We live here now!

I tried to put this up last night, but our stolen Wi-Fi isn't too stable, and it gave out before I could actually post these last night. We will be getting our very own internet (and cable!) connection this Thursday. More pictures to come as the house takes shape.

Yesterday was a crazy, long day. We hired movers to get most of our stuff out of The Mill - the spiral staircase made this an impossible proposition for just us. But we couldn't get everything in the truck in one trip and the movers' time was up, so we had to go back for a second trip ourselves. What would have taken the movers about five minutes to pack up took us nearly two hours. If you are ever moving, do yourself a favor and hire some professionals. Sure, the $200 - $300 price tag might look unappealing a week ahead of time, but by the middle of Moving Day, it sounds like a bargain.

We painted some rooms over the weekend, and those who have seen our previous homes will surely recognize the colors: turquoise bedroom, green living room, yellow dining room. It feels really great to be living in the midst of those colors again.
