Moving Day
It's done...we're finally moved. And what a move it was.
We had 9 helpers, which meant that things went very quickly. It only took about an hour and a half to load the truck and about an hour to unload. Everyone enjoyed pizza and beer afterward. The best part was, we had 10 people and 3 kids in our place after, and we didn't feel constricted AT ALL! I can tell that with this new place, we are going to entertain LOTS more people. D and I agree, we didn't invite people over often because we were almost ashamed of the old place. It was so tiny and ugly. How did we possibly fit all that stuff into that tiny apartment??
I'm sure we'll expand to fit the new place, because that's how it always goes. Still, it's so incredible to have empty space in cabinets, closets, rooms. Not every square inch is filled with stuff.
It was weird waking up this morning and showering in the new shower...putting my makeup case on the counter instead of on the toilet...walking to the kitchen and having D not be able to hear me because he is still in the bedroom...not having to look at the washer and dryer while making breakfast...putting dirty dishes in the DISHWASHER!! (I am way too enthused about this, but as good a dishwasher as D is, I'm glad to have a machine to do most of the work.)
D:(after looking for me for a minute) I can't find you in this place!
Me: Isn't that great? It's huge!
D: Maybe we should install an intercom.
Me: (laughing)

Isn't it both great and wierd to be in a new house! I still wake up a little confused as to where I am and we've been in our house for three years! LOL
Dishwashers are SOOOO nice! Yay!
my dishwasher went on strike so now i am the dishwasher. i guess i should have known when i smelled the smoke. my dishwasher was weird to start with - the lights would flash and dim when i would let the thing colse on its own. must have been a short or something.
