Why, yes, that can be our last name

According to the City of Oklahoma City Alarm and Permits Division, we are ...

Sorry for the unnecessary head tilt.

The Bevrkink's.

Jack has seen every version of the last name, but this one, was a first. Perhaps I didn't write legibly? Bad typos?

Who knows. I'll make a call and get this corrected.

Until then, Bevrkink.

(PS. also that day I got a "Gerurkink" on a package.)

More Unpacking...

While Jack and I try to unpack, plan where things are going to go, work, cook dinner..... our sweet Duncan Dog has been... well, trying to help.

He has successfully chewed a hole in his new bed from my Mom.

We have done a dry run on his new Paw Cleaner from my Mom.

He loves his new backyard! We find him running around with all of his toys.

He takes naps on the couch.

He did *help* Jack put a bed together. "Help" is loosely used.

And, well, he naps on the couch.

The first week, Duncan was a little spooked. He has calmed down since then and we think he really likes it!

Unpacking....

It's a usual activity for me to anywhere from one to three loads of laundry a day - I really don't like spending ALL DAY on a Saturday or Sunday doing laundry, so I do a little each night. I planned ahead - before moved the machines, I made sure the essentials were clean and ready for the week. Well, with moving, I went 6 days without doing laundry because they weren't hooked up! We ran into a little situation - our old house used a 3 prong dryer outlet, while all new homes (since 1999 at least) use a 4 prong!

Jack purchased a new cord and called where we purchased the machines. According to them, changing the cord is like changing a light switch. So, last Saturday, with our computer researching DIY dryer cord replacement through blogs and YouTube - Jack successfully rewired the dryer!!

With a little research, maybe it is like changing a light switch.

Me, ensuring they work. They do!

Big thanks to Jack for rewiring the cord!

Packing!

I finally spooked myself into thinking "we must start packing.... or else!" So, I grabbed my newly purchased banker's boxes (no, I'm not banker, but I think their boxes rule!) and I packed up the guest room bookcases.

My Empty Bookcases... Ready to go!

My first 5 boxes packed and labeled! About 25 to go....

While I was packing, Jack was watching the Sing Off (I would come in and catch part of acts - it's such a fun show!) and working on his balancing act....

He is so talented!

Jack helped keep Duncan occupied; Duncan thinks he is a professional mover... well, by "mover" I mean thief. He is a known thief.

We will keep you updated on our packed boxes count and all other "moving and packing" related things.
Happy Monday Eve!

It's the 13th.....

And we didn't close today.

No problem; we will close on our house Wednesday at 3:00pm.

Until then.....we must start packing. Must..... start..... packing......

House!

October 1st marked the official "Jack and Kayla are house hunting" season. We spent about six weeks looking around NW Oklahoma City for our first house. As of November 11, we are under contract to buy a house! It's brand new, ready to move in, 3 bedroom/2 bath house in a great little neighborhood. We are set to close December 13th (and I think we are still on schedule for it). Here's a sneak peak on the house (I'll post more pictures once we have signed the hundreds of papers and it's officially ours).

We get to choose the color for the front door! We are thinking red...

We are excited to make this transition from renting to owning!
