3/27/2006 - Monday

We're in!

We moved almost everything on Saturday, and made a second trip on Sunday to pick up anything we forgot.

The inside of the house looks great! But somehow, the "to do" list didn't get any smaller:) The yard is a disaster. We need to pick up and dispose of all the construction trash that seems to be everywhere (especially the big pile of drywall scraps outside our front door). That will hopefully happen on Saturday. We also need to get rid of the big heaps of dirt that are all over the place, level out the ground, and plant some grass seed. (The rest of the yard desperately needs to be bush-hogged). Plus, the outside of our house still isn’t painted, and also very much resembles a barn. At some point, we really need to “finish” the outside of the house, which includes building the front porch.

We can't quit spending money yet either (as much as I wish we could). There isn't anywhere to sit down in our house. I think we own three chairs between the two of us:) There isn’t much in the way of furniture right now; no computer desks, no nightstands, and the only place to sit is the kitchen table: ) We're both feeling a pressing need to acquire a couch. (I think Kevin’s mom is helping us with this, which makes her doubly awesome. She already found some dishes, pots and pans, and other items for us that have made these last few days possible. Without her, our kitchen wouldn’t have anything in it! Thanks Wendy!)

It’s ok though. We’re in, and I feel incredibly fortunate. I cooked dinner on Sunday in my new kitchen using my new stove, and willingly did the dishes in my new dishwasher:) For now, we can relax. The rest will come.
