Finally settled into our house!

We are finally settled into our house after almost a week of no internet, cable, or phone. It is crazy how I realized how much I relied on these things for communication and general information. I was so happy today to get on the computer again and to turn on the disney channel instead of watching Pinnochio again. We got to our house last Tuesday and checked in and stayed the night for the first time, I was so excited. I had been out of our house for two months and living out of a suitcase, which got old very quickly. I absolutely love our house. It is great and one story. If you had been in our house in VA our bedroom was upstairs and our stairs were horrible and steep!! I dreaded walking up those every day after my shower, now we have a bathroom in our bedroom!! We have 2 bathrooms, yay!!! So, the movers finally got here on Wednesday about 2:30 in the afternoon and I can't even describe how overwhelmed I was. We had soooo much, and so many boxes!! this was nothing like moving to VA when we had a third of what we have now. It took the movers five hours to unload everything. I wanted to cry, we were slowly running out of room. Not to mention, every single thing we have is wrapped in heavy duty paper. We didn't get much done that day except for unloading the dishes and Harley got all of the beds set up. It was nice to get into my own bed again. So, that night the drama started!! When it started getting dark I went into the kitchen and I saw a lizard run quickly away from me under the stove!! I freaked out!! I once thought they were so cute, when they were outside. I didn't know they come into your house here and it is considered normal. Yeah, who would know that they love to come into your house and make it a home. So, that night even though it was so nice to get into my own bed, needless to say I sat up all night looking for lizards!Easton still gets up at least once in the middle of the night to eat and when he did that night, I got up to feed him. When I got to the kitchen guess what!! There was a lizard in the middle of my kitchen. I was horrified! I stood at one end of the kitchen for about 10 minutes waiting to see who would move first, me or the lizard, finally he ran under the stove. So, now there were two lizards that I know of in my house. That was a very sleepless night. Let's fast forward to today for a moment, I have started to actually like the lizards a little bit. I have started to get used to seeing them outside on our house and shed and I go up and like to look at them. Harley has had one of them fall on him a few times every time he opens up the shed, but of course he isn't freaked out at all, he is a man! He actually caught one the other day that was in our living room and once I saw it and how scared it was in the cup I wasn't afraid anymore. I think they are so much more scared than we are. I was so sad, I saw one earlier today that was on the floor and he was only a little guy and he was dead, I must have stepped on him. I was so sad I could have cried when I had to pick him up with a paper towel, Lee kept asking where his mommy and daddy are. Well, enough about lizards. We unpacked all day on Thursday until every box was empty, started hanging things on Friday and were completely finished by Saturday afternoon. It was hard work but I am so glad we are done. We finally made this empty house into a home and it feels so comfy now! If you are any of our family and friends back home who like to send us things, please don't, we have way to much already. I have made up our minds that we don't need anything ever again as long as Harley is in the military. I am not looking forward to ever moving again. The boys are so happy to have their own rooms and see familiar things again. It was like Christmas for Lee helping us unpack. Easton has been great. The day the movers were here he took a nap just about the whole time which made it easier on us. I will post some pictures of them a little bit later that I need to upload first. I thought I should just blog first and let everyone know that we are okay and settled into our house. Sorry, we haven't been able to contact anyone until now. Let me know if you want our address or phone number, I will be happy to share in email.
