One Week Later

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.
