Finally!
It finally happened -- we finished buying our new house. I'll spare you the details, but it was a bit of a nail biter til the very end. But it's done now, and we're very pleased and looking forward to living there.
Today, the movers come with most of our stuff. I say "most" because we also have a ton of stuff at our parents' houses and in storage, since we moved out in order to make our old place look nicer for the months it was on the market. We'll work to get the bones of the place in working order and clean today. Tomorrow, we move our clothes in and go grocery shopping, with the goal of finally spending the night there tomorrow!
The nicest thing about our new place is that it backs to a wetland area with lots of trees, which gives our bedroom the feeling of a tree house. Love! Also, I'll have a sewing/crafting room again. I think I'm going to paint it a bold color, but I'm just not very good with color. I need to have TT friends come over and make suggestions!
I also bought a vintagey bathing suit from Modcloth since we'll be joining the pool down the street today. A pool nearby was one of our house-choosing criteria, for Elyse purposes, but I'm not really a pool hang-outy person, so that is going to take some adjustment!
So excited to get the place in some order and then have friends over. Squee!!!
