Move/Scott/Party/Football/Rest

Move/Scott/Party/Football/Rest was the theme of they Payne's week. They started full pledge moving into their new house last Sunday, Sept 20, and after spent their first night in their new home on Tuesday, Sept 22. All members of the Payne family, including Paisley and Cooper, got a good nights rest in their new home. Now both Erin and Brandon are having their sentimental moments (probably more so Brandon because everyone knows he loves the memories).

However that didn't mean they were done moving. The rest of the week included moving odds and ends from their old house and the art of unpacking.
Brandon's brother helped him get their new TV mounted above the fireplace. You got to see their TV. Their dvd player and charter box are sitting in the wall behind the tv and are being controlled by a IR/RF device. Brandon had found RF remotes fro $400 but THEN found a IR/RF device that let you use your original remote and it only cost $60.

Both sets of in-laws helped a great deal in cleaning, hanging fans, and unpacking. This all had to be done by Saturday because they were throwing Erin's mom a surprise 50th birthday party. Kathy had no clue she was cleaning for her own party (that is the sneakiness of The Paynes).

On Friday night, Brandon's long time buddy and most importantly CUZZ, came into town. Scott and LB came up to Arab to hang with The Paynes. Brandon loved it. On his way home from work, Scott called and asked about plans. It took Brandon directly back to high school. They all decided to go eat Mexican and then off to the Arab/Guntersville football game. Guntersville ended up losing but it was a great time (least for BP and Erin :) ). Scott was stunned at how small the players seemed and even one time tried to jump the fence to tackle an Arab player smack talking the Guntersville player that wore Scott's old number. After the game they returned home to tour the new Payne house and to watch a little The Big Bang Theory. Brandon and Erin not sure if Scott and LB were impressed with The Big Bang Theory but they still recommend it. Brandon wants to make sure Scott knows that he is missed!!!!!

So Saturday came and the work continued. Brandon built a bench in the garage for all his tools and then returned to cleaning. Erin took her mom out for breakfast with her sister and returned with Rowan's bedding - TURTLES. Brandon was hoping for Auburn Football :).

At 6:30 Auburn football started and then at 7:30 the party started. It all went well and AUBURN WON!!. Erin loved having enough room to house all her family and cousins. This is something that wasn't even feasible in their old house (max capacity was around 10 people and that was tight on them).

Sunday they got up and went to church and then Erin headed to a baby shower for her cousin. Brandon headed home and for 2 solid hours napped and watche NFL football. It was great. Then he and Paisely, Cooper spent the night on the farm, headed outside to wash all three cars because the day was PERFECT. After the cars were washed, Brandon headed to get Cooper on the farm and change oil in the Trailblazer and to pet Yosimenti.

After that he returned home to join Erin in watching all their Monday shows they missed but had recorded on DVR.
