Our First Night in our Home

As December rolls around, it will mark one year in our amazing and wonderful home! We got the keys on December 23, 2016!!

In honor of this I thought I would share how our first night staying at our house went. This is an old story but I must tell it for I don't have it documented anywhere and it's pretty hilarious! 

We signed the papers and got the keys to our home on December 23rd 2016! Just one day away from Christmas Eve! 

We wanted to spend Christmas in our new home so we had an air matress, sleeping bag and a mini Christmas tree! 

We put the air mattress up in the soon to be dining room and were so excited for our first night in our home! 

Little did we know our mostly tile house would be freezing cold in the December night! We froze our butts off until about 2 am when we decided we couldn't take it anymore! We didn't know how to use the heater quite yet and the electronic fire place wasn't doing much. We couldn't sleep because we were so cold! 

Finally after hours of shivers I told Dustin why don't we just go to our old place? I added we could get some more blankets and maybe just take a load of our stuff down since we can't sleep anyway? Dustin actually agreed which I was surprised by because sometimes, even I know when my ideas seem kind of crazy. It was crazy because our old house was a half an hour away, in the mountains, on a DIRT road and it was storming rain outside! However our house still had all of our belongings in it!

Aside those details, we left. We got to the gate of our old place and when Dustin clicked the button it wouldn't open...we were really confused/tired for it was like 2 in the morning. This gate is really dumb because you can't open it manually, only with the clicker. The gates battery appeared to have died and so we were unable to take our car up the big, muddy slippery hill. We decided we were not going to waste a trip and so we walked up that muddy slippery hill in the pouring rain...(I was in heels for they were the only shoes I had with me at our new house and I was also pregnant with Jetson!)

When we got to the house it was really tempting to just fall asleep on our bed with our big fluffy comforter. But instead, we sort of went into survival mode, grabbing bags, suitcases and seeing how much we could possibly carry down with us. We loaded essential things like a million more blankets, another sleeping bag, our carbon monoxide alarm, snacks and fuzzy Jammies. We walked down the hill carrying SO much using every limb and even using our mouths to hold things, we must've looked ridiculous.

We drove home in the early morning hours of Christmas Eve and went to our new home, figured out the heater and CRASHED, we slept in until atleast 11 AM the next day. 

It's so funny how we spent our first night in our home, it just goes to show nothing is perfect and you just gotta role with life the best you can!
