Where Have We Been?

Once we got back from our vacation in August we hit it hard looking for a new apartment in our complex since our landlords had told us in July that come next July we needed to move out.  This caught us off guard we were not planning on needing to move for a while.  We decided to start looking now since we really wanted to stay here and literally the day after we got back from vacation we began the week long trek of looking at apartments.  Thankfully on Friday of that week when I thought we were going to have to settle on one I just wasn't sure of we found one.  We found an apartment one building away from where we use to live which was also on the second floor and it has almost the same floor plan.  We jumped on the apartment but the master bathroom had never been completed (it was just a concrete shell) so our landlord quickly started working on fixing it up.  That was finished in 3 days.  Then we cleaned and prepared the house for it to be painted.  It got painted and then we cleaned after that and were able to move in two days later.  We didn't really start packing until the day before we moved since you never know when you can get things done around here and so it was fast and furious but we got moved on Wednesday and completely out of our old apartment in the next couple of days.  We had our handy fix it man come and install light fixtures to every room and fix other odds and ends.  We had him take out the kitchen cabinets we had bought for our old house and had him reinstall them in our new house.  And we had our Internet company come out and install our home phone and Internet in our new house.  Things went amazingly fast.  From finding our apartment to being fully living in it it was about two weeks.  We didn't have home school last week due to moving so this week I've been working hard to get to it done each morning.  So that is why I haven't taken any pictures yet, hopefully I can find some time tomorrow.  Be looking for those pictures to come soon! :)
