We've Moved!!!

We did it! And boy was it hard work. We moved this past weekend to our new home. We absolutely love it. It's more than I could have even imagined having in a first home. God is so good. We started this adventure actually two Saturdays ago when we had a garage house at the old house. I'm not a fan of garage sales, but we (when i say we I mean mostly Brandon) had a lot of stuff to get rid of. My husband is a very hands on "guys guy", but when it comes to memories he is such a sentimental sap and likes to hold on to everything. I mean we were cleaning out his closet and finding love notes from girlfriends from 8th grade. Come on babe, really? Your 28 and a married man now it's time to chunk this stuff. We did for the most part. My husband is also quite the collector. From football cards to X-Men action figures to antiques the man has it all. We sold a lot in the garage sale and sold some on Ebay too. His mom was also the avid collector of Barbie Dolls which is no doubt where he gets it from. Anyway we sold a lot of stuff despite the rain and packed up our house and moved last weekend. It only took 2 trailer loads, 4 guys, 1 girl and a dog and we were moved. We unpacked boxes, moved furniture around, and crashed out on Saturday. Unpacked more boxes, worked in the yard, and went to WalMart a lot on Sunday. On Memorial Day we took advantage of the great sales going on and bought new furniture, a refrigerator, and dishwasher. That's a lot of money spending, but we went to Ashley Furniture and bought so much (which we needed desperately anyway) that we got a new 50" Plasma TV. It's awesome! I will post pics soon of the house, but I have some more decorating to do first. For now here are some pics of the furniture.

We have the same coffee table! Our couch is too short for the table to lift up. So sad! Glad you guys are all moved!
