Day Two

Today my mother and I went on an adventure. First thing was to do the walk-thru at the new house. I was a little shocked to find out that we are suppose to find things as we live there, mark them down on this paper then call and let the office know and they would fix it. There were a few things wrong with the house, but it wasn't anything more than cosmetic. So we went through and marked everything down and along with finding out where our mailbox is, I will let them know monday after we move in. YAY!!!

After that, we unloaded all the stuff for the puppies that are due to come home either tomorrow or sunday and wiped the counters and all the wood down. I will have a project coming up soon to put a soft pad on the window seat in the living room until we get real furniture.

Then we had to find Home Depot. THATS where the real adventure began. We went all the way down to the airport then turned around and headed back the other direction. Then we saw it from the highway and took the next exit. Wrong!! We drove all over the place and finally retraced our path back, took a different turn and BAM!! Found this entire shopping area that is closer to us than going all the way to Honolulu. Less confusing too once you actually know how to get there.

So the reason we were going there was to repair a hole in the wall at the old apartment that my chair had made. Then we left and went to do the walk thru, moved a friend of ours car into our garage and finally headed BACK towards Home Depot.

I have to say, I love my mom so much. If it weren't for her I would have already lost my mind. She kept me going all day and I only had a few soft moments instead of many of them. Also, she wanted to get us a microwave because we don't have one. I told her we didn't NEED one now that I knew the commissary carried the stove top popcorn. But she wanted to get us something for the house. I could kill her I swear.

We now have this comfy, beautiful back porch furniture. Four chairs and a table with a firepit in the middle. And mom said to take two of the four chairs into the house to use until we get real furniture. I am soo excited!! It comes in on sunday, then the movers on monday. Tomorrow we are going to pack up some more, get organized, move a few things and probably camp the night at the new house depending on if we have the dogs yet or not.

So the object of my picture for today is the begining stage of the hole in the wall behind my desk. All I could think of taking.. haha

This is the hole in the wall in its begining stages of being repaired. There is a bit of cardboard which is held in place by some wire that hubby aquired from work that is tied to my desk. The pink stuff is spackle and should dry white. Its just funny to see all this white and a big pink spot in the middle of the wall...
