Our new house!!

I finally have pictures of our new house. I took them yesterday. I'll take a picture of Will's room when he wakes up from his nap. We just had a garage sale today and already took our left overs to the thrift store so I'll take a picture of our garage soon.

Moving out of our Laramie house

Day one of moving.

Last Wednesday we took a trip to Ft. Collins to sign the lease, move our huge television and leave one of our cars here. Here are a couple of pictures of that event.


My friend Roza who came down with us to help us get the house ready to move into. Fortunately the place was already cleaned so we didn't need to do any cleaning.

Moving is coming along

All of our closets are completely packed and the kitchen is completely packed. All we have left to pack are some toys of Will's in the living room and little odds and ends that will fill one box per room probably. Today I was able to get the oven, freezer, and light covers clean. Michael helped me clean our patio. Our address had been changed, we got our bills switched over. All we need to do is get some plastic wrap stuff for furniture, get the truck, load it, and leave. We are ready for the move to happen that is for sure.

Tomorrow we will drive down to Ft. Collins to take our T.V and some other odds and ends that don't fit well in boxes. I want to clean the bathrooms, kitchen, vacuum and if needed shampoo the carpets in our new place. Then on Thursday we will load everything in the truck and leave.

I am really glad we aren't moving too faraway from Laramie. I do like the people but I do not like the weather (it snowed here yesterday) and am looking forward to being closer to my sisters in Denver.

Boxes...

I have been very busy boxing up our items this last week and have no where else to put boxes really. Today I plan on getting more boxes and will probably be finished packing, aside from some clothes, toys and a few movies that is. Here are some pictures of our house piled almost to the ceiling with boxes.




All that we need to pack in our closets are our clothes!


Joshua has had fun drawing on the boxes.

Dot Art

While in Texas in January 2009 my cousin had Joshua and her daughter make some art using bingo doters. Joshua thought this was the best idea ever and had a blast. Since then the idea pops in my head that I should get some too but I never did. Well a couple of days ago, while at the dollar store, I found some bingo doters. I was so happy I bought all the colors they had (only 4), that night Joshua had a blast making pictures with these easy to use/mess free paints. Here are pictures of his creations!


My favorite one!








His first one.

Ft. Collins here we come.

We found out yesterday that we for sure got the town home in Ft. Collins! We are so excited to start this new chapter in our lives. About 4 days ago we put an add in the UW classifieds for our current town home. Since we are moving out 2 months before our lease was up we needed to find someone to finish our lease so we wouldn't have to pay double rent. We showed the house to 5 people two days ago and yesterday someone signed the lease!! We are so thrilled that we don't have to pay double rent now. I have been busy packing and actually don't have much packing left to do. Tomorrow we will be in Gillette and will come home Saturday afternoon, Sunday will be our last church service at our church here in town but we plan on going to the church picnics this summer so we can still see our friends. Then Wednesday we will go to Ft. Collins to clean up our house down there and will make the move the next day. It will be crazy but I'm sure we will be glad to be down there once we get there. I am really looking forward to slightly shorter winters!
