Oh look it's been 3 weeks since we posted anything on here. How did that happen? I'm so in awe of people that can consistently update their blog in a witty, informative, and entertaining way. Obviously that's not us. :)
So I'm finally feeling more settled into the house. We finished putting together all of the IKEA bookshelves* and have pretty much unpacked everything as well.** We even have the massive quantity of cardboard produced from the IKEA trip out of the house and innocently placed in our ex-apartment's recycling bin. Glenn and I did a pretty good job of dividing the labor. ...He did it all and I supervised. It requires a lot of work to find the perfect place for everything, you know? :) And much rearranging of things later, I think we've done a pretty good job of making it feel like home and seem more like us than the apartment ever did. We're even eating dinner at the table instead of on the couch in front of the TV...which is a shocker.
Pasha's getting a little better about the house now. Especially since all of the evil cardboard is gone. She is still insanely afraid of the storm drains in the neighborhood but as one friend suggested, maybe she knows something we don't.
We're having an open house in a couple weeks and I'm looking forward to showing the place to friends and family. Several members of both of our family's are coming up to NC, many for the first time since we've moved to NC.
Exciting times!
*We spent 8 hours two weekends ago in IKEA. Yeah, you read that right, 8 HOURS. I'm uncertain whether to be proud of that fact or highly embarrassed. I love IKEA because of all the options and customizability of it all but at the same time I'm somewhat debilitated by it too. Ask Glenn about the time we stood in the linen dept of IKEA for 2 hours. Yeah, and he still married me.
**Except for the craft closet, its a giant mess, full of boxes and anything else we don't know where to put. But that's what the craft closet is supposed to look like right??
P.S Comments are turned on now, finally. In case anyone is interested in leaving any bits of wisdom or thoughts for us. Thank you.
Yippee!!! Ability to finally post comments... you guys were killing me with not being able to say anything back to you on your posts. Like.... CONGRATULATIONS!!!! What a beautiful house you can now call home. I'm so excited for you guys and miss you! Can't wait to see pictures of the inside of the house ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou don't give yourself enough credit - this is definitely a "witty, informative, and entertaining" post! :-)
ReplyDeleteAlso, for those following along at home, our division of labor wasn't nearly as even as Heather suggests - she supervised *and* did a lot of the work, while I just mostly did the grunt work of assembling IKEA. I'd come home from work sometimes and find half a dozen boxes had disappeared while I was gone, their contents all neatly put away and organized. Heather's a hard act to follow!
