Well a great deal can be accomplished in one week, like almost everything unpacked. We are a bit too "anal" about this so we have killed ourselves in the process. I would post a picture of the Ikea office furniture being put together (Effektiv Storage) which took about 2 hours just for a printer stand. It seems like David likes to do this stuff, I would just end up screwing the parts together wrong and doing it in 10 minutes and not read the directions. I guess that is why I am not doing it.
We found brownies on our front porch after moving in (no, they were regular brownies, no additives if you know what I mean). Alana and Alex made those yummy treats! We still have not seen them though. It sounds like between a new puppy and a cut finger due to meat cutting by a vegetarian they have been pretty busy. We have been here one week and met one neighbor up the hill (David met him) and said he was very friendly. Since we live at the "bottom" of the hill , I feel like a serf and the people up the hill are the lords of the land (they have great downtown view), but it is nice to see they will associate with us. :) I think that we expected everyone to stop by the first day but that was it. Of course we don't have anything on our windows so our every move can be scrutinized by everyone. NOT used to living with nothing on the windows here!! That should be changed next week (we hope).
The neighborhood seems great and we love the house. Now we just need sleep.
It was worth the year wait and thanks to Alana for keeping us positive, it was all worth it.

i would love to stop in -- if i show up in my paint covered baggy jeans and an awful paint covered t shirt, don't call 911 -- it's just likely that's what i'll be wearing the next few weeks until that dang metal is all painted again!
congrats on your house -- i have some experience to share regarding window treatments, good and bad, so post something on the forum if you want info.

Stop by anytime! Our house is almost presentable (only one more room to unpack). We keep an eye on your blog so we know about the painting. :) It’s looking pretty good by the way. We are having some window treatments installed tonight they are basic but at least they will offer some privacy.
David alluded to the preferance that all be anally put away before we stopped in...so we waited. Plus we also went outta town for tofurkey day.
mom and pops are here now...so we'll pop in soon but not til the pretty Mercedes leaves our driveway as we'll be entertaining til then...and putting on more weight to have to get off before Christmas somehow. We've been taking full advantage of the pig out holiday, I'll say!
