Day 1

We're here! According to the computer it's 1:15am. We moved in the mattress.
We had AWESOME help from two of our friends. They're the best. They jumped at the request for help.

The house is new to me. The Hubby is asleep on the couch in front of the TV. Digital cable never looked so good. No kitchen; but cable, internet and phone are at our beck and call. I love it. I'm typing away in my 'office'/'guest room'. I can't believe how much space we have. I love it. I love it. I love it.

It needs work~I was harassing the Man with, 'what do you want to do first?'. I got 'relax' as an answer. Not a bad idea. I love that I'm typing away from my own office. AHHHHHHH!

We had dinner at a place, of which, I can't remember the name. Tinn..something. I told my gf I wasn't going to remember. Right behind Eastern Market. I can't believe how awesome to this neighborhood is. I'm already falling in love with it.

Everyone has a kid or a dog. Without fail. I wonder if we'll fall susceptible to that. Probably. I'm already asking for a dog, even though I know it's probably not the best time. I think right before we start having kids---that may be the time we settle down and take on the responsibility of a pooch.

I'm in a rambling mood, so I'll probably quit here. Hard, long day that was blissfully smoothed out by spending time with my friends and husband and successfully moving into our first new home. Happy Girl :)

Another Day

This is the way I've made my poor husband feel this week. Sorry, Friend. I'll be better, I promise.

Packed more boxes last night. Had the security doors installed yesterday. Dave said they look good--I did not go to the house. I stayed at the apt. and packed and did laundry.

I can't believe that this is the weekend! We're finally moving into the house. It's been a long two weeks--we've gotten so much accomplished. I'm very proud of us. Novice Contractors teehee. Nothing beginner about ripping up floors and knocking down walls. Or is there? :)

We should have the plumber in this weekend. Once we get moving on the electrician and the plumber we can move forward on sheetrockin' the place and ordering cabinets, etc.

Moving

Well, we've taken it very easy this week. We were supposed to go away this weekend, however, the plans fell through so we get to be here in DC and move at a slower pace. One small carload at a time, we're making our way into our new house. We commented on how full the apartment still looks, but I'm sure things will start to seem less cluttered when we lose some furniture.

Trying to make a decision on the bathroom. Do we totally renovate it? Do we leave it alone and do it later? I'm still trying to figure out what it is we're doing in the kitchen. I don't even know where I'm going to put my Foreman Grill and toaster oven. We have nothing to set them on. Is the electrical work good enough to even hook up that many appliances at one time?!?

OK, I had to add this to today's entry. This has nothing to do with the house, but it's still funny. That's my friend Ryan will Vanilla Ice. Random encounter.

Alright, the house. We had the floors refinished!




They look great. We move in this week. Things are progressing!
