All moved in

We officially live in Greensboro now! Hooray! Matt says we're never moving again. It took us about 7 hours to load the truck in Greenville and about 4 to unload it in Greensboro. We are about 40% unpacked and settled. Fortunately, school doesn't start for three-ish more weeks.

Fun things to look forward to include:
-August 1 - Papa turns 79. Dinner out sometime over the weekend to celebrate!
-August 1-3 - Dingo comes to visit (Matt's dog, who lives with Steve and Margo now)
-August 1 - Midnight football thing at Grimsley
-August 5-8 - Language Arts teacher training where I get to meet my fellow 6th grade language arts teachers
-August 9-10 - Smith Mountain Lake Wrenn family gathering
-August 9 - Cable, internet, and phone installed
-August 15 - Party at our house! Call for details...we still have our Greenville #'s

Yes, that's right, I won't have internet at home until August 9. We will be frequenting my parents' and in-laws' homes for access, but I probably won't be blogging much. :(

Pictures to come when the internet is hooked up. Mostly everything should be done by then, except maybe the guest bedroom. Yay!!!

More Jazzi

At Father's Day in Yadkinville, Jazzi and Corky had a great time playing. Jazzi is a little bit bigger than Corky, though. :)

Here's a video of Jazzi being funny. The oscillating fan kept blowing on her and her ears would twitch every time. So cute!

Please don't make me go!

This is how Mom feels about going back out to the house to paint tonight. :)

Back to work!

Sadly, after our lovely anniversary evening, I got up and drove right back to Greensboro to do more interviews and more work on the house. I'll post a few more pictures for your viewing pleasure, including one of Mom's bruise (she fell off the bottom step onto the carport on Saturday when we were leaving the house after dark).

Mom's bruise.

Daddy still had wallpaper stuck to his feet the next morning, but at least it's all down! The hall is going to look great!

Mom managed to get a stain in the shape of a chili pepper on her pants today.

Trying possible flooring options for the back bathroom (the one with the brown tile and the soon-to-be-blue walls). We're holding it up to the wall because it will be next to the darker brown tile when it is laid, but there's a white strip covering it up at the floor right now. I like this option because it will not show dirt or scratches at all. Plus, it is the closest match to the colors in the tiles.

And a close up of the same vinyl floor.

This is the other choice for that bathroom. I think it's too light and too yellow and it would show wear a lot sooner. However, I do like the pattern on it.

Here you can see how yellow it really is.

Margo stopped by this afternoon to see the house while we were working. It was fun to give her the grand tour, although I can't wait for it to be FINISHED so I can show it all off!

Also: Harold the AC guy came today, but he has to come back tomorrow with a taller ladder so he can get up in the attic and fix the broken pipe so the AC won't leak. Then it should be good and the house won't be 85 degrees or higher when we're working.

Lee at Lowe's has put the estimator's measurements in the computer, so all I have to do is go and tell him what kind of flooring I want and he will give me the numbers. I am hoping for some good financing options.

Tomorrow I am going to call Thompson's Pest Control again and see if they will come and spray ASAP. I don't think I really want to move in there until it has been sprayed.

Our Anniversary!

Monday, July 7th was our first anniversary as a married couple! (Obviously, if you've known us long enough, we've celebrated other anniversaries...in middle and high school, it was April 14th, in college it was December 21st, and later the anniversary of our engagement was September 2nd.)

To celebrate, we dressed up nicely and walked around Lowe's, looking at things for our house in Greensboro. :) Then we went to The Daily Grind for dinner. Yum! We had already exchanged gifts by this point (I got Matt a new grill and some "grill stuff" and he got me a bottle of expensive tequila, Cabo Wabo, and a gift certificate to a spa in Greensboro once I choose one.), so after dinner we went home and just spent a nice quiet evening together. After the craziness that has been our life for the last few weeks, I really enjoyed a quiet evening at home with my husband and dog.

More pictures!

Yawn! Not a lot of commentary tonight because I'm exhausted. Back to Greenville tomorrow to celebrate our one year anniversary on Monday!

Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy for now...more to come!
