Well, it turns out that buying a house that needs a little sweat equity makes you pretty busy! We've had a great time working on it though. It is so cool to be in our new house, and see it develop into more and more of our home every time we leave!
Sunday we had church in the morning, then Mike Adkins was nice enough to drive us to Home Depot in his truck to pick up our new fridge! We got it loaded in the trailer, and they had tied it down, then he looked at Steven and said, "okay, now you just hold on to it while I drive back." Steven and I both thought he was joking, but turns out he was not! Steven stood on the trailer and made sure the fridge stayed in balance the entire 20 minute drive back to our house!
We finally made it back, and it was much harder than we anticipated to get the fridge inside. The handles made it just a little too wide to get in the front door, and for some reason the handles did not come off by themselves, so we had to remove both entire doors before we could bring it inside. Luckily, this made the fridge much lighter so we were able to get it in place just the three of us! We got back to the Waltrip's and took a nap before youth group that night. After youth and a game of kickball, we went to... where else, but Taco Bell!
Monday, Steven and I spent ALL DAY painting our new living rooms and entryway. I am so thankful that the first coat was already done on the trip (from Saturday) because it took me SO long to get that done! We were at the house from 1 till 11, and went to Quik Trip for a dinner of hot dogs and donuts. (hey, it wasn't healthy, but we deserved it!) We were just so exhausted toward the end, both of us getting irritable and we really weren't getting much done because we were so sore. We got back to the Waltrip's and went to bed!
This morning, thank God, we felt so much better! Steven had his meeting with Dan, and I cleaned up the basement a bit. We left around 1 to go back to the house and get started on painting the guest bedrooms. We spent until 6:30 working on them, when we left to go to Discipleship at the church. I am so glad that Pastor Dan does this Discipleship class. We've only been to two so far, but they have been SO good. I really like that he goes through it and explains why the church believes what they believe, using tons and tons of Scripture to back it up. It is a lot of basic stuff, but it is really good to go through it all again and have all of these references in one place.
We got back from church, and heated up leftovers for dinner (at 9:30). Getting ready for another busy day of painting and cleaning tomorrow! :)
