- Move-in Day[s] -

I had to scroll back very very VERY far to find the last "house post;"  hashing out odds and ends in November seems like eons ago!  Sooooo much has changed!  Life as we knew it is back in tact!  It's crazy to say that we've been LIVING in this shiny new house for exactly *6* weeks now, and it's even crazier to say that my terrible memories of the final few months of finishing work are slowly beginning to fade!  What?!  Yes!  Say it again for the people in back:  all of this ^^ is a 2020 miracle!!! 

In mid-November, we passed some kind of preliminary [?] living inspection and were given permission to unload our filled-to-the-brim storage unit into 'da house!  Uncle Blake helped Brian lift the bulky items while the rentsies + Margy and Steve worked on setting up beds and furniture inside.

Thanks, all, for your help!

While we were at Disney World, final living inspection #2 was taking place and *drumroll*..................WE PASSED!!!  Or, "Brian passed," I should say.  ;) :)  All of these codes are so crazy and all the rules so strict, but basically, this was the inspection we had to pass to officially be able to "live" inside the house.  [Final living inspection #1 went down the week prior to Thanksgiving, but Brian didn't know we had to have a clean air filter installed AND functioning, so getting all of that coordinated held up the moving process for a few weeks.  Anyway!  No time to air the dirty laundry; that headache is resolved and all is well!]  The day after we returned home from Disney, the kids helped pack up the rest of the junk/toys we had at Uncle Garett's...

...and just hours later, we were tucking the kids into their beds for the FIRST NIGHT SLEEPING AT THE NEW HOUSE!!!

Weeeeeeeeee, I literally never thought this day would come, but it's officially official:  WE'RE MOVED IN!!!
