Day 448

Hello everyone!

The new house survived our first full day here!  This morning I got up to wait for the water company.  I got some breakfast, studied, and cleaned up a bit.  We had to go two blocks down the street to use a bathroom.  It was bad.  But thankfully they came right after 11 and got our water hooked up.  Yay!

After a quick lunch we went to Starbucks with Tim.  He was doing some work for his internship, I studied for MLC, and Kimmy did some job searching.  We were there for a couple hours, then went to run some errands.

After some successful errands, we returned home and worked on straightening the kitchen.  We have our kitchens and dining room pretty well set, now we're working on the living room and office.

We started to get dinner ready when we discovered that our oven is not working.  So Kimmy worked some magic and made spaghetti in the microwave! She's pretty awesome like that.  Our landlord is coming tomorrow morning to fix the oven.

After dinner we cleaned the kitchen up some more, then started on the office.  I think we should be pretty well done by the end of the week?  We'll see!

We had planned on watching a movie... But Kimmy's TV stole the DVD and won't give it back.  So we just ate ice cream.

It's been pretty exciting to live in a new place that actually feels like it's ours.  I know it's not... But this is so different from the typical feeling of just occupying some dorm or apartment owned by the University or whatever.  I have a feeling of ownership.  And it's strange, but pretty neat.

That's it for now.  We're hoping to give you all a video tour soon, but I'll keep you posted on how that's going.

Good night!
