THE BOLINGBROOK MORGE FAMILY: House Remodeling

On Wednesday, May 20th, we bought a new house in Bolingbrook, officially closing that day. My father was with me and Gabriella while we met with the lawyer, realtor, and other people to sign and close on our house. Kevin was in San Diego, CA working. However, once it was all over, Kevin and I were so happy and were so excited to have our new house. Whooo Hooo!! Afterwards, our realtor, John Budz, my father, Gabriella, and I went out for lunch to celebrate for a short time. After we ate lunch, I went to Uncle Tim's to drop off Gabriella and the realtor dropped off dad at my house.

On that same day after lunch, Dad and I started do some remodeling in our house such as painting, tiling, wood flooring, and so on!! We worked our butt off on these for almost two whole weeks. How exhausted we were, especially Dad, since he did the most! He did way beyond awesome work for us. Kevin and I thank you, Dad, for all the extreme work you have done. We are so lucky to have you in our life! Thank you and Love you, Dad!! Also, for Uncle Tim, I thank him for watching Gabriella the whole weeks whenever I needed him to watch Gabby while I worked with dad on my house. It saved my time!! Uncle Tim, we are so lucky to have you living close to us! We thank and love you!

One of the weekends, other families stopped by to check out the house and had errands to do for us. It was nice having them around and to see our house for the first time. While Uncle Time wasn't able to watch Gabby on the weekend, Babcia Anna, Aunt Danuta, and cousin Tomasz were taking care of her. That included Aunt Danuta's friend Deidra. Glad it worked out so that Gabriella was not in our way while we worked on the house.

One of these weekends, Kevin, Dad, Gabriella, and I went to Peoria to get our stuff out of my parents' basement and loaded them in the trailer connected to Dad's van. My parents' neighbor loaned us his trailer to load stuff in it. Thanks to the neighbor! The next morning, we all went back to Bolingbrook and unloaded stuff in the third garage. We went back to work in house to do a few things. After a few days, it was all done. Thank God it was over! Whew.. Dad went back to Peoria. He was looking forward to playing golf. He definitely needed to enjoy his time with golf. While Dad drove back to Peoria, Kevin and I were excited and discussed where the furniture and stuff would go. Most of the time, I cleaned the house while Daddy (Kevin) watched Gabriella. We slowly moved our furniture and unpacked our boxes. It took a little time to do all of this stuff. Other than that, we were so happy!
