Busy, Busy Busy

So basically we have been SUPER busy these past few weeks.  I am SO ready for things to slow down and actually sit and relax for awhile.  Most people know I love my TV, and I haven't really watched anything for the past 3 weeks!!  I'm going through withdrawels!  haha!  Thankfully I have my Oprah Behind the Scenes of Season 25 that I have recorded and have been watching a lot of while I unpack.  I love that show!!

Well we got moved, unpacked, and mostly settled.  We pretty much only have the decorations and wall hangings to find a place for now and we will be done and ready to relax!  That is this weekends project, along with a few minor details in other rooms. 

We are loving the house and all of the space we have now!  I especially LOVE the location!  It is SOOO nice to be so close to lots of things.  Especially Super Target.  I have pretty much been there every day since we have moved, keeping them in business, don't worry!  :) 

What we DO NOT love is the blanket of dog hair that was covering our house when we moved in.  We are definatley not pet people, but after this experience I can pretty much guarantee we will never have a pet indoors.  It was/is so nasty.  We have vacuumed multiple times, had the carpets cleaned, and febreezed a ton and it still stinks AND we are still finding dog hair everywhere!  It is so frustrating!  I hate not feeling like Brynlee should even be on the floor and how much it smells down there for the kids.  We even bought a new vacuum, especially for removing pet hair.  Hopefully that helps!  I'm pretty sure the people who lived in the house before us did not clean, possibly ever.... That is how bitter I am about the whole dog hair situation.  I know, very little problem in the scheme of things, but it is ruining my enjoyment of the house.  Feel free to give us any tips on how to get rid of the hair and most importantly the smell. 

As far as our jobs go, Paul started his new job on Monday.  He is a Specialist in the State Office for the Farm Service Agency.  So, the same agency he has always worked for, but this position is in the state office.  Basically he is support for the loan officers around the whole state. 
I started my new job on Wednesday.  I am working for the Lincoln Diocese in the Catholic schools as a Training Specialist in the Educational Technology.  So basically I train teachers on technology things and also am a support staff for some of the technology, like Blackboard and Smartboards.  Definately a very different job and environment than what I am used to.  Going to be an adjustment for awhile.  I am loving the welcoming atmosphere of everyone I have met and I have already met lots of great people I am excited to see again. 

Gradyn and Brynlee started at daycare today.  We found an awesome gal, Kellen, for them to go to!  She is a lot like Doreen, our old daycare provider who we LOVED.  She does a lot of preschool activities and projects, which is perfect for Grady.  He loves it there and didn't want to leave the first 2 times we went to visit!  I am so excited that we found her!  And, she is really close to our house and on the way to work!  The only obstacle was that she doesn't have room for Brynlee until October 1st, so Brynlee is going to my Aunt Lori's (who has an in home daycare) until then.  Which, just so happens to be in the exact same neighborhood as Kellen!  Yay!  It worked out perfectly!  So, we will each drop off 1 kid on the way to work and it will depend on the day on how they get picked up.  Today I was running late so we each picked up one, hopefully in the future I can pick up both of them. 

Other than that we have just been settling in and trying to get things organized.  I forgot how much work goes in to a new house and how many things you need to get to make it work.  I will try to take some pics and post soon!  I'm so excited about Grady's room, we are doing a baseball theme, and for the kids Play Room in the basement.  It will be so nice! 

Oh, and Brynlee also went for her 4 month check up last week and had 4 month pics taken!  New post of that to come soon!
