My awesome cousins had set this up and it made me feel so special and welcome. They then came over and helped us unpack the U-Haul and get the essentials inside like the bed, couch and table. Around 9:30pm Jake picked up BBQ from one of the only places open for dinner. Isaac had gone down at 8:30pm (his normal bedtime), but woke up at 10pm and we brought him out to eat with us since the poor guy hadn't gotten much solid food all day.
The next day Jake left for work and right when I was pulling in from dropping him off, my mom arrived with my dog. :) My mom is one of the best workers I know. What would have taken Jake and I weeks to complete, she helped me do in just a few days.
When we unpacked the U-Haul we put most of the boxes in the kitchen and dining area. I wish I had a picture of what the before looked like. In the first hour my mom was here the kitchen and dining area was clear and she was doing dishes (LOVE this woman!!). I sent this picture to Jake since we were both feeling overwhelmed with all there was to do and this was so encouraging that already a dent was being made.
On my mom's last night here, we had microwave s'mores.
It is wonderful to have a place and feel like I can start establishing myself, but I will definitely miss the many moments that I got to share with my parents and that my parents got to spend with Isaac. It was a really special time and as weird as it sounds, I am really thankful we ended up living with my parents (for almost a YEAR! crazy). I feel blessed that Jake and I have parents that are so awesome. I know his would do the same for us if we were in Michigan. So again, I will miss getting to hang out with my best friends every day, but I am excited for this new chapter! (and at least they are only a drive a way!)
