No Pictures?

I know I promised updated pictures of the house but things have just been so crazy lately. I honestly can not find the charger for the camera to take pictures of the painted walls so I can than upload the pictures to my computer. I know it is in the house somewhere, it is just buried in a box waiting to be found.

The move into the house was long and tiring but we did have a few helpers that made things go much easier. Joey (Chris' Mom), Jane (Ann's Mom), and Kate (Ann's sister) came over and helped us out so much. Joey not only helped with moving but she also helped paint, clean, unpack, and decorate. We are getting there slowly but surely and I promise to post new pictures as soon as I find the battery charger for the camera.

It has been a very productive few weeks for Chris and I. We of course still have a very long "to do" list with a shopping list for Lowe's or HD but it is slowely getting smaller. We were able to find a refurbished stove and dishwasher from the "mom and pop" shop named J&J Appliances off of Mississippi (where we bought our recent dryer) for only $245 for both. They were also able to fix the refridgerator that was left inside of the home for only $150. It feels good to purchase appliances and know that they are yours. Kind of scary too b/c if they go out we get to replace them ourselves. ;-) The kitchen feels better though and livable now that it has appliances.

Last night we met up with Mary (our landlord for the townhouse) and turned in our keys. We than towed the Honda (which was still in the garage) to the auto body shop from the townhouse so it can finally be fixed. Chris' accident was in mid August so it feels good to finally have that situation moving along. We than (of course) watched the first Bronco game of the (real) season last night, it was good to end the evening with the Broncos kicking some Raider butt! ;-)

Hope all is well for everyone and we will chat soon!
