Well, Matt and I made our first Gigantic purchase on Monday September 19th. And we are now home owners. We were so excited that Monday after we yanked the key out of the realtor's hand (before he changed his mind) - we went over to the house. We walked through it again and then, we just started working like crazy. We ripped out all the nasty carpet. We swept and mopped the downstairs all the way through. I am quite sure that we used a gallon of lemon scented pinesol. :-) That was day 1.
Day 2: We went back over to the house and I cleaned the upstairs rooms - cobwebs, swept, vacuumed, and mopped. Then, I started attacked the bathroom. Yuck! Matt was working in the yard - trimming trees and mowing. Dorie and Kristen showed up and they wiped down walls and cleaned windows. Finally - exhausted, we headed back to the Ghetto.
Day 3: We had 1 truck, 2 suv's, and 3 cars all lined up with the trunks facing the side walk. I should have taken a picture. It was quite humorous. We loaded tons and tons of junk. (Literally - Matt has lots of junk - hee hee.) And we had a nice caravan over to the "new" old house. Rachael & her b-friend, Kevin, Beth, Dorie, Kristen, and us of course all unloaded the stuff until about 9:30. We went to pick up a loveseat and we returned home once again EXHAUSTED!!!
Day 4: That would be today. We hope that finally that water will be turned on today. We plan on doing a little more packing - mostly the kitchen stuff. We desperately need to buy a fridge ASAP for the new pad. Or we could just lose some weight - that'd be good too. Anyway. That is where the story ends as of today. Check back in and we will try to upload some pictures. :-)

Good morning :-). I've been "bugging" your Mom about your progress, whether you had moved, etc. so she sent me your Blog (a totally new word to me!!) The only thing is, I didn't see a new address?? or else I missed it somewhere. Would like to have it so I can do some snail mail.. I've been thinking about you, and I know you're really excited!! It will be a lot of hard work, but what a sense of satisfaction when you look back! God bless!! Love you lots - Aunt Mern
