Well we’ve been living in our house for most of the month but we’re still getting officially moved in. We have heat and hot water now… the first week or so was pretty chilly before that got hooked up… and we should have living room furniture by the end of tomorrow. We’ve painted both the bedrooms, the kitchen, the living room and the prayer room. I finally moved the last box out of other people’s basements last night and, for the first time in 6 months, have everything I own in one place (I guess two if you count the church office).
I really do love our house. It’s coming together really nicely. At first I hated the kitchen but I’m learning to love it more and more… in fact, I think it might become my favourite room in our house. I haven’t fallen down the stairs yet which is pretty surprising since they are crazy steep and they wind at the top. We’re slowly getting things into their proper places which feels good.
Other than that, not much is new. Life’s been busy as usual. Danielle and I went to North Carolina last weekend to visit friends. That is one beautiful state… and our drive through Virginia was amazing. We had a great thanksgiving weekend… complete with turkey dinner which I was sure we would have to sacrifice. It was good to be away and to re-connect with some friends.
Next weekend is my dad’s 60th birthday. I’m going to Sarnia on Saturday morning to spend the weekend with my family to celebrate the wonderfulness of my dad. I’m looking forward to that. Speaking of family things… apparently my entire (and I mean entire) family is going to Florida for 10 days over March Break… grandma, aunts, uncles, cousins, mom, dad, sister… we’re flying out on the friday and we come back the monday of the following week… I’m pretty excited about that.
I promise a better update once we get internet at home. We’ve been holding off on that in hopes of finding the best deal… with luck it should be set up by beginning of November. I’ll try and get pictures of the house for then too.
