July 15 - Moving day

After we settled on the house on June 22, we couldn't move right away into our new house. First, our rental lease went to July 15th. Second, Househunters was coming to film us (more on that in another post) and we couldn't move into the new home.  and third, we wanted to get some things done before we moved in.

So my sister and husband and baby surprised up by coming up the weekend of the settlement. They bought a Little Tykes house, bookshelves, and tools to help us get our yard under control. We spent the weekend weeding the heck of the back yard and front yard. Once finished, we can see how beautiful and spacious our yard is. The kids ran around, playing hide-n-seek, and we ate off our porch. Everything we imagined how we want to live in this house came true!

Fourth of July came and went (we simply went to my sister's for the weekend), HouseHunter filming (another post to come) and then finally Moving Day. We did spent these weeks working on the house. I had a family member come and help with a long project list. We went through our home inspection report and fixed as much as possible that wasn't done through settlement. We fixed up all the electrical outside and in the basement (that we should had them fixed since they had installed it poorly and it was a safety hazard). We fixed holes here and there and made a long list of more projects to get done.

For Moving day, we were so luck to have Sandra and her family come up again and our friends Steve and Alfred, and our real estate agent, Tiffany her her fiance Craig, come help us move from Elbow Lane, PA to Boothby Drive, Delaware. We rented a truck (which only came out to be $200) and the loading began. Lucky everything was already in the garage since we have been living simple and within two hours we were ready for the trip to our new home. Lunch time and the unloading began. That box goes there and that one goes there. Wow, there's a lot of binder boxes here. O I forgot I had this - put it in.... After 3 hours it was done. We were moved in!!! Crib was set up, our bed was set up, and we were in our new home!

Thanks everyone who helped with this move and helping us start our new journey as homeowners.
