Well, it's official, we are now in our new home! To be honest, I would have written this blog a few days ago but A) I didn't have any free time and B) I couldn't find my computer...
But we are in the house four days now and we are loving our new digs! It is a process that will take a little time to get everything in the right place, figure out what we need, assess how we will best use all of this space and work out the details, but it feels so good to be home.
The boys have been telling everyone about the new house, their big rooms, cool wall colors and awesome backyard. Not to mention the fact that there is a playground right down the street and we have gone a few times already. They are having the easy jobs of just moving in and making the best of our house.
Chris and I, on the other hand, have been busy at work! We each took off the week to paint, unpack the PODS, clean and get everything in the house. And it just so happened to be the hottest week of the year when all of this was happening, so we definitely deserve the break that we are getting tonight. We still have some unpacking to do but after painting half of the house and doing lots of heavy lifting, a few boxes can stay unpacked in the garage for another night or two.
The house is already looking like a home and we are looking forward to putting our art on the walls, picking a new color scheme for our room, decorating the boys rooms with their new themes and living here. The neighbors are really nice and it is exciting to see this as our long term home. Signing away the next 30 years on a mortgage was a little daunting but we are really thrilled with the house, the amount of space that we have to live in and can't wait to make many memories here!
