Our New Home

Pictures to come, but we are officially moved in to our new home and have waived goodbye to our apartment. Our house looks like a bomb went off at a clothing and box factory. It's funny, I thought our house would look empty compared to our tiny apartment, but I think we will actually fill it up nicely.

Going through the apartment one last time before I turned in our keys was a little sad. That was the first place we lived as husband and wife. Though it may sound sappy I can remember when me and mom went to the apartment and unpacked as much as possible to try to make it feel homey for the day Matt and I returned from our honeymoon.

But we are now on to bigger and better things. Like the terrifying two words: home ownership. There are so many things I already want to do to this house. And so many things we had to do that were unexpectedly expensive. Like buy blinds and new door knobs.

Who knew door knobs cost so much!?!

Waking up in this home still feels very new, but I love it so much. We finally live in a place where we can't have a conversation while at two completely different ends of the house! We can finally fit all of our dishes, kitchen gadgets and food into the kitchen space! We can use our couch instead of placing it behind the dining room table! We can use all sides of our dining room table without pulling it away from a wall! I can sit on the edge of the bed while unable to touch the nearby wall with my hand! We have a yard! We have room for a garden!

So many things to be excited about and enjoy. Being an adult turns out to be kindof fun, sometimes.
