Say goodbye to white walls!

Rob and I stayed up until 3:00am painting the house and it was sooo worth it. We couldn't get started until the kids were in bed and so it made for a late night. Also our living room, huge dinning room, and one of the hallways all had to be done so it was a BIG job. I have lived in an apartment for the last four years and have been surrounded by white walls... well no more! Also our rugs came today! Our little house is looking so nice! Here a few pictures of our living room... hopefully I will get pictures taken of some of the other rooms soon.

The top picture shows the color better! It is a nice warm light tan that goes well with all the wood and brick in the house. 

Now I'm going to post this fast before something happens :)

So I Suck at Blogging

We have been in Missouri for almost two weeks and we have been crazy busy... but I haven't posted anything... sorry. I tried posting a blog last night with a bunch of pictures on it and there was an error and I lost all my work. I was too pissed to do it all over again, so I didn't. I did post some pictures of our road trip on myspace. 

This is where I need your help... please tell me there is an easier way to upload pictures on blogspot. The one at a time thing takes forever! And then I can't seem to rearrange them on the blog... anyway let me know and I'll be able to post more exciting things :-)

One Apartment, Two Steel Boxes

Alright, our apartment is officially empty, and I suppose officially not "ours" anymore. All of our earthly possessions are packed into two "relo-cubes" that will be traveling across the country to this little place called Kansas City, Missouri. It took a lot of work, (did I mention we lived in a third story apartment?), and we are so thankful for all the people that helped us out! I wish I had some pictures of all our furniture and boxes filling the place, because no one thought it would all fit into the cubes. No one that is, except Rob... and he was right! Everything fit perfectly with a little room to spare. Today I am a little soar, but I'm ready to tie up other loose ends and start planning the details of our road trip. 

This is Rob's Grandpa who was so helpful packing everything up!

We were very tired, but we did it!

     

Saying Goodbye

As we plan our trip, pack up our house, we also have to say goodbye to many people that we care about. Earlier this week, I spent a whole day with one of my closest friends. We played, we talked, we ate, we lost a turtle, (its ok the turtle came back) and we ate some more. It was just a great day, and I wanted to share some pictures.

They learned about dirt and worms

We had coffee and scones

My cute little kiddos (above... not the cute blonde one below)

They love this little bed... but Justice was left out eating gapes by himself.

The Start of Blogging

My family is moving to Kansas City, Missouri in about a week and a half where Rob will be a Worship Director at a church. We are very excited about our new adventure but understand it will be hard for our family and friends. I decided that we should start a blog to keep in touch with everyone from home. I will try to post pictures of our move and of our road trip all the way to KC-MO (it's K-C-Mo for all you Oregonians).
