Moving Days!!!

Well we closed on our first house last Friday! It was actually a huge weight lifted to finally have all of it coming to a close, but now the work begins. Thanks to our wonderful parents we had a lot of help the first weekend, we got a lot of little things moved, my mom and I cleaned and disinfected, and Luke and his dad put together a piece of furniture... very productive! This weekend we are going to get all 3 bedrooms painted, and Saturday our subdivision is having its annual block party, we are going to go meet all our neighbors, we have already met the 5 by us, and they all seem really nice!
We've had a few visitors so far but are looking forward to seeing everyone... stop by soon!!
So to answer your question about the poll.... The 29th we have movers coming and we will be all in, thank goodness for that!
Here are some pictures from our first weekend we look forward to many great memories here!

Weekend Getaway

A few weeks ago, Luke and I both took off on a Friday and set out to get away, we stopped in Effingham to see his sister and her four fabulous children, They have a great house with a ton of land for the kids, Angie made us these great sandwiches for lunch and we all hung out, then we set out to my grandparents, I haven't been there in SO long, I will a little rough on those country road directions but I got us there, It was fun seeing the farm and seeing them, we got to go to dinner with some other aunts, uncles, and cousins that it was really good to see too, and then we stayed up late playing domino's with my grandparents, I think grandma Ad was the Champion. In the morning we set out to go to Chicago, Luke had never been there and I love Chicago, we also got to visit some friends from college. We ate, shopped, and enjoyed the city, all in all it was a great weekend and we look forward to doing it again soon!
