Well, we got moved!
Actually on Friday night we went to look at a brand new dining set that someone had just bought from an expensive furniture store, but decided to move to Montreal at the end of the month. So this set was worth about $2000 and they decided to sell it for $500. We bought it immediately! The leather seats on all 6 chairs were still covered in plastic!
On Saturday morning we dropped off Layla at my grandma's house, picked up the moving truck, and picked up the dining set. Then we headed back to the condo and got a few things loaded before my uncle and my cousin's husband showed up. So they got most of the big stuff moved. My uncle said he heard travel was still not recommended around my dad's area so we weren't sure if he'd be there in time. My dad finally showed up and said conditions were terrible until about an hour out of the city. He was in 4 wheel drive for the whole trip and it took about 3.5 hours instead of 2.5. My brother was supposed to come but at the last minute his girlfriend decided she needed the SUV for the day and so he needed to be picked up
Of course she needed it at the last minute!
We got a ton of stuff into the house, and Scott's parents came and his mom cleaned the kitchen before I unpacked things, and that was really nice because it was pretty disgusting! We went back into the city and Scott and I bought pizza for everyone who helped. My brother's girlfriend showed up for pizza too, because it turns out she decided not to actually go anywhere that day and just stayed at home with their vehicle. Shaun could have used it after all.
Then we picked up Layla and headed back. SHE LOVES THE HOUSE! I thought we'd block her off in one area but I don't think we even need to. We put one pad by the back door and without fail, she has used it every time. Even in the middle of the night the first night, she went all the way downstairs to pee! I am so happy! I shoveled off our back deck yesterday and she was ripping around the yard like crazy
And last night there were a bunch of kids in the neighborhood playing on the street and she was right at the fence barking her little heart out
Last night Scott asked if I had a white sheet, so I pulled one out and he hung it from the ceiling in the top room. Then he set up his projector and we sat in our papasan chairs and watched a movie. It was awesome! I think we will be buying a pull-down screen for that area.
Anyways, we are very very very happy and I don't think it's really hit me yet that the house is OURS!
