Its been a while! Far too long actually, but things have been super crazy this last month.
So, last you heard from me here, we were waiting on the appraisal. It went perfectly, papers were signed! It was lots of signatures! Apartment fully packed and ready to go, dog very confused by everything, lots of daycare time for him, truck rented and then we waited. Friday, May 27, we got our keys around 10 am. It was an amazing feeling! Our first house! We made a few trips back and forth with stuff, came back later with Nate and the dog. Dog had no idea what to make of things and was ready to go home again.
Next day, got the truck, took dog to daycare, loaded up and got most of it in two loads. Ozzy was super confused. He left the apartment and everything was fine, got home to find all of the stuff was gone. Or most of it. He had no idea what to think. He was ok at finding his things at the new place though. Its taken him this whole time to finally settle in and start to relax. He is seriously enjoying his freedom, and his own backyard! He went out all on his own the other day, went potty and came back looking all proud of himself!
For our side of things, it was crazy! Painting happened in every room but main bedroom and bathroom. Tim's office was blue and he made it a soft gray, my craft/guest room was white, and we made it a soft creamy tan like color, the kitchen got the same, and we got a color called Eider White for the living room and hallway. So much better! Curtains were purchased and hung, as there were no window coverings. The bathroom got an update, a new fancy Dual Flush toilet, a nice vanity and medicine cabinet. Lots of little things happened as well. Furniture was arranged and made how we liked it. It now feels like home!
We are very grateful for Tim's parents. They came and helped out with everything, with out their wonderful help, it would never have gotten done as fast, we would probably be still working on it! Thank you!!
We ate like crap as well! I am seriously surprised I didnt gain too much. Only a few pounds which I am working to get back off. Lots of fast food, pizza and Chinese, donuts. Not good. Was super happy when my kitchen was in working order and I could make food again! It was great! Been trying to eat better, but its slow going.
I also stopped taking my Melatonin supplements. Read how a study had been done, and they found that some people have a genetic thingy that makes it so that Melatonin doesnt work how it is supposed to. It absorbs into cells and blocks insulin resistance and causes much higher blood sugars. So, as I was having very high numbers, out of curiosity sake, I stopped taking it. And low and behold, the numbers dropped! Still high, as I am not eating right, but they dropped! I was also having to take quite a lot just to fall asleep, and then waking up two hours later anyway.
Beacuse of this though, I've seriously messed up my sleeping. Which is why Im posting this so early! Im still awake! I slept till 4pm yesterday as I didnt sleep the night before. Going to try and stay up as long as possible today and try and fix it.
Our friends came to visit us last weekend, and it was fun! The boys did projects, they flew a drone and took video of the house from outside, Sarah and I went and had sushi! So tasty! We also went and checked out Bradley Lake Park and walked around it.
We stopped into Sports Authority, they are going out of business, and the sign said 20-40% off, but the only thing higher than 20% were cleats. Dont need those! I did get a jump rope. Tested it out when I got home and discovered a serious need for a better bra!
Well, there is the update! I hope to start doing better about writing these things as I hope to start eating better and working out more!
Have a great day!
