Our First Big Night

I know we have actually spent 3 nights here already, but tonight is our first actual night where Chris and I are together (not unpacking or working) in our new home. We are just loving it, especially the boys who have worn themselves out completely! In true Reed fashion, I have finished the entire inside of the house except for the doors which I will paint this weekend. Everything is painted, cleaned, put up, installed, decorated, unpacked (pictures will come soon). However, the garage is the another story...

Before I tell you all about our fabulous plans for tonight I have to give a shout out to a person who went above and beyond the call of duty- MOM! There is no way I could have done this all without her; she advised, cleaned, painted the kitchen and bathroom, helped decorate and hang pictures, and even sewed beautiful panels for the front and back doors (pics are coming, I swear). This experience just reminded me of how awesome and talented she is and how blessed I am to have come from such determined and amazing people. Thank you so much mom! Also- I have to definitely thank Carl, Dad and Chris' family too for all their help in moving furniture, putting up new blinds and fans, painting, etc.

So, tonight I am making a lovely dinner of salmon, rice, asparagas and zuccini. I added tomatos and chives from our garden and the zuccini was from the garden too. Yum! We rented the Money Pit starring Tom Hanks (one of Chris' all time favorite movies) as it seemed fitting for the occasion-for those of you in the dark, the movie is about a couple who buy their dream home only to find out soon that it is falling apart (a lot of funny slapstick stuff). It will be a lovely first night celebrating this big step in our lives!
