We were able to close our loan Thursday and spend our first weekend in the cabin. Despite taking so long to finish the house, the builder did a really good job and everything came together beautifully.

We rented a moving truck Friday and loaded the furniture I'd been storing for months. Cabin furniture was stashed throughout our house in Tuscaloosa -- a toy box here, a couple of chairs there, etc. It's nice to have those things out of the way here and in place as I pictured them at the cabin.

My parents helped us unload the truck and put furniture together, and stayed at the cabin with us Saturday night. Caden and Ansley liked their room and spent some time playing outside Sunday as we situated everything in the house. Eddie and Sonja visited for a few hours Sunday, and our niece, Michelle, and her friend Megan dropped by just before we left. Everyone liked the way the cabin turned out.

Here are pictures we took:


We're going to work on the yard the next few weekends.
