Our New Home

We've been in our new home for almost a week now and I've been so busy unpacking, plus the internet didn't get hooked up until yesterday, that I haven't hardly put thought into updating this blog.  I'm sure you are all dying for photos and stories, but that will have to wait a little bit longer because there are still boxes everywhere.  Every time I think I'm done with a room (my closet for example) I discover 5 more boxes (I didn't realize I had so many freaking clothes!!!!!)  Being 37 weeks pregnant is not conducive to settling into a big new house.  I can get a few good hours of unpacking in each day before I wear out, need to prop my feet up, and/or take a nap. 

We've investigated the two major issues we had concerns about: 1) the pool chemicals and 2) the water damage from the master bathroom, visible from the living room.  The pool is safe to swim in (still no safety gate so watch your children!).  Matt has gone in a few times with Savannah and they are both LOVING it.  It's not heated so I haven't had much interest, and Savvy only last about 5 minutes.  Matt thinks it's perfect.

Matt cut a hole in the living room ceiling and thankfully found that the damage was extremely minimal and hired a friend to fix it.  No big deal and now we can use our master bath!

For the most part everything seems to be in great working condition.  The appliances in the kitchen, although old and ugly, are REALLY good quality and work wonderfully.  That's good news because we have no money to fix anything, but bad news because we want everything to be pretty and new and stainless.  I've cooked a few dinners on the range and made cookies in the ovens so I guess we'll stick with what we've got for a while.

OK, I have no pictures and this is all really boring stuff.  Let me get back to unpacking....maybe even get an entire room done, and then post a pic or two :)
