We have been unpacking like crazy and there are times that I just have to leave the house to get away from the madness. It can get overwhelming.
My brother helped us disassemble our kitchen table and work out equipment. He asked if he could tape the screws and bolts (which were in baggies) to the bottom of things. HeRoos suggested that we label all those little baggies and put them in one large bag. We've run into a problem...the large bag is nowhere to be found.
If you visit us in a month, don't be surprised if our kitchen table and other furniture is still in pieces. We also found that our bedroom is shaped differently than our previous one and our long dressers don't fit. We're on the search for two tall, black dressers (for cheap). Oh, the joys of moving.
We attended our cul-de-sac barbecue last night and had a good time. All of the neighbors came and they were so nice. Everyone brought their own meat and side dishes to share. I experimented with a Pumpkin Dip and the old Apple Brickle standby. People seemed to like them or at least they faked it well. We were enjoying the cool fall weather and company until BM decided he was ready for dinner and bed.
I'm looking out the window now at the mountains surrounding us. The leaves are changing colors and the birds are flying around trying to discover any goodies that the rain washed up. We are happy to be in our new home and we love the feel of this area.

The bag of missing parts will show up in some random box of clothes - it always seems to happen there. Good luck with the unpacking, just remember it doesn't have to happen in a day.
I'm excited for you! I am really sad that you had to move all the way to Weber but I guess it is for the best so you can be closer to your parents. It will all show up eventually! Hehe I love you 3 and miss you like crazy!!!!!
I am glad that doesn't only happen to me..but I wish it didn't happen to either of us! I had a garage sale and had to make the people come back for the crib screws because they were in a lost bag somewhere. They did eventually come back a month later to retrieve them. I went to Target and they still have the dresser. It is black, 5 drawers. It is on clearance for $140. Loves. Lisa
so excited for you and the new house! Can't wait to see pics. Hope you have found the screws by now...
I can really understand your frustration with the missing screws. (I lost my screws a long time ago and have not been successful in locating them. Sad thing is they weren't for my table!!!) I am so thrilled and delighted you have moved alot closer to us. I am so looking forward to having spontaneous playdates with B.M. Love, G.R.
