All moved in
Some people have asked me based on previous posts whether or not we’ve now moved. We sure have!
The move went surprisingly well although we were expecting the movers to do some packing of awkward things (e.g. stereo) which they weren’t expecting. That hitch aside, nothing and nobody got hurt. Well almost nobody, Colleen cut her self with some very sharp scissors trying to open a box.
We had lots of help from Colleen and Patti’s parents (thanks again!) and the kitchen was cleaned up and unpacked that very day. Patti’s sister Deb came by two afternoons to help Patti refine the kitchen arrangement. I decided not to try to figure out where anything was until after the dust settled.
We’re now 2+ weeks in and its starting to feel like home. Its a really lovely house. The kitchen through to the family is of course turning out to be the heart of the home. We have this other room which people call “living room” but I like to call “room with expensive furniture which we never sit in”. Apparently, according to other home owners, that’s what they’re for.
We’ve had a few guests over so far, including my good long time friend Arun who stayed the weekend (our first house guest!). Its amazing how different it is having a proper spare bedroom and all the extra space, its so much more relaxed having a guest stay over. Mind you, Arun is a pretty relaxed house guest under any circumstances.
