Tuesday night, the DeNick's came over to tell us it looked like Daniel was a very good candidate to get a scholarship to attend Atlantic Christian School for Kindergarten! Kindergarten is a little over $7,000/ year and all we would have to pay is $1,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, they heard that someone was getting rid of their practically brand new bike and so they got it for me! What? Within 24 hours of us arriving, major things were starting to fall in place!
Also, we got an offer on our house and on our business!
So, we walked the kids around their new neighborhood, took them to the park, showed them their house then we got to work on the new house. Cleaning, Painting, Cleaning Carpets.... stuff that you do when you move into a new house.
Our kids were EXHAUSTED!
And they were getting desperate for their toys... Mr. Greg had given Daniel a Phillies Bobblehead and I caught her holding the bobble head like a little newborn baby. Poor Girl! She was getting desperate!
Even with all of the stuff that we got rid of, we knew not everything was going to fit into our little bay view cottage... a family in the church owns a storage unit facility and they offered us a unit while we were staying in bay view cottage. WHAT A BLESSING!
So, as stuff was coming off of the truck, some boxes were going in the house and some were going straight onto a box truck that Greg let us borrow to take everything to storage.... talk about chaos! I didn't want to be left alone at the house with the movers so the elders moved everything into storage for us... they were AMAZING!
The kids did not sleep with us but they crashed in our bed every morning:)
Our 1st Sunday at New Covenant Community Church!
At the end, they had a nice cake reception welcoming us...we felt right at home!
The next week was Brendon's 1st week back in the office so we were trying to unpack, etc as quick as possible but honestly we were so tired of packing and unpacking that we decided Monday night to hit the beach!
On our walk to the beach, we saw a church that was doing a VBS that week... I thought that would be GREAT for Daniel as that would give him something to do while we are trying to unpack!
That week I spent a lot of time in the car trying to find where everything was... getting lost... LOL!
Shopping... buying those things that you need when you move into a new house like Bath and Body Works Wall flowers.... smell soooo good!
The kids enjoyed eating outside:) Good thing because our dining room table was not accessible! LOL!
Thursday... well Ruben who works for the FAA but we have NO IDEA what he does... we are finally starting to understand that it is confidential:) invited Brendon and Daniel to his job to get a behind the scenes of the BIG airshow that was going to happen that weekend. They had a blast!
Us girls stayed at home and unpacked...
Friday was Daniel's VBS end of the week program... all the pictures I took of him were horrible:(
That night we went on a double family date night with The DeNick Family... so fun!
That Saturday, we had Debbie's house warming party to go to... we had a nice, lazy Saturday morning breakfast and I LOVE how Katelyn prays for her food now...
Then off to the party....
Besides un-packing, we didn't do much!
My mom sent the kids a super cute gift:)
Daniel "Facetiming" with his bestie Zander:)
The kids have made our fireplace a music stage!
I checked out the local library here which is REALLY nice and they have an amazing Storytime with a puppet show... it is so cute! Went to a ladies breakfast on Saturday morning then Barbara took me to this really cool place called "Produce Junction!" They have tons of fruits, vegetables and plants/ flowers for SUPER CHEAP!
I also checked out lots of gyms to see which one was going to fit us best...
Monday, Ili took me out while Brendon watched the kids and we went to a nice mall and hit up some fun stores, had lunch and tea at Teavanna:)
Wednesday was our Family Interview with the school... they approved us:)
Then Thursday and Friday, we worked our tails off because my parents and brother were coming in for Labor Day weekend!
We made it...we got completely unpacked and every box out of our house! Now our storage unit is another story...we have a lot of organizing in there to do!
New Covenant truly spoiled us rotten! Sue Damask DeNick not only took my 2 kids for an afternoon but whipped up a delicious meal for us, Jodi brought AMAZING chicken and veggies pizzas for us one night, Greg brought amazing hoagies for lunch, Barbara Cummings made an INCREDIBLE roast, Beth made us BBQ chicken, Barbara G. made us COUNTLESS breakfasts, lunches and dinners....
