"New" house

A couple weeks ago Ryan was watching the show called "Kitchen Nightmares".  It is a TV series about a chef going into restaurants that should be doing well, but are doing HORRIBLE, and he fixes these "nightmares" using good menus and good business plans. It's very interesting.  Well, then we started thinking about what we would do in our house to make it "simpler", "run better", be more "successful".  And the weekend turned into a "home makeover". :)

We went through a bunch of stuff and got rid of a lot of it.  Then we moved our entertainment center into Kyler's room as a storage shelf, moved the bigger TV and the recliner out into the living room, the computer desk into the main room and therefore Kyler now has a room to himself (and a little storage space.) :)  It was not easy to move it all...but it was SO worth it and our lives feel more full and simple in just the past month now because of those changes.

We couldn't have done it without help though.  Ryan is a wonderful husband who had to take apart and put together large pieces of furniture.  Zac is the wonderful brother in law who helped with the big pieces of furniture.  My brother Brandon came over to play with the kids, the Ipod, and be the "go-fer" boy.  Kesley and krista were the wonderful aunts who helped entertain the kids.  :)  We couldn't have done it without you all!

And to celebrate--a Panda feast! :)

We were all exhausted by the end of the day--but I love my little apartment that much more now! :)

Fun times!
