Friday's move went fairly smoothly, despite the 97 degree weather, and as of today, all the boxes for the main floor and bedrooms are unpacked.
I'm realizing that in all the updates about the Peoria house, the Monticello house has been quite neglected on this blog. Right now it's a lovely 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home that fits us very well. My favorite feature has to be the pond and woods view out the back (picture to come at some point). No more neighbors' neglected gardens and awful wind chimes!
Although we're settling in quite nicely, things are going to be out of place for a while. The basement "man cave" is unfinished, which will be a project for this fall/winter. Until then, all of the nerd stuff (and there's a lot of it!) has taken over the living room and dining room. I'm talking about a giant sectional couch, shelves of cards and Blu rays galore, and pirate Lego ships. Oh well, how spoiled are we that Joshua and I have become accustomed to having our own floors of a house? We will learn to hang out together :0)
So far in our new house, we've had plenty of visitors over to check it out. We're actually only a five minute walk from Joshua's Dad's house. Polly and the kids were over the other day to check it out. Mom and Dad haven't had a chance to make the trip down yet. They've been too busy helping me clean out the house in Peoria. They're the best!
The plan for the next two weeks?
-Leaving for our annual Wisconsin trip this afternoon
-Closing on the house in Peoria the day after we return on the 16th
-Finally feeling settled once all of this house business is finished
