"Let go new house!"

Ryan and I closed on a house yesterday! It is a 3/2 over in the Algood area of Cookeville. It's on the side of town that I wanted to live in, and it's close to Walmart! I was very spoiled in Clemson living so close to the Walmart, so it seems like our current rental house is so far from it (even though it's not really). Our new house it about 10 minutes from the church (about 4.5 miles), so that is good as well. It's in the back of a subdivision, so Josiah and Aedan will have areas to ride their bikes when they get older! The house was a foreclosure, so the inside is not so clean. The carpet is really yucky, so we plan on putting in new carpet. I'm looking forward to painting and getting it looking nice:) We closed in the afternoon yesterday at 2:30. Since it was was during naptime, my friend, Cathy came over to watch Josiah and Aedan. Friends from church, Brian and Jennifer, gave us a gift card to O' Charley's to celebrate the house. Jennifer and her two daughters came over to watch the boys. Josiah loves company, and always cries when they leave. After dinner we took the boys over to the house. The whole way over, Josiah was saying, "Let go new house." It was funny! Josiah and Aedan played all over the flithy floor. Here are some pictures of the evening.

Here's Josiah in the car on the way to the new house!

I went over to the house this morning to try to vaccum the carpet. Even though we're getting rid of it, I don't want the boys to play on it with it being so yucky every time we're over there. I only got the main room and kitchen done. Aedan wasn't liking the pack-n-play, and went I let him out, he was trying to bite the cord. Also, when Josiah and Aedan would disappear into rooms, Aedan would end up crying. I'm sure Josiah was tackling him or something. Maybe I can get over there tonight after the boys go to sleep to finish.
