We've moved!

Hi everybody! It's been an absolutely crazy week. The last time I spoke to you, we were moving out of our old house. After we moved out, Erin and I moved in with my parents for a few days and relaxed a little bit. We had a great time! I slept on a real bed for the first time in months :) I rode the motorcycle a little bit and enjoyed the best weather that Peoria has seen in a while.

On Tuesday night, we ordered Godfather's, which is my bestest favorite!!

On Tuesday, we closed on our old house. We met the new owner and his family and they were all very nice people. It turns out that his parents had recently retired to Greenwood, SC, which is just south of Greenville. What are the odds? Erin's car got its first oil change and prepped for the long trip on Wednesday. Wednesday morning, we loaded it up with all of the things that we couldn't pack in the moving truck (chemicals and things).

I spotted this gem in Tennessee. If you can't see it, it is a pink John Deere sticker on an otherwise nice Eclipse.
The trip down was nice...if uneventful. The Honda was a joy to travel in and we averaged between 35 and 40 MPG. Woohoo!

Erin stayed in our apartment for a couple days. Sam loved it there!

Erin's sister flew down to help out with the move.

On Thursday, we went for a nice warm walk down to McDonald's.

After that, we went to Greenville for a walk and for lunch.

On Friday morning, we closed on the new house with Mr. Matlock lawyer guy. Time to move in!


Our truck arrived (Thank the Lord!) on Friday morning, so we came home and started unloading .

Here's our empty new house:

Dennis came to help unload that evening.

Tada!

The Sears guys brought us our new appliances.

Here's our fancy refridgerator. It has an icemaker that actually makes ice. They are funny Korean shaped ice cubes, though.

Our new washer and dryer. They play songs. They barely fit in our laundry closet.

Ashley and Erin....takin' a break.

Now that the trailer is empty, here is our messy livingroom.

We got our Internet, cable, and phone set up yesterday, also. Email me for the new phone number. Hopefully, we will have this house set up for guests soon, so we hope everyone can come down and visit! (not all at once, though). See all ya'll later!
