Hmmm... When exactly does the moving end?

Anyone remember me boasting about how this house was "move- in ready"?! Right when I think we are almost done, something else comes up. For example, there was a void in the wall in laundry and after two weeks of getting it fixed, we finally went to hook up the washing machine and discovered the cold water connect is faulty. Which of course now means we wait for a plumber to come out to fix it. Oh and when we had our in-line water filtration system put in (our choice), the plumber cut into one of the pipes and noticed that they were very thin and would probably need replacing. No the house does not appear to be a lemon, we knew a these things were going to need to be repaired... it's just that we are getting a great big welcome to world of home-owning! :)

PS... Considering I grew up in this neighborhood, you would think I would have remembered that with the privacy of all of these beautiful trees surrounding you comes spiders and crickets IN YOUR HOUSE.

PPS... All of the packing, unpacking, moving, shopping, spending, decorating, fixing, mowing, weeding, trimming, cleaning, painting and bug killing is all totally worth it. We are so happy in our new house!

We're In!

WOW... Moving is a lot of work! After days and days of packing, unpacking, trashing, cleaning and organizing, we are finally somewhat settled in our wonderful new home! We LOVE it just as much as we did the first time we walked through the door. Of course there is lots to be done and with a personality like mine, patience is what I am striving for! I'm really trying to take my time and enjoy decorating (of course the process will be slow due to lack of funds from buying a house!). Please come by and see us anytime!

It's official... the townhouse is on the market! While I am sad to leave the house that I brought my little baby home to seven years ago, I am looking forward to all of the happy memories we will share in our new home (more to post on that later...). So if you know anyone looking for a townhouse... it is a great place at a really great price!
