Yesterday, we spent our first full day in the house. Towards the end of the day we got an e-mail letting us know that the closing had completed and the property is now officially ours. (Well, except for that little minor detail called the mortgage, where the lender has a stake in it as well...) We also received a small boquet of flowers from the broker congratulating us.
While Elise was getting her sleep, I moved the contents of the refridgerator and freezer, some other food items, and a few other things. Our kitchen, at least, is in a fairly usable state now. We really do need to replace the dishwasher, add a garbage disposal, and replace the faucet/sprayer unit. I don't know if the latter can be done by itself, or if the whole sink needs to be replaced...
Did you also know that butter remains pretty solid at 60-65F? We have a butter bell which is supposed to keep the butter at room temperature and soft. It does the room temperature bit quite well, in fact we have the butter just sitting out in the open now, but soft, it is not.
I guess I didn't get enough sleep the night before, because yesterday afternoon, I was nodding off while doing some work on tomorrow's sermon. I got into bed and took a nap for a couple of hours.
I slept much better last night with half of the blinds drawn down. The back of the room faces quite a few trees so it doesn't get too bright, but the front side, open to the view is where all the light pours in.
Shelley seems to be enjoying working. She doesn't say much about it, even when I ask... (Typical of teens...?)
There's more moving to be done. We need to get more of our clothing moved in.
