come out to turn things on, Direct TV has been here for like 4 hours after being 8 hours late, the gas guy came at 7:45am and then the poor Qwest guy came during nap time and had to be quiet, we have rules in our house. We killed our first tail-less whip scorpion today, for those of you who watched the Las Vegas Fear Factor, the poor people had to eat them off of the card table. They are technically not scorpions because they don't have tails with stingers, they don't have a tail at all, nor do they have pincher claws. They also only have 6 legs and the ugliest feelers you have ever seen. They are about the same size as a scorpion and are very gross. It was dead under a box, thank you Blue Sky pest control, but still extremely nasty looking and kind of scary for my kids. I will take ugly over dangerous any day. They finished all of our maintenance from our walk through today after switching supervisors and they will regrade our backyard tomorrow. The landscaping company dropped off the first load of rock for the front yard and should start tomorrow or the next day. I get to go clean the old house tomorrow with my friends who were generous enough to help me and hopefully we will crank it out pretty quickly. I am anxious to be done having two houses that I am responsible for. I am so thankful for all the help that we have been given and for the ease with which we have bought, signed and moved into the house. Hopefully all will go well at the walk through at the old house on Friday. Our rental company was a huge pain in the rear end and I hope they don't try any punk action at the last minute. Wish me luck...
