Hello there! Well, the mobile home is now at ____ Sheridan Rd. in Millington:) We are now going to be working on painting and flooring so it will be ready to move into the week of November 9th! It makes our camper look really small:) My dad and Heather came out on Monday and got to the property right when they got there with the mobile home... So, they got to see it come down the driveway. Jeremy's Dad and Sherry were there to help as well and help they did! Thank you! Moving the expando out was a little tricky but not as hard as I thought it would be! It was scary for a moment - looked real tippy:) Tuesday was a rough day at work - I was very very tired from being outside in the cold all day Monday (didn't get home til 9pm that night) and had a hard time at work. I almost fell asleep standing up a few times and didn't know if I would make it through the 10 hour day! So, Tuesday night, I took Brooke to the barn to ride and went to get groceries in Vassar while she was there being watched by Leah... Then, back to pick her up and head home and we made it into bed at 9:40pm!!! So, Wednesday I felt a little better! At work, we usually hear "rumors" about any scheduling changes before they actually announce any. After our first break that morning, breaking news came across our andon board - "due to market conditions, Orion will be down (laid off) for the week of November 9th! Boy, when it rains it pours! Being laid off for one week is a bummer - it just messes up pay periods, etc. Had to go out to Millington that night to seal up the mobile home a bit better because we had pulled the expando out but the corners still had to be covered up and it was supposed to rain. The kids played outside and had some good oldfashioned fun! Can't wait to move out there! Thursday the boys and Jeremy had haircuts and I took Brooke out to the barn again and got home early but stayed up late catching up on house stuff! Got up early this morning because Jeremy and I met our loan officer at Greenstone in Lapeer at 8am. I stayed for 30 minutes but then left with Brooke and Lyndsay to get her to Ann Arbor appointment at 10am. It took them an hour to get her all hooked up and give us instructions on the video equipment and off towards home we went! We got home about 12:40pm and I spent a lot of time on the phone, learning that we will be called on Monday to set the closing date for our house (YIPPEE!). All is going great on that end! One good thing about being laid off the week of November 9th is that we will be able to move that week easily! Today I worked on the basement a bit and took some more packed boxes out to the garage and put some by the front door to take in the trailer tomorrow out to the property!
This morning, Jeremy went to the property after the bank appointment to meet his mom and Len there - they were very generous with their time and went out there to paint a room in the mobile home! I can't wait to see it and am soooo thankful for their help! We are going out there first thing in the morning to keep on going!
Brooke is all hooked up and spending most of the time in her room, watching movies and eating! LOL! She has all kinds of wires on her head and is bandaged up and looks like she has a helmet on:) She has a box to hook up to a video box (she can disconnect and come up to use facilities, etc.) So, there is video and sound being recorded 24/7 unless she unplugs. So, there is about 4 foot of cable that allows her some room to move! I might have to wait until she falls asleep to get a picture but I will be nice and not post it for everyone to see! So, she is enjoying her quiet time in "the cave"! I have to change the batteries after 24 hours and we can remove the wires and disconnect Sunday morning. Jerry is taking the equipment back to Ann Arbor Monday morning for me so I didn't have to take off work for that.
So, here are some pictures of the move. I will post more pictures of the inside after we paint some more to show the difference a little bit of paint can make!
Have a great weekend! Chris
