Moving to Tennessee

Ok....we are officially in Tennessee! We are celebrating being here for one month now! Life has changed so much in that past month, and I wanted to walk you through some of the big changes! To preface..there will be more pics of the new house decorated as I complete rooms, but I wanted to show you what they looked like during the process!! =)

This is what our living room looked like the day before we moved! The Razorbacks were playing baseball that day and Kyle didn't want to miss it, so the TV was packed last! It's the important things!!

This picture doesn't even sum up this moment! Thank you brother for capturing this sweet moment without us knowing! The good-byes were hard! As this picture was being taken, Mom reminded me of a saying I always said when I was little, "My can do it!" She said I was Miss Independent and never wanted anyone's help. Right as Josh took this picture, she looked at me and said, "Remember Sissy, 'My can do it!'" It was such a sweet moment!


This was at 6am on Tuesday, June 12th and we were about to head out of Little Rock!

The muscles of the moving crew! =) Couldn't have done it without Josh!!

                                      
Like father....like son!!
The sleep medicine the vet gave us for the pups KNOCKED them out. They were so loopy and confused! When we would stop to walk them, they would just wobble around and end up laying down in the grass. It was so sad and hilarious at the same time!

Saying "Hello" to our new home state!

The evening we arrived we unloaded one mattress and set out the rugs to flatten. If you remember, we came during spring break and set one whole room up, so all we needed was the one mattress for the other room to all get a good night's sleep. 10+ hours is a long drive! *That was Kole running through the house!
The movers got there at 8:00am and were completely finished with the moving truck at 9:38am. It was incredible!!!

Kyle helping the movers out along the way!!

Here is the living room...the couch was upside down so we could nail in the felt pads so as to not scratch the hard wood floors!

Kyle's office upstairs...notice the chair and ottoman are laying upside down! That's how the movers unloaded them...haha.

Our master bedroom upstairs...we have the 2 dressers in, but no bed yet! (However, we did sleep wonderfully the night before on our new memory foam mattress)

Kyle took this picture of me because I was so excited to have all of our bedroom furniture in our actual bedroom and have space leftover! (His chest of drawers was in our office in Little Rock because it all wouldn't fit in that room)

Kooper and Kole seem pretty settled in!!

This is the bonus room/game room above the garage! It is a project in and of itself...needless to say!! This was about 2 days into the move! It does look MUCH better now.

The kitchen pretty much unpacked and organized!

The guest bathroom upstairs...I had just steamed my new shower curtain! (I was really excited about this curtain...fell in love with in when I saw it at Target!)

The picture is exciting because we can now fit 1 car in the garage. My school supplies are occupying the other side right now until I get a job, so Kyle has to park outside until that happens!!

The master closet...I AM IN LOVE!!!!

Saying good-bye to the Penske!! I was not sad to see it go...that meant we were finally in our new home!!

The first family pic at our new house!! The pups love their new yard so much!!


We were invited to a Urology Resident dinner our first Friday night, so we finally got a chance to get out of work clothes and get all fancy for the first time! We had an amazing time and met so many wonderful people while we were there!

Now that it is a month in, we are completely settled minus a few pieces of decorations here and there and the game room! There were a lot of rooms I did not get pictures of yet, but they will come! I hope to update soon with the whole house all finished! Kyle is loving his job, but is super busy! He gets up early and comes home late! I am staying busy by working out, cleaning, cooking, running errands and doing everything I can to stay out of this heat right now!! =)

We are blessed beyond belief and thank God everyday for these awesome blessings! We love our new house and are meeting some wonderful people along the way!! These 5 years are going to fly by!!
