Moving Day is Coming..

I figured that if I was going to get a blog posted this month I better do it now, because with any luck we will be MOVING this weekend! At that point it will just be pure chaos between traveling for Christmas and trying to get the house set up. The only bummer about getting ready to move right now is that I probably won't get to set up a Christmas tree. : ( We just decided that there wasn't much sense in dragging everything out just to move it or to take it down right away. I guess I can deal with one Christmas tree-less Christmas. Everything else is as finished as it's going to be in the new house for the time being, with the exception of the carpet. They're supposed to be coming sometime this week to get it installed, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it happens. They'll probably get a friendly phone call from me tomorrow just to make sure! : ) I'm really happy with how the house is looking. The walls and paint look great, along with all the new light fixtures and fans! It's amazing what a big difference something that simple can make. One of the next big things we will do is to hopefully buy some new furniture. Here's hoping for a big tax return!! ; )

With all the time we have been spending on the house, time is just flying by! Mason and I both get out of school next Wednesday for break already, and then we will be heading to St. Joseph to his mom and step-dad's. From there we will be heading to Iowa to see my family, and then we will head back down here to get the house slightly organized before school starts back up. It's going to be crazy! This past weekend Mason and I celebrated Christmas with his dad's side of the family and then over at his dad's. It was really great to see everyone and we had a wonderful time, especially getting to play with our nephew Carson! He looks so much bigger every time we see him! Seriously, who wouldn't love that face?!

Anyways, that's about all that is going on in our neck of the woods. If you have been keeping up with all the house pictures that I've been posting on Facebook, stay tuned, there will be more coming! We hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season and we are looking forward to seeing many of you very soon!! : )
