We're In!!!!!

The day finally came. Friday night we stayed at the house really late cleaning, grouting, and making the final preparations to move in. May 2nd we made the big move. We had a lot of help from our ward to load up our U haul and had a lot of help from the new ward to unload it. I can't believe how much stuff we have. We were able to load the Uhaul, a huge van, and 4 cars and we aren't close to being done. (Close enough, though to get the rest later.) It was a lot of fun directing everyone where to put everything, although the rain made it challenging. We had half the guys inside with shoes off and the other half outside handing stuff off. It seems surreal that we are actually in and get to sleep here. I can FINALLY get the kids on a normal schedule again. We've been driving back and forth so much and getting home so late that the kids are all messed up. Here are the pictures before we moved in:

Here are the pictures after we moved in. Our bedroom, although this picture makes it look really small, is mcuh bigger:
Brooklyn's room:
Family room downstairs:
Living room upstairs:

Computer room downstairs:
We finally get a toy room!!! After everyone left Josh went back to the condo to get another load. So I decided to take the kids on our first walk around the neighborhood. It was awesome to be in a neighborhood and not on a busy street. I think we'll have lots of walks this summer.
The tub wasn't clean yet, so we had a great tub in the sink. The kids loved it, and it is much better in this sink than in the condo b/c here they each get their own side.

So glad you guys made it, although I miss you. Izac told me the other day that he wants to come visit Braden. I am also so jealous, we're still here, and so ready for a yard, playroom, and neighborhood!!! We "(Justin and I) are going to Hawaii next week. When I recover from that we'll have to get together.
