Welcome to Nebraska!

 Okay, so let's re-cap:

Friday, June 1st- We left West Point at 5 am to make our way to Nebraska. My parents and Maddie came with us enable to stay the weekend and help us get our house all clean and ready to move into. :) We arrived to our new home in Columbus, Nebraska at about 8:30 pm that night. Honestly, it all just felt so surreal. Our house was just empty so we went to Walmart for a couple of things, came back, set up our air mattresses to sleep on, and went to bed after a very, very long day of driving.
Saturday, June 2nd- My parents and Maddie helped us clean, clean, clean. Justin mowed the lawn. We went to Walmart again, got a few things at Dollar Tree, and ate dinner at Applebees.
Sunday, June 3rd- We went to church at our new branch. It was very strange being in such a small church with so few people. I think there were 8 woman in Relief Society and almost half of them were just visiting. But, the people were all very nice and we felt very welcomed.
Monday, June 4th- We said goodbye to my parents and Maddie. :( It was very sad. I wanted them to stay longer! And, Justin started his 1st day at work at the Columbus, Nebraska BD Medical East plant.
Tuesday-Thursday, June 5-7th- I patiently waited for all of our stuff to come as Keaton and I quickly went insane in a house full of N.O.T.H.I.N.G.
Wednesday, June 6th- We did have a little "excitement" in between waiting for all our stuff to come- on Wednesday night as I was helping Keaton up the few stairs that lead from our mudroom into the kitchen he fell and dangled in mid-air while I was still holding onto his right wrist and it twisted his wrist and I heard it snap... I told Justin right away that I thought I had hurt Keaton's wrist while helping him up the stairs (I felt so extremely bad.). And sure enough, it started to swell up pretty quickly and Keaton would cry and cry if he tried to use it or if we touched it at all. So, off to the emergency room we went.
The doctor did x-rays and then came in to tell us that Keaton had what is called a "torus fracture" in his right wrist a.k.a it was broken and he would have to get a cast. So, they wrapped his arm all up and referred us to a doctor to go to after 5 days and the swelling had gone down so that he could get a hard cast.
Well, over the past 6 days Keaton has adjusted pretty well to his wrapped up arm. He didn't let it bother him too much (Except he really hated it when I wrapped a bag around his arm to take a bath. Yeah, that wasn't fun.). Then today we took him in to the bone doctor to get his hard cast and SURPRISE! The doctor said his arm would heal just fine without the cast! Yippee! Happy day!
