Aren't you tired of posts about moving?

When Ken and I first moved to Las Vegas, we still had our house in Arizona we were renting. Instead of packing everything up and putting it in storage we decided to leave all of our furniture in our AZ house and move it when we bought our house in Vegas. Last weekend we drove to Arizona with my parents and Ken’s mom and brother met us there. We rented a moving van and packed and cleaned the house. On a side note, I was traveling the weeks leading up to our move so our house was completely unpacked!

On Saturday night, after we had packed the whole house, the six of us went to dinner at Sand Bar.  Later on that night we meet up with some friends to have one last hurrah in Arizona! It was good seeing our friends but I wish we had gotten at least one picture of us all.

Here is a fun fact-Ken and my Dad were wearing the same sweater.  They were both trying to cover the logos in the pictures so no one would be able to tell. Cat's outta the bag boys!

We returned to Las Vegas late Sunday night and Ken, my dad and I unpacked the moving van.  We have been trying to tackle one room at a time when it comes to unpacking boxes. The house is a disaster! We have boxes everywhere, towels in the dining room, bedding in the living room, not enough furniture to fill up our 5 bedroom house…you get the point.  Since we have to live with this mess until we are finished putting everything away I figured I would share it with you. My last post I had before pictures….and below are during pictures. We still have so much work to do.

This is our guest room in the casita. It is the only room that is somewhat complete. Who wants to be our first guest?

On a random note, we cleaned our new house the night before we moved in. How cute are my Grandparents. They came over to help and they both were in our shower cleaning-my Grandma Shirley was spraying the cleaning solution and my Grandpa Al was scrubbing. I hope one day that Ken and I will have the love that my Grandparents still have today. I just love to hear stories of their early days being married and how far they have come! I truly love these two wonderful people.

We've moved!

Ken and I just moved to Las Vegas from Arizona and we have been living with my parents for three weeks now. While we are so appreciative of their generosity it is hard to move back home. We are newly weds (almost 2 years...we still count right?) and have a big dog and it is just plain hard not having our own space. The good news is that we are almost home owners. We found our dream home in February and should be moving in next week. I feel like our dreams are coming true and the pieces are finally coming together.

This is our new little neighborhood and our house is that
 one straight through the gate on the right!

By the way, if you have never bought a house before the process can be daunting.  Good thing my mom is our realtor and my boss is our loan officer. We are in the best hands possible. Not to mention that I believe we are suppose to be here, that this is a part of God's plan for our lives. No matter how stressful this has been we are so thankful to have each other to lean on. I couldn't imagine doing this without my best friend.  By the way, a little plug for my family, my mom is an awesome realtor and she would be happy to help you find your dream home too!
