Changes Changes Changes

*Warning this is a pretty long post!* * I also wrote this on Monday but do not have internet at the new house. Hopefully soon though!
Well we are all moved into the house! Mostly everything is put away thanks to a couple easy days with nothing to do. I am missing a bag though. I can’t find any of my shorts. I have no idea where they could have gone. I can’t even think of what bag I packed them in to start looking. All I know is that all bags here have been unpacked and are completely empty! Hopefully they didn’t fall out of the truck on the way here. I still have a few more clothes at Mom and Dad’s that I am trying to get when I am down there. I think about 3 more duffelbags and I will be set. Yes, I have a lot of clothes, but in my defense I have been weeding out quite a bit in the moving process. I have a storage tub full of mainly t-shirts that I am finally parting with! Now it is just decorating. I have put up quite a few picture frames and other stuff that we got at the shower so it is starting to feel more and more like our home but I would still like a few more things. We are trying to hold out until the wedding to see what we get and then using some of our gift money to get the other things we need. I am trying to not go overboard because I figure it will all come together eventually and there are more sales everyday!
Right now the dish guy is here setting up our television. I know it isn’t essential for us to have t.v. but we decided that for $30 a month we would pay for it. Cable doesn’t come out to where we are which we were hoping for so we could do a bundle with television, phone and internet but no such luck. We are still working on the internet and hoping that maybe the county wireless will reach out here. I also need to call Verizon to get our phone set up because our cell phones are not always reliable out here and my phone has not been holding a charge very well. I am sure it is time for a new battery but I don’t think that is going to happen anytime soon!
Wedding stuff seems to be getting into motion again. Thank goodness since it is only about 2 ½ weeks away! We have started on favors and they aren’t taking too long. I sat down Saturday and pumped out about 60 in 3 hours. I know it seems like a lot of time for things people are just going to rip open but I think they will look so cute on the table! Mom and I are both working on the 2nd step when we can so hopefully that will make it go a little quicker. Plus in that 3 hours I cut the paper too and that is all done so now it shouldn’t take that long at all.
We are going to the church today to try to figure out how to decorate there. I really don’t want to do a lot because we have to tear it all down before we leave for the reception. We were just going to do some ribbon along the railing but when we went last week decided that people wouldn’t even see that once everyone was standing up there. We are meeting with the florist who attends the church so hopefully she will have some ideas for us.
This week we are going to start on the books again I think. If we can just get a couple days where we work for a good portion we will be good. Right now it is just attaching all of the parts. Most everything is cut out we just have one more page to do with our address and a place for people to upload pictures too and now we can do that because it is all set up!
Pat just left for his first day at Hertz! I think he was pretty excited to start and even more excited he didn’t have to be there until 10. Hopefully it will be a good experience for him!
