Another major change? We are officially living in our new home! We moved in last weekend and it was a crazy crazy weekend. This house is great. No more cramped, cold apartment. Just wide open spaces in the house. Shane now has his own office (the upstairs man cave) & I have no own office downstairs. Our guestroom and is up and ready for some visitors! The dining room/kitchen is good to go, while the living room just needs some art work hung and the master bedroom is waiting on our bedroom set and art work/pictures.
Shane's mom and one of his sisters came to visit while we were moving in, they were such great help. They came just before snow hit and left just as snow was falling on Sunday. Last night it snowed yet again....total accumulation of 8-10 inches with snow drifts have been recorded at up to 24 inches. Shane's new truck got stuck in the snow last night as he came home from work.....it was quiet the sight. My work got closed for today & school was canceled. So we are spending the day updating blogs, unpacking some more boxes, sorting out laundry, doing homework, and enjoying our new home.
