Amazing Friends!!!!!!

It has now been a year since we moved into our new home. As I look back on the whole process it was worth the wait and all the work. (and tears) :) I was thinking of the weekend we moved in and the help we had that weekend. Friday afternoon our appliances were delivered and Scott and I were standing in our unfinished living room discouraged! We wanted so desperately to move in the following day, but we were overwhelmed by all that need to be done. Little did we know that our friends Jackie and J.D. were coming to move us in!!

We all put smiles on our faces, filled up buckets with warm, soapy water and Murphy's Oil Soap, grabbed some rags, and set to wiping cabinets, walls, floors, and beams.

My sister in law Darcy was so nice to come and help us out too.

Scott was very happy to have J.D there to help out. J.D. was in a bad snowmobiling accident and was still recovering from it. He smashed his knee, and the recovery process had been very slow and very painful. Yet he put aside the pain and didn't complain, and worked all day!! He is amazing and my boys have learned so much from him.

We stopped for a feast that Jackie brought. Sandwiches, chips, fruit, and soda. Not only did they come to work , but they brought lunch too!! :)

Timothy and J.D. were getting ready for an Oreo licking race.


KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I can't remember who won, I don't know that anyone does, but they had alot of fun and we were in stitches! :)

Macy had the upstairs covered as far as making sure everyone stayed working. She did allow an occasional coffee break! :)

Neva figured if Macy had things under control she could just relax and enjoy her day!

MeMe showed up that day with a housewarming gift for Acelia. She made this and quilted it too!

They worked till dark. Scott and J.D. are tiling the wall under the cabinets.

Mission accomplished!

Happy and grateful to our friends and family!!

Jackie had some ideas of her own on how to end the day! BROWNIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just the smell of those cooking said, "Were home!"

The Harding children eating brownies and ice cream in their new home!!

Thank you so much Jackie and J.D. for your hard work and all your help that weekend. We wont forget it. :) (I think Acelia needs to go to bed! :)
