We make a few steps forward and then a step or two back.

We finally got the living room set up so we can watch TV.

We still have piles of boxes to take to the recycle again.

Feels like the cardboard reproduces.

Our bedroom is probably in the best shape.

We thought we didn't want anything but the bed and 

nightstands, but we realized that left no surface to put our stuff on. 

Like wallets, phones, watches some type of catchall.

We bought another four drawer dresser from IKEA.

Our master closet is getting closer to organized. 

We will store extra stuff in the dressers here.

We used to have a tall black shelf unit in our master closet

 in St. George, so we will put that stuff in these dressers.

On this side we will still need to use 1/4 of the hanging space and then we want to put in shelves. I've taken a lot of my clothes and shoes and put them in the giveaway box. Most of my clothes don't fit anymore anyway. That 10 lbs makes a huge difference in what fits. 

Plus we are almost to the season change. I like to box up my clothes that are out of season.

We rented a Home Depot truck to pick up our two new recliners. Lazy Boy Furniture wanted to charge us $139 for deliver. Ridiculous. This ended up costing almost $50 dollars, but it was still cheaper. Also fun to ride in the big nosy truck!!

There you have it.

 

So much going on

 We made it to Aurora in good time. This is the living room with most of the boxes and furniture unloaded.  We hired another professional moving company to unload our stuff. They did a great job!

Here's the kitchen with our dining room set and all the boxes with the pantry cabinetry waiting to be installed.

This is the beginning of our new office.

Here is another view of the living room.

Fred pulled in about an hour after me. That last day of driving was short,

 but intense. The mountain ranges to climb and come down from were amazingly huge. There was so much traffic on a Sunday morning.

The last night we stayed in a hotel in Eagle Colorado. It was very picturesque.

Fred got my attention when I was loaded in my car ready to take 

off from our former home,

My last photo of our home.

I didn't cry, but I did cry when we walked out of the Title Company.

This was our dream home. We picked out everything and it was brand new when we moved in. We both felt some real emotion leaving it. Even more so than when we left our home in Bremerton of 32+ years.

We filled this huge Budget truck and even had to leave some stuff behind.

 It was kind of a nightmare there at the end.

Here are some pictures of all our boxes ready to go.

Our master closet.

More master bedroom.

Another of the front bedroom. 

So we are starting our new adventure.

Everyday we unbox something or buy another piece of furniture.

We sold most of our furniture.

We only brought our dining table and chairs

Sofa and Loveseat

Four end tables

My sewing table.

We bought new bedroom furniture and desks for the office/sewing room.

Oh and my new piano

We will be picking up two new recliners

At Christmas time we want to buy an electric fireplace.

New appliances are gas stove, washer and dryer and refrigerator.

Yep - pretty much all new. 

So far despite all the work, we are happy to be here.

Fred is working so hard. 

He makes sure to listen to what is most important for me to feel most comfortable. 

I really appreciate that. He has always done that for me. 

More to come when I get to it. 

Hopefully pictures of everything in it's spot and all remodeling complete.
