I was going to do this later tonight but Cade is napping and he ATTACKS me when I'm on the computer... so many buttons;)
We got here late Saturday night and man was Saturday a long day! Everything was going great that morning I had to jog 7mi so I got up early and was back around 9ish so the work started we took a break around 3 and went to Applebees and Home depot to get some moving stuff. Justin drives a little Audi and the key is one of those ones that flips up when you push the button.. well it broke and the small key part fell between our seats, no big deal right? Well 3 stinkin' hours later (mind you it was the COLDEST day in Walla Walla in a very long time!) and 1 super grumpy Cade and 1 super hyped up Coop (we kept him happy with m&ms) we both had forgotten our cell phones and our good friends Amy and Jon were in Hawaii (boo hoo I know!) I'm one of those stupid people that has no idea what your number is because its stored in my phone... WHICH IS AT HOME! Any way we all crammed in the back seat of the car and said a prayer that we could find the key, Justin went in with the boys to Home Depot and I kept searching, we switched about a half hour later. I was at my wits end at this point WE HAD SO MUCH TO DO and we needed to be out that night! I was thumbing through the phone book at the service dept. and Justin came in with this HUGE SMILE... YEAH he found it!!! Man was I relieved. So back to the town home to finish up and clean clean clean. We got to Dayton late Saturday night and just slept on mattresses surrounded by boxes;) We are a bit more settled now but there is no where to put stuff, our washer and dryer is in a closet behind bi fold doors IN THE KITCHEN (yeah who's idea was that?) and IT DOES NOT FIT... seriously! I'm workin' on getting creative, as Justin would say "think outside the box" OK OK babe but until then where are we going to put it, he is so great to help me be positive. We had a really great Monday it was so nice for Justin to just to drive down the road to work and Cooper started Pre School (which he LOVES!) Cade and I unpacked in the morning and went to the grocery store. I have had a lot of people tell me how lame it was but I personally thought is was just fine, Subway, deli, bakery, the whole works its no Wal Mart but it totally works. So after the grocery store I was feeling good about our move. We had dinner and I convinced Justin to go jogging with me (such a great hubby!) then we ended with a fun FHE(on prayer... humm wonder why?!?). So there may not be a lot here but we are and that's all that matters.
A running joke in my family, yes dad "Hairy" made it! Justin and my dad HATE this wreath my mom and I LOVE it. Moving it... not so easy, its big, messy, and fragile, but he has a name Hairy and I love him;)
My mom gave me these CUTE Halloween skeletons! I love them mom, thanks!
Yep they ARE NOT GOING TO FIT!!!! !@#$%
Coopers 1st day of preschool! He was really excited, it helped the moving process SO MUCH! His teacher is AMAZING we really lucked out.
He had to model his pimpin back pack;) Thanks Aunt Kari!
Cade helping me pack... so helpful
Cooper playing hide and seek during the move, nice spot Coop!

I was worried my vinyl would not go on the walls here because they are HEAVY textured, but it worked!

I'm so glad that you made it! Look at you, already decorating, you need to come help me with my house, we've been here 2 almost 3 years and I'm still struggling! :) Good job on your running, I piddle everytime I run so I try really hard not to do it!
WHEW!!! You are amazing!!! Moving is such a pain and in the middle of it all you are running your 7 miles! GEEZ woman!!! Hope you can figure out the washer/dryer. : ) And, I too love the wreath! Those men's opinions just don't matter when it comes to wreaths.
I agree with you being amazing. No help from anyone, and you made it! I feel so bad, I wish we would have done something/anything to help you. Can't wait to see your pictures. I bet it's nice having Justin home an hour more each day without the traveling. WAHOO FOR DAYTON!
Love that you already have vinyl lettering up. At least unpacking and decorating is a lot more fun than packing up. So I am running my half marathon in a week and half I did 12.8 miles last Saturday and it was a killer. My body is not for running I have been to the foot doctor three times in the last six months. Thankfully he is our friend. I am definatly getting nervous but if you can run 7 you can defintaly do it. So Good Luck!
Ok, found it-- I'm dumb@!! You are soo great- haven't changed a bit-- still take on the whole world all at once! I wondered in highschool, how you got up early to dance, played softball-- danced, then had enough energy and not to mention time to come cause trouble with me!! You are amazing!! We should all take notes!! I am any way!
Luv ya

You seriously make me laugh :) Sounds like you made it though! Yay! Good luck with the washer, I have my fair share of "fun" apartments. One of my apartments that was a 1 bedroom (aka a studio) had such small oven that people always thought it was a trash compactor. Gotta love life!
Hey I can't remember if I ever wrote you back. My mom loves her vinyl it looks amazing. Thanks so much for going out of your way to bring it to me. It was good to see you. I bet your glad to be done moving, I hate moving.
It is nice to have your husband right there at work...does he come home for lunch? That's always fun! We actually went and found Dayton the other day. I thought it was a cute little town....I don't have to live there though. Let me know what you think of it!!!
Love your new fall template! Super cute. I'm too chicken to change templates because the one time I did I had to redo all my page elements. What a pain! Glad you're getting moved in. And I agree- I could use some major decorating advice, too! Your houses always look so cute (from the pictures I've seen!)Good luck with the running. I've had major anxiety all week because we have to run the mile again on friday.
Chy..When I was an appraiser I saw many MANY a home with the washing machines that didn't fit in their kitchens, lots of old houses in LA, and the people would just hide them with curtains. I don't know if that will help you or not, but it's an idea. I'm glad you got settled in..sounds like you'll like it there. And HOORAY for finding your lost key! Way to go Justin and way to go Chy for keeping those kids entertained for 3 + hours!!!
Man! life is an adventure for you! You are way ambitious. You could move into a garage and make it adorable. I had a dream that you guys moved back and Justin ran the hospital here...premonition...maybe. :) We miss you, awesome job on the running. When is the next one we talked about?
So I am listening to I think we're alone now and if you could only see the dance I made up to this when I was 7. You would think I rock j/k. There are a lot of girls in my ward that run so they have helped me a lot. Although I have had a lot of injuries so after this I am sticking to like 4-5 miles because 12 is so hard on your body. Plus I havn't lost one pound AHHHHH! I thought for sure I would but I guess I eat like a pig. It's just a race about 20 miles north of here so hopefully I will survive. I give you kuddos for running by yourself I can barely run a mile when I am alone.
