Cheeks's Journal, 25 August 2009

Finally back online! Closed on our new house on the 10th….took the week off from work and just concentrated on painting and cleaning all week long. Its amazing how much we were able to accomplish in a week! My mom also took the week off and helped paint (we are talking 8am until 10pm every single day! And not one of us lost our motivation! Was a great team!). Hubby's mom was amazing too…she became our personal shopper (so we never had to leave the house for something we forgot)…and made sure that we had healthy lunch and dinner every day! Moving day came on the 15th…and 10+ of our family and friends came and helped unload the Pod…it was unloaded so quickly that they ended up also helping unpack some boxes, put together furniture, etc. was amazing (and exhausting). Every day since has been going to work (wishing we were at home working on it!) and then going home after a 9 hour day to do more painting….and of course any time on the weekends is spent doing the same. We only have a few more rooms to do (then its onto the outside to paint)! The previous owners haven't done any maintenance on the place in 12 years..so the walls are just sopping up the paint! Its crazy!

I feel like I've done a LOT of exercise getting the house painted and cleaned :) and are anxious to weigh myself to have a starting point again (once I find the batteries for the scale!). Just went to Costco and picked up some fresh veggies and fruit…..so good to have those items back in the house again! Another good thing with moving….all the junk food is out of the house as well…so the only way it will come back in…is if we buy it new now…..which we aren't planning to! Over this next month…we'll be painting the finished basement…and then setting up the exercise equipment….have my treadmill back from my brother now! Just need to set up the space now…and the rate we are moving with it now…it'll be done within 2 weeks! :)

Hope everyone has been staying cool this summer (its been super hot and humid on the east coast!)
