Here are the last couple pictures we took at our old house and the last bath Coop had in the old bath. We will miss that little house, we have lots of wonderful memories there, but we are excited for our new adventure in our new home and we can't wait for a bit more space.
When we found out we were closing earlier than the original date we decided we wanted to have everything we needed before we moved in, so the day before we moved in I drove down to Utah to get our new bed and nights stands, the plan was to get the dining room table and chairs too, but they wouldn't fit. Coop did so great so on the way home I stopped in Bountiful to grab a bite at Carl's Jr and let him play for a while.
AUGUST 2ND: MOVING DAY
The morning of moving day I went to buy our mattress and Coop was jumping from bed to bed basically the whole time we were there and while I was checking out he jumped onto a box spring and immediately grabbed his shin and started to cry. I held him and when I tried to put him down he couldn't walk. I took him home and let him play while I finished packing a few more things, he just sat and played and wouldn't even try to stand up. After a couple hours of this I took him in to get x-rayed, Nic said it looked like there could be a small something but nothing we needed to worry about, that if he needed held for a few days to do that. After that we went over to the mortgage company and signed our lives away and then had to wait for the sellers to sign their papers so just continued packing and preparing. Once we got the word, Ry's family came over and we took loads and loads up to the new house, I stayed at the old house making sure everything was labeled and organized and let Coop nap. The rest of the day between Ry's family, us and my family we got most of our stuff up to the new house. We set up Coop's bed first so he would have somewhere to sleep that night, Ry wanted to sleep in our new house that night.
I deep cleaned the new house while they kept bringing in loads and started to unpack the kitchen and get things where I wanted them. Once we got as much up as we wanted for the day Ry grabbed Café Rio and we ate our first meal at our new house on the floor. Once we got Coop put to bed that night, he was so excited for "Cooper's new house" and went straight to sleep, Ry and I set up our bed. We didn't have any of our tools up here yet so I had to run down to our friends' house to borrow some of their tools so we could get our bed set up. I was so tired and told Ry that I really wouldn't mind just laying down our mattress and sleeping, but he refused that, he wanted to sleep in his new bed with everything set up the first night. We finally got it all together and got to sleep around 2:00AM.
Coop loved playing in the boxes and really was the best mover, he didn't have any trouble with the transition. He loves playing outside at our house, he loves watching sunsets with us (and tries to use it as a way to stay up later, sometimes it works). We didn't get our dining room table for a few days so we let Coop have his little tikes table and he loved eating there, he snuggled with Ween while I got things organized and he just loves our new house.
Coop's new room all set up for his first nights' sleep and eating breakfast at his table.
This was the first and last time Ry ever mowed our lawn with a normal lawn mower, a few weeks after we moved in he bought a riding mower, Coop loves to go for rides on it.
The first weekend in our house was SO busy, Ry had a fund raiser at Highland, Jeffery got baptized and we had a birthday dinner for Wendy (Ry's mom). That first week we got settled and unpacked as much as we could, Coop and I would got pack and clean the rest of the duplex after the gym in the mornings, it took a while to get everything completely done but if felt so great to finally have it all done.
Ry left for Rock Springs for work a couple days after we moved in and was gone for about 3 weeks. I felt bad that he only got to enjoy our new house for a couple days before he was gone. While he was gone our new furniture arrived, we got our dish and internet hooked up, got our new washer and dryer and I tried to get every single box unpacked and I did it! We love our new home and are so excited for the things to come while we live here!
