We Closed!

The close went smoothly last Friday!  (yes its been a week since we closed, as you'll read below we've been quite busy this past week!  hence the delay in the post:))  We signed papers and got our house keys a few hours later.  With all the delays and surprises over the last few months, we were just waiting for something to go wrong during the closing.  But all went well...for a while.  We moved all day Saturday and that went well too.  My parents came over and were able to help us out, we had our washer & dryer delivered, and also got all of our dining room furniture. 

Needless to say, Saturday was very busy and we were excited to get a good nights sleep Saturday night.  That didn't happen.  Rob was not feeling well all night, I think he got about 10 minutes of sleep since his stomach was bothering him.  He woke me up around 6 am Sunday morning to go to the ER (I knew if he was asking to go the ER something must be wrong).  We got there to find out that Rob had appendicitis and would need an emergency appendectomy.  He went right into surgery and we stayed at the hospital for the night.  He was discharged Monday afternoon and has been resting all week.  Tuesday, I went back to work and got a call to find out my dad had gone to the ER in Texas as well - he has a heart arrhythmia and his heart rate was very high.  He also ended up staying a few nights to get his heart rate down and he was discharged on Friday.  It was a crazy week and I am happy and thankful to say that both my dad and Rob are back home and feeling much better!  

This past weekend, we were able to go through and get a few things set up.   We are slowly, with the help of my parents, getting the blinds up around the house.  We got the blinds through JC Penney's on sale at $300 for 17 windows!!  Such a great price!  We also had our couches and coffee table delivered on Wednesday and we love them!  I've got a few pictures below, I'll continue to add photos as we get things set up.

and of course, Rob had to start playing around in the man cave.  

he got his projector and speakers set up and we've watched our first 3D movie!

Rob and I have a few days off this week and I'm sure we'll continue to work on the house.  More updates to come!  Have a great week all!
