Gold on the ceiling...

Moving truck is here!

Well, as crazy and frantic as it was to coordinate the house closing, the move-in date, the moving truck, plus the work to be done on the house and of course, getting Internet and TV access, we did it! (Thanks Joe for dealing with 99% of it all) We're back online and getting settled into our new home.

Last Friday, the giant truck we had all been waiting for came and dropped off our 10,000 lbs of home goods. The good news is, almost nothing was broken, just a few furniture scratches. Since then we've been working like machines to turn this place around into feeling like home.

There was a lot of blue (carpet), gold (fixtures) and black (appliances) so we're taking those one-by-one to update & replace. I can't resist showing you just one of the many black and gold features in the house:


Now we're starting to explore the neighborhood and the town, especially the park across the street from us that is the perfect place to watch the
sun set. 

Top of the park hill; ours is the blue house.
