Unpacking -- Day One

Most of these pictures just show huge mess. Serious mess. Boxes everywhere. Stacks. Piles. CRAZINESS! But hey, there's been progress, and I love organizing. It works out.

In the bedroom (we are going to keep all music things in there since it's definitely bigger than any Utah bedrooms)

Marcus was feeling super sick, so he and Chicago took a nap. It took him about two days to feel better. But while he was napping, I made some great progress unpacking.

CHRISTMAS TREE! (He did help a bit before his nap.)

I can't tell if I just scattered the mess or actually did something productive. But the front room does have less boxes.

And we did get the couch and the nearby corner cleaned up.

And at least you can see the kitchen area now. Definitely progress :)

Ah, the bathroom. If you've ever had a crazy toilet in your home, you've got nothing on us! You can't see it here, but trust me, it's way old school. Seriously.

This room is actually now a total mess too, but the bed is made.

There's some of the mess. Nate Berkus said we always put off our bedrooms until last because we want to get rooms people see presentable. I'm going to mark this moment as my Nate moment and decide to work on that room next!

Moving in December probably wasn't the best idea, but the Christmas tree in all the pictures is a nice touch :)

To reward our good efforts, we watched The Polar Express. Marcus had never seen it! Well, he still really hasn't since he fell asleep at the end.

But check out all the empty boxes...

Obviously we're making more progress all the time, but I feel like it's slowing down a lot now. The living room is coming together, and the bedroom actually looks like a room not just a pile of cardboard and drawers. Hopefully by the weekend it will really look nice. By nice, I mean no huge boxes obstructing any hallways :)
