Finally!

We finally closed on our house and are mostly moved in. We had an amazing team of women working on our side that got everything necessary done in 10 business days. Thanks SOOOOOO much to the Jeffers for all their help in this whole process too. We had hired a cleaning crew to do the house but apparently they thought the kitchen was just fine... I'm sorry but it wasn't. Kris came over and helped me scrub it down on Friday. Saturday Rich and Caleb moved almost everything in (while Brigit watched the younger kiddos TY!!!) while Kris, Kaden, Elias and I unpacked and put things in the right rooms. They helped us out ALL day. We couldn't have done it without them. We also had a couple neighbors drop by and help here and there. Yesterday Kris took my younger boys and Elias, Isaac and I got pretty much all the unpacking and putting together done. The house is relatively clean and livable now. We have phone, Internet and satellite back so we're on a roll!! Our home phone is the same as it used to be. Man I guess we're just about there. On Sunday the phone repair man came because the phones weren't working. While he was working in the basement I went and checked out one of our window wells and found a HUGE black widow spider with a giant egg sack. There was also a male one in the same well. FREAKY!! Kris and I didn't see any signs of them in the house in all our cleaning but having one so close still freaked us out. Caleb sprayed an entire can of killer on them yesterday and I think they're history now. Quite the welcoming crew! I tried to take some pix but they didn't turn out well through the glass and I wasn't about to get closer! (the Picture loading function isn't working so I'll have to post my sorry pictures later).
