So on the 2nd day of packing we got up early again to make sure everything was packed and ready to go and every thing that was coming with us and not the movers was already put in the car, after i made sure everything was sorted i packed up the cats in the cat carriers and headed toward Krum because we had the satalite people coming in to set up the televisions and we didnt know when the movers would make a appearence so i headed up to Krum while Paul stayed behind to wait for the packers, it took about a hour to get to the house and i unpacked the cats then unpacked the car and while i was on my own i started unpacking the boxes while i waited for the satalite people...

We learnt after we had rushed around early in the morning to get everything done for the packers that they forgot to put us on the books for moving that day and they didnt know if they could get any more guys to help us move we got so annoyed but after about 30 mins he rang and said he got to guys in on their day off to get us moved but Paul would have to wait till 12 for them,  so he had no choice but to sit and wait..

So i just carried on with unpacking and eventually i got the call i had been waiting for Paul was on his way to the new house with the Packers, so a hour later Paul arrived and they started unpacking all our furniture and it took them about a hour to unpack it all and while they were sorting that the television guys were setting up the satalite so by 6 oclock we were in our new house which felt awesome and also very surreal that it was our's..

As for the 2 movers that came in on their day off we were very grateful to them as they worked so hard and we made sure they knew we were grateful we gave them a $100 tip, well they were very excited to be getting a nice tip..

So by the time the day was over we needed our bed because we were so knackered and aching all over but we decided to put the bedroom all together and the frontroom together and most of the furniture in the right rooms, we then had a nice hot shower and went to bed and slept lol...

Busy few days after the move..

                 Busy few days after the move..

So after such a busy weekend moving i still didnt slow down, i decided to get all the boxes unpacked and i couldnt believe it, it took me 2 days to unpack everything and have everything in its place but i was glad to have got one more thing out the way but i still didnt get time to relax on the wednesday i had to head back to fort worth to get carpet cleaners in the appartment and make sure everything was clean..

So i got up on Wednesday at 4 in the morning and made me and the hubby a coffee and then at 5 i headed out the door to head back to the appartment i didnt want to hit any traffic thats why i had a early start, i hit fort worth around six and started cleaning the appartment it took me till 10 to clean the appartment the way i would want it to look when i move in, then the carpet cleaner came and cleaned all the carpets, once i made sure everything was out and cleaned i headed to the office to give them the keys and let them walk through the appartment and it all went well and they were happy with the appartment so it was official we no longger lived in a appartment yay us..

I left the appartment complex and heading down the road to see my girl gail before i headed home, i didnt want to go..When i got in to see gail, i was started to feel sick and tired which just meant the last week had finally caught up with me, unfortunalty i had been rushing around that much that morning i left my purse with my money and cards in back in Krum and i needed to get a boost, all i can say is thank god for Gail she payed for my footlong with chips and a large coke and it made me feel 10 times better so a big thankyou to gail for being a true friend and having my back..

So after spending some time with Gail it was time to head home and it was a very long drive back to Krum, and i got caught in traffic but after a hour and abit i hit home and i was so glad everything was finished with the appartment but i was very sad i wouldnt be able to see Gail every day like i was and i miss her everyday and her chats..

I miss you Gail i will be back to see you soon:)...

So after we signed all the papers it was around 6 oclock so abit late to pick up our keys but we rang Sharon the lady who sold us the house and she agreed to stay late so we could collect our keys which was awesome, so we got in the car and drove 45 minutes from Plano to Krum Denton to pick our house key's we were defiantly very excited the whole way their..


We got to Krum and met Sharon in her office and we just had to sign a bit of papeer to say we collected our  keys and then it was official the house was now ours it felt amazing to know we had our own home..


So we drove up the road to our new house to just walk through and it felt awesome to walk round and say this is our's


So all that was now left to do is move in..

The morgage lenders in Plano..

On the 15th July we went and signed all the closing papers to our new house, it took over a hour to drive their so it seemed a never ending car drive but i think it only seemed long because we were so excited about it..

Once we got their it took about 2 hours to sign all the papers because their was so much of it and we had to make sure we read every paragraph word for word so it was a very long and trying progress for us from start to finish but it was all worth it once we got told we could go and collect the keys..
