Everything's happening so quickly now!
On Tuesday, my honey and I signed what felt like a thousand sheets of paper.
On Wednesday, we wired a huge sum of money out of the bank.
On Thursday, we got a call from our realtor saying "Congrats."
On Friday, we went to our new house and got the keys. And we moved the first truckload of boxes.
On Saturday, we got the keys to our post office box. And we moved the second truckload of boxes. And we started gardening. My honey wants a lawn, and our dog wants a lawn. And the previous owners had gravel where there could be a lawn. Yes, gravel is more eco-friendly and lower maintenance. But if we install a grey water recycling system, I figure that will provide us with enough water for the lawn. Even though we don't have the grey water system yet, we figure we should start the lawn as soon as we can, since our growing season could potentially be cut short by snow, and we want to give the grass as good a chance as possible at survival.
On Sunday, I had to work. Which I really didn't want to do. What I really want to do at this point is to finish moving all of the boxes and the furniture and the dog and the cat and move in to our new home. And spend all of my energy making it ours and making it a home. Which will have to wait until the end of the week, when I have another day off from work and we can make another trip to our new house, with more boxes, and maybe some furniture, and do more gardening so we can have our lawn and, ultimately, our home.
