Tomorrow will be a week from our official move-in date. At this time (6:58 PM) last Friday, Jeff and I were on the road somewhere in New Jersey.
Last Friday was a long day even though the movers were great. I ended up leaving some things in Norwalk. I wasn't happy about that, but I couldn't have gotten out of the house in time to meet the movers at 8 AM the next morning. It was 2 when Jeff and I hit the road. We hit a lot of traffic, went through an area without hotel availability, and snagged the last room at a place in Bel Air, Maryland around 8 PM.
Since Saturday morning, it's been unpacking. And unpacking. And still more unpacking. I have the same challenge one of my neighbor described: we have so much room in our new kitchens compared to our old places. It's hard to decide where to put things (first world problems.) Having little furniture is also a challenge. Some of our clothes are hanging in the closet; some are stuffed in boxes.
Everything is taking longer than I imagined.
Now, for the positive.
We had our new bed delivered Wednesday.
Today, we bought a kitchen set (table and four chairs) to be delivered in almost three weeks.
Our neighbors have been welcoming and helpful. .
Jace and I are enjoying the trails here.
I keep repeating, "I can't believe I live here." It's beautiful.
