New House Adjustments

Things have just been a complete whirlwind since last Thursday. I officially bought my first house. I literally had been trying to buy this house for a year. It was such a long frustrating process. But in the end it was so worth it. 

There was no keys to the house, but apparently the back doorknob was broken so i literally had to break into my house to unlock the doors so i could switch out the knobs and get all new locks on the house. Thursday night Jason's covered the flooring and his mom started painting the ceilings. Friday is when the work began. I took the day off and so did his mom and we both literally painted all day long. We pretty much got the whole inside of the house painted. Saturday morning we went and did the final challenge workout (we got 3rd place) and then we went and started doing some final touches on the paint. 

After the painting was finished we pulled up all the plastic off the floors (there are really nice wood floors throughout the whole house, not an inch of carpet anywhere) and my mom came over and we started cleaning. It wasn't that the house was dirty from the prior occupants, but it was vacant the last 2 years so it was just dirty and needed a good scrubbing from top to bottom.

Sunday I finished up cleaning the kitchen and we moved everything in. Got the beds set up so we could stay there that night. Monday and Tuesday we got pretty much everything put away. Its still a mess cause there is random stuff things that don't have a home yet. But they will find their spots eventually after i go to Home depot this weekend and buy shelving for the closets.

Kendall is having a little bit of a hard time adjusting. Evenings have been a little hard, but her routine has been disrupted cause we have just been trying to get everything unpacked and put together. Our TV isn't hooked up yet so she has been watching movies and playing in her room and doesn't want to stop when it is bed time nor does she want to fall asleep. Its been a battle but over time she will adjust and we will start to get back into a routine. 

Tonight we are having friends over to dye Easter eggs so i hope by keeping her TV off and her mind occupied with the activity it will help her.

As soon as everything is put together i will be posting pictures.
