The thing about buying a house

Having just bought my first house, I've gone through several adjustment phases. Following the move, the first phase was of course unpacking and setting up house. This took a couple weeks, pausing for trips to furniture stores, home goods, etc. Following the unpacking was the adjustments phase(glasses should go here, because...)

You also develop this list in your head of all the things you need to do. These tasks may never be completed, but in your mind you feel like you're this close and just need to work a little longer. I've found the only way I can deal with this is to set a time limit when tasks will stop for the night.

The best month

We just passed out first month in the new house, and we are so happy. I can't describe the feeling. Its like when you're on vacation and you just walk around and check things out, and see where things are. Its not a big house, but its big to us and we spend our time trying to make things 'just so.'

Our New House

Closing Friday was a breeze!

Thanks to everyone we worked with: Jill, Kara & Rhonda with Long & Foster Bethesda, Travis and Peggy at Wells Fargo.

Jenn and I went in to closing Friday at 10, and we were done by 11. Saturday was Moving day and was busy from start to finish.
