We made it

We made it! We are officially moved into our new apartment. Chad started moving on Friday while I was at work and thanks to a bunch of wonderful friends the move went very fast and they were completely done before I got home from work. Thanks to everyone that helped! This weekend was mostly spent trying to dig out of the boxes and get things a bit organized. Although there is still a ways to go before we are completely organized and settled in at least it is livable now and not as many boxes all over the place.

We've also made it to finals week. Chad has his first final today. Good luck Chadley! The poor guy spent most of his weekend studying. In 10 short days he will be done with his first year of law school! Wahoo! One year down, only 2 and a little bit left. (I like to just say 2 years to make it seem a little shorter for me)

Packing up

It's official! We are moving apartments in two weeks. We are moving from the North end of town to the East side of town. One of the best things about this move is that we will be by the new Wal-mart! No more 27th Street ghetto Wallyworld for us! However, we are moving on Chad's last day of class right before finals start. Yep, talk about timing! But it is when it had to be done. Now it is crunch time for me to start packing things up. I packed a few boxes over the weekend and that was it. Sometimes it's hard to know where to begin when it comes to packing up. Hopefully I will be able to get most of it packed up this weekend and not have to be stressed about it anymore. Here are a few pics of our soon to be new home.

This is the part I am the most excited about.....more cupboard space in the kitchen! Too bad the barstools in this picture are not included.

Visitors!!!

I am behind in posting this, but this was probably the most eventful part of March for us. Chad's parents and four of his brothers came up to visit us from Missouri a couple of weeks ago. We loved having them here! On Thursday night Chad and I went to dinner with Teri and Steve. It was so nice to be able to sit and spend time with them. Friday morning we left for Omaha and headed to the Winter Quarter's visitor center. One of the fun things about this particular tour was that we knew the sister missionary there since she had served in Lincoln. She had the little boys dress up like pioneers and they looked so cute. Then we wandered around the cemetery for a bit, but we didn't last long because of the freezing wind. Then we went to the walking bridge in Omaha that crosses over into Iowa. Even though the wind was pretty fierce at times we had a good time. We decided to cut our time short in Omaha because of the cold and head back to Lincoln where we played games and ate yummy food. Saturday we had them all over to our apartment for breakfast that morning. Boys sure do eat fast! I don't think I've ever seen so many pancakes be downed so quickly! Thanks for coming and visiting us! We loved having you!

The boys packing their wagons. Jeff was highly organized in doing this, but unfortunately nothing made it into his wagon before the time was up. :)

The little pioneers.
