New House, New Morning
As I write this I’m sitting on the couch in a mostly empty family with a coffee I had to go out and get because the kitchen is still 99% in boxes. I’m still surprised that the WiFi signal reaches out here from the office. The previous owner had wired this room so I thought I’d have to go that way but I guess not.
The biggest change about this house is how QUIET it is. Last night we laid in bed and listened to the peepers go on and on. Felt like we were camping. Then when the big thunderstorm rolled through it was a new kind of cool. Roxie is trying to adjust but had a long night last night. Every new sound and smell she needs to check out.
Both parents are coming down today and the kids come home. That is when the fun is really going to start. The fridge also should be coming today. We lucked out on that one since last weekend was the no tax weekend in the state so inventory is low. We lucked out big time. Otherwise we’d be without a fridge for at least a week.

Congrats on your house, found about this post cause you’re on my twitter.
When you mention the quietness, It makes me think of owning a house myself, wish I had a place in my apartment (1br) where I could go away from all the noise there is and just concentrate on my work.
Wish you a happy life on your new house.

Happy new home! Wondering what a virtual neighbor would bring over for greetings.
Good wishes. Namely, that each day and year you will understand more why this particular house was meant to be your home. (And may the needed-repair surprises be few and far between, and cheap!) I love the peepers going on and on. Welcome home!

That’s an interesting Freudian slip, CC: “As I write this I’m sitting on the couch in a mostly empty family….”
I’m sure you meant “a mostly empty family ROOM.”
Anyway, I wish you the best of luck with the new place!

I am an Aussie and I have no idea what “peepers” are.
All the best CC from the Global Geeks! Oh I know exactly what you are going through - we were there about 6 weeks ago
