We've Muevete'd!

     Well, it doesn't look like the Sunday-blogging is going to work out for me...at least it hasn't so far.  So here's an update for the last two weeks.  Sorry its so long and detailed.  I'm trying to be more detailed for journaling purposes:  WE MOVED!!  It has been a crazy couple of weeks.  Our house has been a mess as we painted the cabinets, vacuumed, shampooed? carpets, washed walls, fans, light fixtures, bathrooms, etc.  I really wasn't sure if we were going to get everything ready to move in time.  Well, we got things ready enough.    Thanks to Derek, Blaine, Julianne, Trenton, Jordan for helping us move and to Mom for watching Briggs.  I can't believe how much "stuff" we've acquired over the last two years!  So after we got all our things moved and finished off with some Papa Johns Pizza, I was exhausted- sinus infection and 2AM bedtime the night before.  Those boxes were just going to stay that way for a while.  I had one of the two bathrooms cleaned.  Except for the tub.  I had attempted to clean the tub several times but every time I started I would get too overwhelmed and give up.  At one point I was even scrubbing it with a pumice stone which apparently is a no-no for a fiberglass tub.  It was seriously disgusting!  I wish I had gotten before and after pics.  So like any good daughter, I roped in the help of my mother.  She's had a little more experience cleaning than I do so I knew she would know some tricks.  We started out with spatulas and scissors and graduated to big dry wall spatula things to scrape all the soap and water scum.  That and lime-away.  Oh lime-away, you are my friend.  2 hours later...whala.  A beautiful fiberglass tub.  Mom, you are my hero.  I'm sure everyone at church was also appreciative that we were able to take a shower as well. 
     Today my friend Rocki Nelson and her two girls came over to help me organize.  Rocki lived next door when we live in the apartments and I swear I don't think I've ever seen an even remotely dirty house.  Really.  She volunteered to help me organize and I jumped at the offer.  We worked all day (besides a little taco bell lunch break) and my kitchen is beautiful!  The cupboards don't have doors yet- they are in Willcox waiting for us to paint them- but everything is super organized and clean.  At least in the kitchen and front room.  Thank you Rocki!! 
     As for Briggs... he is adjusting ok.  It was kind of rough the first couple nights.  There is a street light that shines directly into his room and I hadn't washed the blinds yet.  He wasn't used to the light and woke up several times throughout the night.  But I put the blinds on yesterday and he did better so hopefully he's getting used to his new surroundings and will continue to do good.  He is still not walking.  I realize he still has time and people tell me to count my blessings. But I think, if he's crawling around and getting into everything anyway, he might as well be walking.  As long as he's not tall enough to open doors.
     I played the piano at the YW's New Beginnings tonight.  I have no idea why they asked me. I think because I'm the primary chorister people assume I'm this amazing musician.  Well, I'm not and it was very apparent in my many missed notes.  Why did I not practice more growing up?!  I really enjoyed listening to all of the talks that were given.  Our ward has such cute young women.  Not very many girls but they are so cute!
