It doesn’t felt like I’ve sat down in the last 2.5 weeks since the whole moving process begun. We’ve managed to spend a lot of time and money on the house in this time and it’s already looking a ton better. The entire house has been custom painted (like my real estate jargon), all of the outlets have been replaced, new thermostat, new tile in the entryway (kitchen tomorrow, bathroms later this month), and new carpet throughout. Tomorrow’s big agenda is to go back to Lowes and buy new appliances (washer, dryer, fridge, range, and dishwasher). If I have time while Casey’s installing the tile I may go to work on some painting. Three of the four bathrooms, the office, and the kitchen still need to be painted. Other than that the decorating/home improvements are progressing as planned.
With all the space, we’ve managed to get all of our boxes into closets that don’t need to be unpacked right away (Christmas, camping, etc) instead of having a storage bedroom like in the past. It’s nice to have all the extra space but it’s a little too much at this point. We don’t have the furniture to fill it and it’s 28 stairs one way (I counted) so moving boxes up and down and forgetting something turns into a mini workout. Stoli doesn’t even bother following me around anymore if there are more than two trips up the stairs, she just waits on the second floor for me to come back around. Other than setting up bookshelves and hanging up some clothes, we’re unpacked.
Happy Birthday to Randi and Justin (and maybe baby Jack)!!!
