Recap

It has been a VERY HECTIC week in our house! Quick recap:

* Returned home last Saturday evening after a week long trip visiting the family in Houston.
* Met with the homeowner that we are renting the house from on Sunday.
* Quick walk-thru to make sure everything looked ok.
* Watched the GIANTS beat the PATRIOTS Sunday night!
* Woke up early, checked out of the hotel we have been living at for the last month.
* Went to the house and waited on the movers to arrive.
* Received the DREADFUL call from the movers letting us know they won't be able to come today. (all major freeways leading into Bakersfield were closed due to the snow and ice in the mountains the night before)
* Decided to do all of our grocery shopping.
* Went to another hotel for Monday night. (Adam had a dinner meeting that night for work, so it was just Mason & Mommy)
* Tuesday morning, woke up early and checked out of the hotel.
* Went to the house and waited for the movers. (Adam was gone from 7:30am to 10:30pm for regional meetings and a company outting)
* Tuesday morning realized that the only thing we forgot to do was set up the Gas...
* That meant no HEAT or HOT WATER!
* Called Adam to share the news that they wouldn't be able to come out until Thursday afternoon. (I did cry by this point)
* Bundled Mason up and tried to entertain him, while the movers unloaded all of our furniture and boxes.
* 165 boxes later, the movers left and it was just Mason & me the rest of the day.
* Decided to tackle the kitchen first.
* Tuesday night at 10:30pm, Adam tells me that his boss told him to take the next day off to help his wife. (I was speechless when he told me)
* Wednesday morning the gentleman from Dish Network came to setup our cable.
* Mid morning I realized our phone line wasn't working and neither was our internet.
* Called ATT and the repair guy couldn't come out until Thursday.
* Unpacked most of the living room boxes.
* Thursday morning the ATT rep fixed our phone line - no charge!
* Thursday afternoon...WE HAVE HEAT! (It gets into the upper 20s at night to low 30s)
* Thursday unpacked all of Mason's room, did laundry, ran and unloaded the dishwasher.
* That night we unpacked our bathroom and took hot showers and went to bed .

All of this, while taking care of a baby that is almost 7 months old is alot of work. I am so glad it's the weekend and Adam will be home to help. Don't get me wrong, he helped alot when he was home, but it's a lot of work. We have accomplished alot and yet still need to organize and unpack the guest bedroom, hang pictures and start decorating.

Holy cow, I'm exhausted just reading this! But you're getting there, and setting up a new place and making it your own can be really fun!
