Our New Home

Brad and I moved into our new home today. We closed yesterday and spent the night on an air mattress, it was super fun, ha ha.
We had some wonderful people that helped us today. Rick and Vicky, Brad's aunt and uncle came up from Colorado Springs; my parents came up from Lakewood; Carrie, a co-worker of mine came in from Eaton; Sarah and Jay came from Greeley and Brad's parents from Windsor. We got a lot done in pretty quick order I think. We had everything out of our 10 foot by 25 foot storage unit by noon and in the house. While the boys went back on the 2nd trip for the big bedroom furniture us girls started working in the kitchen. I must say us girls are more efficient than the boys. The ladies (with the exception of me) got that kitchen cleaned really quickly; then all of us girls got the kitchen boxes unloaded and put away in short order.
I am very grateful though to the men that did all the really heavy lifting. I did not want to have to move any of that stuff.
I do have to tell a cute little story though, Aiden (Sarah and Jay's son) and Quirt (Carrie's son) we helping us take things off of the moving truck and into the house. When we got to the part where we needed to get the boxes from the "attic" we needed someone to push them more to the front. I put Aiden and Quirt up there and they pushed the boxes forward so we could reach them. They were great little helpers. They also helped test out the house for kid friendliness.
I will post pictures as we get room settled so those of you that can't make it up here can see our new home.
Thank you to everyone that helped today. We really appreciate it.
