Starting Slow

October2

We headed over to the house today with both cars packed with some boxes.  The first thing I focused on was getting the decorative corners off the front screen door.  It was difficult enough (painted over and stripped screws) that I didn’t mess around with other 3 screen doors today.  But I was happy to get them off the front door at least.

Just wasn’t my style.

We let the girls check out their new playground.  They love it and I have to admit it is pretty cool.

We started putting together the loot from our Ikea trip.

I’ve mentioned that I’ve been painting now and then with one of my girlfriends.  I painted these pears for our new kitchen so I brought them with us today.

October1

It was a really long day (what should have been an hour turned into 5 hours) but the house is officially ours.  Time to start making it home.

Closing?

October1

Today is supposed to be the day.  They moved our closing up from Monday to this afternoon.  But we are waiting on some mysterious packet to get the mysterious group of people who must be present to sacrifice a small goat and dance in the rain at the closing…and it hasn’t arrived yet.  So we wait.  Since we aren’t moving immediately, the couple of days difference doesn’t really matter one way or the other.  We would just like to have it done and have keys in hand.  We crave roots and those keys are the first step.
