Thank you helpers!

Now that we are at the one week point, we would like to say thank you sooooo much to all of our helpers!  The first person over to help was Grandpa Fisher, but unfortunately I didn't catch a picture of him helping me move a bunch of boxes in because well, we were busy moving heavy boxes!  GrandMom and GrandDad came over on the first day of us really getting down to business in the house and she mopped the whole house and helped unpack the kitchen some more and he did some weeding and made all of our windows look brand new!  Thanks so much to both of them! Pictured below is GrandMom with her mop!

A big thanks also to Jared's brother Jordan for coming over on the first night with Mom and Dad and helping us knock out painting a huge portion of the main living area!

An even bigger thanks to Jared's Mom and Dad for being total troopers.  Not only did they come over for the initial painting, but they even took Monday and Tuesday off of work to help us get some more stuff done.  Dad was a pressure washing machine with his awesome new pressure washing drum and extension pole.  If you remember from past pictures, our pool screen and deck were super nasty, and he made them look a million times better.  Our deck will still need a new coat of something, but the pool screen practically looks brand new.  And thanks so much to Mom for being a Rachel of all trades.  She helped us clean, did some painting, lots of taping, and even some babysitting so other people could help out!  I will have to catch a picture of them in action sometime soon!

Two other people I missed in photos were Tyler and Meagan.  Tyler came over two days and Meagan came over one day to help paint.  It is amazing how much more we can get done with a few extra sets of hands, so thanks so much!

Thank you also to Colette and Kevin.  Kevin came over one day and I can't even count how many days Colette was over helping us.  Thanks so much for all of your help painting and taping!!!

And of course, my little nephew, the star!  Thanks so much Jameson for being patient while I used your Mommy and Daddy and for being the best little model out there!

And then of course a big thanks to Jared's cousin Sydney for all of her painting expertise!  I just wish she had gotten the paint a little more on the wall and not so much on her face!  Really though, she was an awesome helper knocking out the trim and doors in two of the back three bedrooms!

Thank you sooooo much to everyone!  We wouldn't even be close to where we are today without you, so thank you!  We are so beyond grateful for all of your hard work in helping us to realize our dreams for this home!
