Week in review

Written by karen on May 26th, 2010

Here are the highlights from the last few days.

Last week, we got a few loads of furniture out of storage, moved a bed and couches into the house, and spent our first couple nights there.

On Saturday, we went to Tucson to get the rest of the tile to finish the shower. We also got a beautiful refrigerator, some more cabinets, and various other stuff. It was a long but productive day. We felt a little like the Beverly Hillbillies with everything tied up in back of the truck to come home.

This is the biggest fridge I've ever had. Brad got us one that uses less power than a 60 watt lightbulb.

On Tuesday, we had a big adventure (and one we hope not to repeat anytime soon). We were working late at the house, and close to sunset, I went outside and saw a little baby cow near the gate. (There are tons of baby animals everywhere now. They are so cute.) Brad came out, and I told him to look at the cute calf. “Oh my god, there are cows everywhere,” he screamed. Yes, a half dozen or so big cows and their babies had gotten in the gate. Ugh. We spent the next hour or so running at top speed trying to round them up and get them out the gate. Forty acres is really big when you’re trying to herd cows on foot and get them out an eight-foot fence. Amazingly, we were successful. And very tired. We’ll be closing the gate more from now on.

Wednesday we had the work phone lines transferred to the new office and got Internet in. Having phone work done here is always a little scary, but so far so good. (I’m actually posting this from the house.)

We also got our desks set up, and the office is looking great. It will be so good to be all in one place soon!
