Getting things started...

Lately I have been feeling like there was nothing I could do here at the house during the week to get ready for Brooke, because so many things had to be done (like moving heavy objects) before I could go through everything. So this weekend, Mitch and I got to working and accomplished a lot! We braced the attic (installed 1x4s so that boxes weren't sitting on the garage ceiling) and put a ton of things up there, everything from the Christmas decorations to my wedding dress and all of our childhood mementos. Then I started pulling everything out of the closet in what will be Brooke's room. I have a lot to go through but feel like I'm much further along! We also got the weight bench out of the office and into the garage so that I can start going through that room too. I might even have my brother come up one day this week and move the spare bed in there for me. We'll see. But one thing is for sure, I have 2 days off work this week and am going to be accomplishing a lot!
