Move In Update

Ok, I know it's been a little while but we've been, well, busy! Our movers unpacked the stuff we hadn't seen for three months on the 16th - the morning after we arrived. Since then, we've been living in a sea of boxes. It is, however, getting much better.

The first floor is in pretty good shape. The kitchen is set and the family room is livable. The study is a complete wreck. We've downsized our furniture in there and don't have the storage we once had. That just means we have to throw away the junk we once kept at our finger tips.

We bought new furniture for the dining room as well as for the boys and Kailee's bedrooms. It arrives tomorrow, so all their stuff is laid out everywhere upstairs to make room for the delivery. They are very excited about getting new bedrooms. Kailee has chosen a retro-like them with large polka dots in pink, brown and tans. The boys are going with a outdoor rustic look with elk, bear and moose figures. Ben wants a mounted deer head on his wall. Actually, I think it would look pretty cool!! - we'll see.

Tonight we went to a local shopping area where they show movies outside on a large inflated screen in the parking lot. It was pretty cool. Everybody hangs out on lawn chairs and blankets and watched Shrek 3 just after the sun set behind the Rockies in front of us. Everyone had fun, we actually went with our new next door neighbors.

Tuesday we'll be going to see the local minor league baseball team - the SkySox. More to come on that...
