It has been a while

This blog is very over due. Life has been a little crazy with moving work and coaching. So I will start with the most exciting thing that has happened, MOVING!!!! We are finally moved in and settling into life. This process was crazy though We moved out our house and into our friends house, which was only supposed to be about a week. Two weeks later we were still there and ready to give up on the whole thing. For those who have purchased a home you know that every time the phones rings your heart stops. It is either your realtor calling with more problems with selling or your broker wanting more paperwork or more signatures. After two weeks of this we were finally ready and were going to close on Wednesday the 13th at 3:45. So they call us at 2:00 and ask if Justin's dad (who is cosigning with us on our loan.) lives in Utah. No, that is why he has an Arizona address and phone number DUH!!! They proceed to tell us that they have to have him sign so they will FedEx him the paperwork he will sign them and send them back Monday they are closed Tuesday we will sign and Wednesday the 20th we would close. I was on the verge of an a anxiety attack and this sent me over the edge. The wonderful friends that we were staying with had their family coming into town so if we did not close on the 16 we would be homeless literally. Oh ya and Justin was leaving that weekend to do a volleyball camp in Miami Florida. We are calling everyone we can to figure out how to get this thing done, after much stress, and tears, we decided that the best way to do this is fly Justin's dad up on Thursday morning sign papers in the afternoon and then fly him home that night. We are so lucky to have such great parents that love us and are willing to help us. So we get him here, sign papers, show him the house and put him back on a plane home all in 6.5 hours. Oh and did I mention that this was valentines day, ya not the most romantic valentines day ever. So we closed Thursday, spent our last night at our friends house, woke up at 4:30 took Justin to the airport then went to work. That was the longest day of my life luckily there is never a dull moment in my class. After work I was able to go get the keys and go into our new home for the first time. It was bitter sweet because here I was in our beautiful home looking at all our hard work coming to Frisian and Justin was on the other side of the country. My original plan was to not unpack anything Friday night I was going to go to bed and rest and start fresh on the morning. That didn't exactly happen I couldn't help myself and got at least 70% of our stuff unpacked. Saturday I finished ever thing else. It was so surreal waking up in this place. This is the longest post ever! I am sorry. Here are some pictures of our new place.










Here is our Kitchen! Granite counter tops




























So that is the short version of the worst two months of my life. But it was all worth it to now be in and living in this beautiful home.

Your house looks so great! I am super jealous of your washer and dryer! Our house closing was really stressful too. Basically, Richard was driving all of our stuff cross-country, and we still hadn't closed on it. Maybe with all the stress, it just makes you appreciate and relax in your new home a little more.

I'm so excited for you guys! Don't you just love organizing everything from scratch?
