Everyone is probably wondering about our status on moving into our new home over the Memorial Day weekend. The weekend was rather interesting as Shelly worked every day except for Memorial Day, I on the other hand ran up north to the cabin to get the boat out of storage and help Kris/Scott put the dock in.
On Sunday, the storm that produced tornadoes in Coon Rapids and Hugo rolled through our area with damaging winds and golf ball size hail. The house made it through pretty much unscathed; except for the north side of the screen porch that stretched out the screens. However, all of our vehicles received damage with the Toyota Prius being the worse as it was sitting in the parking lot at Walmart. Abby's car has a broken windshield and Shelly's 4-runner has some markings.
On Monday, Shelly and I along with Judy went to Fort Snelling National Cemetary to visit the gravesites of Shelly's Grandpa & Grandpa Dahlquist along with her Aunt June and Joanne. After going to Fort Snelling, we went over to IKEA and had a good old Swedish lunch of meatballs, potatoes, gravy and lingonberry.
Back to the move, well Abby moved completely back into the house on Thursday night so she is pretty well settled in her new bedroom. Aaron's bedroom is starting to take shape as we prepare to bring him home from college on Tuesday, May 27th. As for us, we gradually starting moving over the weekend and actually slept in the house on Thursday night. However, the concrete floor finish on the main floor is under review and we will not be on the main floor for a period of 1-2 weeks starting around June 9-10th and thus the reason for not moving things other than dishes, kitchen, etc. in over this past weekend. Shelly and I are not planning on living in the garage during this period as the bed that we had set-up is now in Abby's room. So, Aaron will more than likely be in the bunk bed out in the garage and Shelly and I living upstairs with Abby for this timeframe.
Now for the positive, take a look at the pictures taken last Wednesday, May 21st:
