In like Flynn....

Well this past weekend, our move in weekend, proved to be a busy one. It actually started at 8:30am Friday morning, when the movers showed up at 1111 - our then home. Like ants the movers ran back an forth from home to truck and back again, carrying twice their body weight (a slight exaggeration), though what they did carry in proportion to their size was amazing to watch. By 12:30 all our belongings were in our new home. With boxes neatly stacked in their respective room and both beds assembled, we tipped the movers and moved on to unpacking.

Lina and I headed to Home Depot for a few items and to purchase a grill. Shortly after returning we were welcomed with a house warming gift from Ma and Pa Chick. It was great to be welcomed on THE DAY we moved in. It felt great!

Mom and Dad Reeth came up on Saturday to help with various chores - Mom was in the house with Lina unpacking and setting up the kitchen, while Dad and I were on the roof clearing gutters full of gravel and setting up the recently purchased grill. We all worked together to layout the house, moving leaf table after leaf table from one wall to another, from one room to another and back. My folks were heroic as they worked with us ALL day to get the house setup like a home. No one could believe we could or would pull off a house warming party 48hours after moving in. Without the help of our folks, we wouldn't have so seamlessly. We thank them for the house warming gift and their time.

Lina and I invited some friends and family for a BBQ on Sunday to christen our new place. At the time of sending the evite, we had yet to close on the house, finish packing, move in or purchase a grill. Nevertheless, it all got done with seconds to spare. Friends showed up and stayed a few hours, enjoying some burgers and franks, wine and good conversation. It was great to host, see good friends and show off Lina's belly, which is one closet short of being called our 5th bedroom (I kid...she looks great and everyone is shocked that she is as far along as she is). It was great to see so many friends and to have the opportunity to share the day with them. Thank you all for coming.
