Moving Day 2010 - Conclusion

Now for the end of the story!

The A/C was broken when we arrived, but a guy came that day to look at it. He said the entire unit needed to be replaced. The unit we had used freon, but those aren't used any more, so we needed a completely new unit. He had to talk with our landlord to get approval on what to do next.

Wednesday it rained again, and the A/C guy came again, too. He said they had the approval from the landlord, but they couldn't install a new unit in the rain because it can't get any moisture inside. So we worked as much as we could stand it on Wednesday in the heat. My dad and Peter were able to stay through lunch, and then they headed back to Dallas.

Thursday morning brought the installation of our new A/C unit! *Hallelujah!!!* We drove my mom and Jordan's mom around town and showed them Jordan's school, the church building, the temple, and some other sites while our A/C unit was working hard to cool down our home. We continued unpacking that evening, and we were finally able to sleep in our own home!!!!

Friday morning I arranged the items above the cabinets in the kitchen with my mom's and Jordan's mom's help. Then we took my mom to the airport.

Jordan's dad arrived Friday afternoon, and Saturday he helped Jordan hang curtains, hang a big picture over our bed, fix a kitchen chair, and other things, too, I'm sure. Claire, Jordan's mom, and I went to Walmart to stock our kitchen.

With just a few bumps, we have managed to settle comfortably into our new home. We are so excited to be here. Here's a view of some more areas of our home:






We are so thankful for everyone's help with our move. It's been a long time coming, and we would not be as settled in as we are if we hadn't had all that help. Thank you all so much!

Here are some parting pictures of Claire with most of her grandparents.


If you're coming to Baton Rouge, let us know! We'd love to see you, and we have a sofa bed waiting for you!!!
