Big moving weekend!

This is it, the big move weekend! We are so anxious to get into the house!! The only thing that's left to paint in the bathroom and we may hold off until next weekend. I'm quite sick of painting right now, more anxious to get things in and straightened out. The floores were laid yesterday and Tuesday. We unpacked some stuff last night. I'm off as of 2pm today until Tuesday morning so we should be able to get lots done. Our phone will be disconnected tomorrow and may take a while to get reconnected as the lines need to be fixed in the new place. So hopefully we'll be up again soon.

That's it for me. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! :o)

4 more lbs!! Whooot Whoot!

Yup, weighed in this morning, lost 4 more lbs so I'm up to 33 now! Yeeehhhaaawww!!

Other than that, house is coming along well! Only thing left now is the bathroom and fix up some trim! not too shabby! We moved a bunch of stuff in on Saturday then finish the rest up Saturday. Would love to be able to do it on Friday cause I have it off, but all depends on the help we can get. If there's anyone out there with a truck that would love to help out, let me know!! ;o)

I'll be sure to post some pics next week or the week after of the new pad!

Take Care!

Will the painting ever end?!?!

So we've been up to our ears in renovating our new house! Even bnetter it's not costing us a thing to do it! Our landlord is paying for all, but we're doing most of the work! No biggy, hey it's going to be like our own place. No more apartments!!! We're painting the whole inside of the house, I should say I am! So far I have the living room, downstairs bedroom, 1 spare room, hallway, stairwell and 2 closets done, as well as some doors. Last night I put a coat on the other spare room and the mud room. On the weekend they got the washer and dryer hooked up downstairs and moved a wall unit shelving thing to the basement and hooked it on the wall so I can use that for my detergents and all that fun stuff. Plus they totally removed this old old cupboard thing with the sink in the kitchen. It was hideous!! Sooo gross!! So they removed that totally and cut a hole in the other counter and installed a new sink and tap! Beautiful!! Most of the light fixtures have been installed except for two because I have to paint first. We're hoping to get most of the painting done by the end of the weekend (actually I want it all done). Saturday we'll be moving some stuff in and up to the spare rooms. The flooring people are coming on the 24th to install carpet in the living room and stairwell and cushion flooring in the kitchen, hall and mudroom. We'll be in the house for good Saturday the 28th. We're sooo excited!!I'll definately be taking some pics once it's all done and we're unpacked!

That's it for news on our front. I'll be updating you again once we get settled!!

Take Care!!

29lbs lost!!

Whohohoooooo! Weighed in this morning because I didn't make it to the gym this weekend. This house stuff is enough exercise and I'm pooped by the end of the day. So last time I lost was March 18th and I went two weeks after that and didn't loose. So this morning I went and lost 7lbs so I'm totalled at 29lbs! I'm right on track!

Thanks for your support!!!!

Hi Ya'll

4 day weekend is over! Wow, we didn't stop the whole time though! We got down and dirty helping out fixing our new pad! Hopefully this weekend we'll be able to get a bunch of the painting done. This past weekend was filled with holep atching and lots of dust from the sander! Now this week will be some clean up. It's all going well though, can't wait to get moved in!

Got to visit with Carrie this weekend too, a friend from Bathurst. She recently started seeing a guy from here and has been down quite a bit so that's been real nice to have someone to hang with. Plus the guys get along great so it makes it even better for us all to hang!

We didn't make it up home on Sunday because of the storm. Can you imagine!! Easter weekend and not only 1 snow storm but two! It's nuts! Anyway, we're going to see about heading up this weekend, depending on how painting goes before Sunday.

As some of you may know, I'm stepping away from organizing the reunion. I posted it on Facebook and sent an email to a few people and only heard a couple of responses. Not that I'm looking for a response, but anyway. I got thinking a lot about all of this and decided to back away. Not only from some comments I've received from people but also because I have a lot on my plate too. Plus being away makes it hard to do all that. I wasn't chosen to do it or made myself leader, just took it upon myself to try to get things organized as I hadn't heard of anyone else doing that back when I started. I'm just hoping someone will take over. I can provide them with all the info that I have and they can decide what they want to do.

That's it for me right now! I'm hoping everyone is doing well and had a great Easter!! Take Care all!

We're MOVING!

Yup, that's right! Found ourselves a little brick house to rent in Newcastle! 3 bedroom, 1.5 story house! Nice big deck in the backyard and everything! Added bonus, he's letting us pick the paint for it as well as the flooring! Can't go wrong with that!! Just so happens the guy we are renting from, Wes knows (went to school with him and his brother). He lives in Fort MacMurray and bought this house as an investment for him for later on when he comes back home. He just bought it and got the keys last week so he told us to go in, look things over and jot things down that we thought needed updating or fixed. He told us that we could pick the paint and that he was putting new cupboards in the kitchen, new flooring, new baseboards and a new dryer (washer is already there). There is a nice deck out back, the width of the house plus a yard!! Big move date is set for the last weekend in April. He also told us that if he had the work done before that, that we could get the keys and start moving stuff in then! Whohooo!!!

Here's a picture of the outside of the house! Too cute isn't it!
