When we got the essentials unpacked, we knew we had to get furniture because when we moved back home from Colorado, we had to get rid of almost all of our furniture because Jason rented a truck that was way too small to hold all of our belongings. We had to go out and go furniture shopping and it was so hard finding something we liked in our price range.
We finally settled on a living room set at Ashley Furniture and a dining set at Jeromes. Jason picked up the dining set on his way home from work when it was ready. We had the living room set delivered. When the delivery guy got here, he couldn't get the couch in the house. We have a wall right at the front entrance and they couldn't get around it. I kept suggesting they move it a certain way to try and get it through. They kept saying it wouldn't work. However after probably 15 minutes of trying it their way, they finally tried my way and it came in with no issues.
We spent the next week settling in and getting ready for Thanksgiving. Yes, although I was nearly 7 months pregnant, I still wanted to make and have Thanksgiving in our new home. It was a hit. My brother and sister came, along with my in-laws. I made everything by scratch and even tried new recipes to make it healthier.
Next was our first Christmas. We got a tree and decorated it and had a nice quiet day. We then spent the rest of the day visiting our families to exchange gifts.
We were so happy to finally have our own place where we could raise our children.
