Our new place

It's not really that new because we have lived in this complex before but this one is better so it's better for us!
We aren't completely moved in so excuse the messes but you get the gist! And you can tell why it's going to take some time to get all the way moved in... (lack of space)
This is our bedroom... both the bedrooms are the same size but we use the one that is right across the hall from the bathroom, that makes sense to us. As you can see it's awfully crammed, but this is a good thing because we will learn to consolidate. The bathroom. The vanity is taller than the last one we had, and they put in new linoleum and so it's fantastic! Some reason my flash didn't work on all the pics. This is the girls room. The hardest place to organize... Sami hasn't just kept to her big girl bed but she is getting there.
This is the dresser and closet. To save room I took the closet doors off two closets and put up curtains... it's cuter too! The laundry closet in the hall... the other place I put curtains... we haven't gotten them hooked up yet... we had to get a new cord to get it to work! The front room... and my piano we successfully got up the stairs... it was amazing our ward members are awesome! The dinning area... I am in the midst of organizing my craft cabinet and so this is a messy part of the house still! The kitchen, except for a few odds and ends on the counters it is pretty much all together it is fantastic, we have a disposal, and everything is in the perfect place I love it! I had my last piano lesson yesterday and my student gave me these beautiful sunflowers... i am not good at arranging flowers but these are so pretty! My poor swollen feet. And notice our amazing laminate flooring... before they had linoleum and it was only in the kitchen and not in the dinning area but now we get it in the whole area... it's the best! I love it! It camouflages things too well though, i stepped on a piece of glass on Sunday! My little Sami feeling much better today than yesterday. She got a horrible fever and last night after getting up a lot with her, it finally broke... so odd... thank goodness I thought to give her ibuprofen instead of the tylenol cold... she has been so good dealing with this move, although on Saturday while we were unpacking she grabbed the door handle and wanted to go... I felt so bad! So we talked her into unpacking her toys and now she is more at home! My fingers are swollen as well. I went to take off my wedding ring the other night before we moved and it almost didn't come off, but I couldn't get my CTR ring off and I tried everything. I never take it off, but it has been making my hands fall asleep like crazy, and last night it started making my finger hurt so my husband cut it off for me. I am sad because I have had the same ring since I was 14... you can see my tan line from where it was... A swollen faced picture of me... I am so ready to not be prego anymore it's awful... I am so swollen and uncomfortable. Maybe in 3 weeks lets pray! I pulled my groin muscles during the move and didn't realize it until I did the motion of pushing the box with my foot and than it dawned on me that was how I pulled them... they are getting better slowly!
Well enjoy... any suggestions on consolidation for us let me know... I did go through my dvds and vhs and have a box to get rid of so if anyone is interested in that or boxes let me know!

I know how it is. Despite having to heal from a C-section, it is a great feeling not to be pregnant anymore. I'm glad the move went well. We'll miss you in the ward.

hey there - i have been out of touch since last week. i have been sick all week, trying to get over it. hopefully it will go away today. you are all moved in. thats great. you did that pretty fast. =) you hate to give away a bunch of stuff you could sell at a yard sale, but you being so close to your due date don't feel like or have the energy probly to have a yard sale. i have so much stuff that i keep thinking i will need when we have a house. chris wants me to just get rid of it all. i could have a yard sale. it's a lot of work. so unless we can get someone else to do one for you...or have a storage unit to hold stuff unltil you are ready to do something with it...i guess goodwill it or see if you can't get rid of it on your blog or craigslist...if you have that much stuff. i have a bunch of vhs that i want on dvd b/c they just seem to be going out of style. =) erica beus just happens to be doing a swap meet this sat when we are having mary's open house, but that is a good idea to get rid of stuff and get needed stuff. you could host one, or i, at my house, more room here than your apartment...even though you aren't in our ward anymore. or do one for your ward at your moms or something. i forget you are gone. =( sorry this is long, i guess i should just e-mail you. the swap meet...everyone brings 2 good condition items to swap or just give away, and then anything left over that the owner doesn't want back goes to goodwill. you have light refreshments and enjoy company. anyways...one more thing. pull-ups.com is offering a free potty training success dvd while supplies last. i don't think you have started yet but it couldn't hurt to look ahead and get free stuff. thought you might be interested. ok well i will talk to you later. congratulations on the fair items you entered. =) have a great day.
