We're heeeeeeeeeeeeere!


Well we're officially in the rental!  We spent the last two weeks moving in... slowly.  Thanks to all the parents for helping big time on the weekends!  We do still have some things at the old house hanging out in the garage... but not much.  I'll give you a small tour of the new place as we finish unpacking each room.  All the rooms are pretty sparse, as we don't plan on really decorating due to not being here long.  

Here is a shot of the living room.  We're in a split foyer, so it's a pretty open concept upstairs when it comes to the living/dining areas.  The bedrooms are pretty tiny, so that's our armoire and nightstand from our bedroom set.
 Now that chandelier is TOTALLY NOT our style, but seriously... how cute would that look all painted up in a little girl's bedroom?!  Hmmmm... perhaps I can make a deal with the owners. :)
 Our room.  Berkley's little bed BARELY fits between our bed and the dresser, but it works.

 This is Berkley's room.  She actually has the biggest room... ironic I know.  To be honest, our furniture and the girls' bunk bed just fit better in the other rooms due to window placement.  I didn't want Reese and Emma Grace falling out of windows... can you imagine?  Oy.  We're also not too worried about window treatments in here yet.  She's not sleeping in here right now, and we're not too excited about spending money on window treatments, when we'll be leaving.  Trying to save the funds for the new house.


 Here is Reese and EG's room.  By far the smallest, but all of their toys are in the basement... which is not photograph-able at this point. :)
 Hopefully we'll get to start taking pictures of the progress at the property soon... should be breaking ground by the end of the month!

Clearing out

We're slowly clearing out.  My dad and Kate came into town this past weekend, and they were SUCH A GREAT help.  I can't tell you how many loads of stuff we took over to the rental.  The plan is to hopefully get the rest of it moved this coming weekend.  My mom will be in town to help, and then Bryan's parents will be coming with their truck.  We have a few big things left, but all that's left are all the little random things and food.  Here is the progress we've made so far...







 Here's where things get humorous.  We haven't had any time to keep up with the weed situation.  If we were still on the market, you better believe we'd MAKE time to keep it looking stellar.  Frankly pulling weeds that belong to someone else is not on my radar.  Mr. and Mrs. Leng will be very busy. :)
 
We're almost done with Operation Move #1!

Less than a month...

 Less than a month until we close.  Thank god we sold before this baby got here because this is how we are currently living...
 FILTHY I tell you.  All because of this little thing...
 We have yet to sign our lease for our rental but are set to begin moving in on the 15th.  I've been packing my little heart out, but Baby Berkley tends to only give me a couple of hours in the morning.  Still a ways to go for sure.

As far as the build... we've made our changes to the blueprints, had the land inspected for the placement of the house, and the septic people did some testing as well.  Bryan has been working on cutting some small trees down.  The plan is to break ground some time in June. 

But before that happens... Operation Move No. 1.
