one week in

The carpeting was installed

in the master bedroom last Monday.

If you need carpet installed - call these guys

I can't even describe the difference 

in how the room felt

once the carpet was in.

Of course,

it was comfortable underfoot,

but it was more than that.

I wanted to just lay on the floor 

the rest of the day

and enjoy the feeling.

But

there was rain in the forecast 

for pretty much all day Tuesday

and I didn't relish sharing my sleeping space 

even one more time

with a tub to catch drips,

so I wanted to move immediately.

Tyler had a meeting after work

and wouldn't likely be home before 10.

Since he couldn't help move,

 we decide to surprise him.

The kids and I 

took apart,

cleaned,

  carried over,

and put back together

our bed and just a few other things

that'd make our new room 

feel like home.

(and the microwave and coffee maker

and all the necessary coffee paraphernalia)

The rest could wait...

I ironed Tyler's clothes for the next day

and went to put them in the closet

where I was surprised to discover

(again)

that I still hadn't installed

(or even purchased)

hanging rods.

oops.

No matter, I just hung his clothes on a shelf....

I let the kids stay up 'til Daddy came home

(which ended up being well past 11!)

because they were so excited.

Tyler was darn near giddy

when he found not only carpet,

but also his bed

in the new house.

ahhhhh

I know I'd said that when we moved our bed over

I was taking some time off,

but I very quickly realized that plan 

wasn't going to work,

because now that we're all in the new house,

we really need a functioning kitchen.
