Still Here...and still unpacking

Actually the unpacking is almost complete. Yeah! We finally got up the energy and tackled all of the extra bedrooms today (we haven't had much energy after school and master's work is complete during the week). It had been a busy first few weeks. The first weekend was spent moving all of the things from my parents in, putting the kitchen together, and we underwent a massive cleaning operation.

Last weekend the blinds we ordered finally arrived so my dad helped us hang them. We went shopping for some household necessities, and epoxied the garage floor. It looks really nice, I can't wait to get to park my car on it (it had to dry for a week)!

This week we had an interesting experience when we turned on the furnace for the first time. apparently the people who put it in didn't totally clean it out, so when we turned it on all of the dust got forced through, creating a burning smell (no fire-thank goodness!), and set off all 7 off our smoke detectors. How scary-especially since I was home alone! Thankfully Jacob and Jay got it cleaned out, and we have heat (without the annoying beeping) now!

Today we worked on the bedrooms and bought a water softener. Jacob is planning to install it tomorrow. Hopefully that process goes smoothly. We are learning all sorts of things about being homeowners!

Helloooooo New House!

It's official! We're finally home owners! As of 4:00 today (the third rescheduling of our closing this week) we were signed, sealed, and delivered. As I type this I am sitting in my spacious, beautiful, new bedroom!

After a week (well I guess more like three years) of anticipation, let downs, and what seems like forever, I can't wait to get up in the morning and take a shower in my brand new custom tile shower. My parents helped us move our bed and dresser in tonight, so we still have a lot of work to do, but I can't wait (Yes, you heard right, I can't wait to get to work!)

That being said, I am opening the title of my blog for suggestions. KP from the APT just doesn't fit any more. Thank goodness! Send any suggestions you have my way!

Now that I've bombarded you with exclamation points, I'll close with an invitation. Stop by and see us at 1470 Bontrager Lane!
