Crunch Time

The end of the school year has come and gone!  We celebrated the senior class last weekend with the Senior Dinner on Friday night and a wonderful graduation ceremony on Saturday.  Graduation was awesome.  The weather was perfect.  The student speeches were excellent.  Matt Nathanson ('91) who just finished touring with Sugarland (!!!!) and Little Big Town was the commencement speaker and did an amazing job.  People were happy.  Camden ran around with his friends.  It was a great day.
I love this video of Matt's speech with scenes from the day...check it out if you're interested!


Here are a few other pictures from the day...

 Camden had fun with the girls!

 Micah took a little nap in the stroller...

Now that the school year is over and faculty meetings are done, (today was the first official day of summer!!!!), it is time to crank on the new house!!  We need to move out of the dorm by June 30th and we still have a lot to do to get the house ready.  In all our spare moments we've been painting trim (a very tedious job) and tending to various odds and ends that need to be taken care of.  Before we move in we need to:
-  Finish painting trim upstairs
-  Finish painted the walls in two rooms downstairs
-  The plumber needs to finish his work (toilets, sinks, etc...) - had been waiting for the countertops to go in which are all done now!
-  Get the woodstove set up and lay bricks or whatever we're going to use in that area
-  Re-paint old wood floors
- carpet the stairs and landing (The stairs are unsalvageable and we don't have the money to completely rebuild them from scratch - so carpet for now!)
The list goes on, but you get the idea...we have a ton to do over the next few weeks!  Eeek! 

Starting to move some boxes over!

 Countertops and a kitchen sink!  Yahoo!!

 Hardware on the cabinets thanks to my hubby today and appliances waiting to be installed!  YAY!

 Do you think we'll be ready to move in!??!?!  I hope so!  It's been a long process and I'm ready to get settled over there so we're not always running back and forth.  I'll try to be better about updating the blog with our progress as the month continues.  Wish us luck!
