Firsts! Cooking Edition

COOKING! We made something fast and easy- tacos (Monday night)!

That's the stove...

Tim making his tacos...

Taco Toast! or a toast of tacos!

Firsts!

So, you're probably going to get tired of these...but I'm going to try and remember some of our firsts in the new house. I want to start with...

Our first card :) From our sweet friend Amanda

Home Project #1: Sealing the Backsplash

I think I'm in love with Home Depot...Mel was right, the best time to go there is a Friday night instead of a Saturday morning haha!

Tim taped off the areas we wanted to keep dry :)

The guy at Home Depot convinced us to use the spray.

Tim is spraying and then rubbing the sealant in.

Finished! Though you really can't visually see a difference much :)

NO INTERNET!!!!

According to Tim, we have moved back to 1994. THERE IS NO INTERNET at our new home. NONE! AHHHHH. Your only option for high speed internet is satellite. And that can be quite pricey. We're hoping that it won't be too much longer before the cable companies come in the neighborhood.

So that is where I've been. I've been without internet. Though, we are making nightly visits with my parents to use their internet :)

Moving Day 2: Where are Kelly and her parents?

Looks like the roles were reversed tonight...around 4 p.m. on Day 2, my parents and I left to go pick up some items. We went to Target, Sam's, Rooms to Go, a furniture store in Phenix City that was closed, and back by my parent's house. We dropped my dad off in the middle of running errands because he was called in to work.

Mom and I decided to bring dinner home to Tim because at this point it was almost 8 and we were starving. We went to Jason's Deli (which was a HUGE mistake...they said 5-10 minutes wait for to-go orders and it ended up being a 30 minute wait for a simple sandwich and soup....yeah...#unhappy here).

So needless to say, we finally got back to Tim at the new house around 8:00. We had been gone 4 hours and he freaked out on us when we returned because he had no car, no keys, no cell phone, nothing. We thought he would be sleeping on the couch still, but turns out he was beside himself trying to figure out which new neighbor to borrow a phone from ha!

Guess it shows how technology dependent, or how plugged-in, we all need to feel.

In the end, it was all good.

Here are some photos from the day:

Living Room so far...these will need covering sadly. Cats + vinyl = disaster.

Kitchen eating :) I love that baker's rack.

Moving Day 1: Where is Tim?

Ah, yes. Where is Tim? Yesterday around 5:30 p.m. Tim's family arrived to meet me and my parents at the new house...but where was he? Hrmmmm. He decided to "cat nap" and in doing so he missed doing this:

This is about a 1/3 of what was in the U haul- load 1.

Between all of us, we unloaded lots of boxes, mattresses, TV, dresser mirror, and the small kitchen table- all in less than half an hour. Tim showed up AFTER we had finished :) Good timing.

The all star of the day was this champ:

Katie rocks!

She was hauling like no one's business. Total rock star! But, she won't be here today so Tim's going to pull his weight. Which he is doing right now while I'm blogging. He and his dad are loading up round two with the majority of our furniture. I can't wait to see what everything looks like once its inside. Unfortunately, everything is going to be slow because of the stormy weather. So wish us luck :)

We need a new name! We're homeowners!

We're homeowners!

Help us rename our blog! We'll always be Married with Parents and Pets, but we thought we might need a new name to celebrate the move!
