Yesterday we got new carpet. I know I have been talking about this for the last few weeks, but to have it finally in and have our furniture all moved in makes it feel like a new house. (And that is saying something for a house built in the early fifties!)
Well, as a quick recap, Ryder and I went our to my parents house on sunday night so that we wouldn't be in the way. The few got here at 845a, had the carpet completely ripped out by 9am and I got a call from kit at 1115am that the new carpet was in and the guys had even helped him move some of the heavy pieces of furniture back in place. I then got another phone call at 2pm from Kit that said all the furniture is back in place, the rooms are all vacuumed and the house is all clean and ready for us to come home.
(Seriously, Kit was such a STAR!) In the mean time, Kit took down our house Christmas lights, organized the garage and fridge, and did a ton of laundry! He is AMAZING!
Here are the reasons Ryder and I couldn't be in the house:
So after all that, here are some pictures of our AFTER:
The furniture is in but is in major transition since we are in the process of switching the kiddos rooms, so we will have better "after" pictures when they are done.
Today we are off for an anniversary overnight and Ryder is staying with his grandparents and cousins. It is going to be such a special trip. In advance: mom, dad and rosies, thank you so much for watching Ryder and making this last minute trip a possibility! We could not love you more and are so thankful for you. The problem we are facing is when Ryder won't want to leave...
