FURNITURE ARRIVED!!

Well folks, Cheryl and I worked all morning moving stuff around, and in the garage! Bigger job than we thought! Remember, I could not do anything until DH was gone! DH went xmas shopping and left us, he told us so we could hang out for the day like we had planned.
I told him to call me when he was coming home, in case I wanted him to pick up anything.
~~~~~~The guys arrived on time, right at 1:00! We had called to see if they could deliver earlier, but they couldn't.
~~~~~~After everything was in it's place and the guys left, Cheryl and I went to dusting and cleaning the glass, on everything. We decided to leave the glass shelves out of the Curio Cabinets because they were heavy, and we thought that DH would enjoy helping me put all of Jeffrey's collectibles inside. So, I got all of the collectibles out of the boxes and lined them up, in order, of the different types. I had two of them already sitting out, so I had to dust them.
~~~~DH called to say he was on his way. I suggested Happy Hour, but the weather had turned nasty and was rainy and cold. So, there went that idea!

~~~~When DH walked in the front door, I was standing at in the family/kitchen area, where I could see him walk in, and yelled "SURPRISE!" He just stood there checking everything out, and soaking it in. (There was still the family room and kitchen to enter!) He didn't have a scowl on his face.... it was more like.. "What???" I said aren't they (the furniture) nice? He said "Yeah..", so I went to hug him and kept talking excitedly. I walked to the family room/kitchen area, so he followed. He saw the end table between our two easy chairs; and the HUGE (tall) kitchen table! His eyes opened wide, but he went over to it and ran his hands over the top of the table. I sat on one end of the table, and urged him to sit on the chair. He loved it! But I had to keep asking him. Like it? He loved it! He said, so this is your Christmas present, huh? I corrected him. "This is our Christmas present!" BUT, he better get me something personal, cuz I already got him at least 3 things!
~~~~~~Oh, what a RELIEF that was!! After he checked out everything, he started to put in the shelves, and I started to dust off the collectibles that were in Jeffrey's room. The dust was heavy, and there were a lot of small places to get into to clean, and boy was that a chore! I ended up using wet Q-Tips. It took me a long time!
~~~~Jesse loaded everything (and I let him - while I dusted). Everything looks great! I'll get pictures loaded on here in a couple of days. Thanks for all your toes and fingers crossed, and prayers, and good thoughts coming my way! WHEW!!
