Home Sweet Home

Well, we've made it so far... :) After some MAJOR help with loading, unloading, and driving the UHaul (Pace's Dad drove, he is amazing! Along with everyone else who helped, thank you! Seriously, you saved us! Thank you all so much!) By the 4th day Pace and I had worked non-stop to have pictures up on the walls, things put away, the garage organized and cleared out with cars parked in it (what a treat!) and nearly all the boxes emptied. It was tiring, but we felt great to be home and comfortable. Now that I've had Ashleigh here for almost a week! (How awesome has that been!) the kids' rooms are decorated, and I can relax a little and post some pictures. :)

The Family Room
A tuckered out "Nash" lays sleeping :)
(door is to the back yard)





I love the mantle. It's a great place to put
nice things away from little hands :)

(We found Hobby Lobby here - vinyl sayings were 50% off!)



The Master Bedroom
It all fits! We had to combined the den with our room
to make room for baby #2 - Worked out great!







Sydney's favorite areas:
1. The kitchen
(happens to be Pace's favorite too)
We lock the fridge - no raspberry/strawberry incidents here :)



2. Outside
Yeah! Syd has a backyard! And a running Barbie jeep :)
(Pace was more excited about the jeep than Syd at first
A customer gave it to him. Now she loves it!)



3. Her bedroom/playroom
I'll post just this for now, another vinyl saying we fell in love with
I like the Princess theme better with this phrase added to it :)



And lastly... The Nursery :)
(If I can just keep Syd out of Pace Andrew's bed!)

I love how his name turned out.
Ashleigh helped me paint and decorate the letters :)



Aside from getting settled, here are a few small updates:

1. Syd is now full-time in a big girl bed!

2. She said, "Holy crap" yesterday... I had to laugh :)
Guess I'd better start watching my phraseology!

3. Pace made it through 3 intense yet inspiring days of orientation.

He's overwhelmed at times but is loving it so far!

4. I enrolled in 2 classes POS 110 & CIS 105, online at MCC

Gotta take what you can when you can... should be good. :)

5. We've made some neat friends already!
Good people here in Lubbock. :)
Our records were read in the ward on Sunday, I cried. :)

It felt good/ right, like "We're home, for now" :)
