We are officially living in our new house!
Our first night sleeping there was Saturday night.
Our first night sleeping there was Saturday night.
The first night there our court had a block party!We got to meet all our new neighbors, our court has 10 families on it and it ranges from older/retired couples to young families. There are 8 kids under the age of 5 (including my girls).
And, there are a handful of elementary & middle school aged kids.
Everyone is so nice & everyone looks out for each other. We felt very welcomed.
We still have A LOT of unpacking to do.I am a bit overwhelmed with all of the boxes & stuff that is all over my house. It is really hard to unpack with 2 little girls running around! I am going to take a day off work this week to get things in our house organized because right now it is pure chaos!
The first night we slept there, we were about to put Kate to bed & she said,"Wait! We have to take a picture on our new porch"
At our old house, I would take pictures on the porch for special occasions....Halloween, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc.
It made me smile that Kate thought of this as a special occasion & reminded me that we needed a picture on the porch documenting the first night in our new place (Claire was already in bed)
Kate is so excited about our new house & so are we.
Of course, moving into a new house means new discoveries about that house.
We have "discovered" a lot about this house in the last 2 days.
- Our pool has a leak (which we knew before we bought it)
- The laundry room water line has a leak
- The girls bathroom shower has a MAJOR leak that goes through the ceiling
- The ice maker leaks every time you open the freezer door
- None of the power outlets in Kate's room work
- Our phone line is out, so we don't have phone or internet until tomorrow (I am mooching internet from our neighbors at the moment)
- Our cell phones drop calls in our house
So needless to say, we are THANKFUL we bought the home warranty! I have a feeling we are going to get a lot of use out of it! The plumber is coming out tomorrow & the electrician is coming later this week.
Despite the little issues we have discovered about the house, there are a ton of great things about the house & we are so thankful to be living here!
I can't wait to show you all the new house...I will be posting Before & After pictures once we get settled and finish our house projects!

I love those french doors.
ReplyDeleteAnd I loved that Kate asked to take a picture on the porch!!
unpacking is no fun! Your leak problems remind me of the movie Money Pit. Thank goodness for that warranty!
ReplyDeletewhat a fun neighborhood and great front porch. can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've seen so far, the new house looks fantastic! (Well, except for the leaks and such, which I'm sure they'll be able to take care of for you relatively quickly - fingers crossed!)
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! I wish I lived closer, I would totally come help you unpack. I love doing that. I know, I'm weird.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet that Kate thought of the porch picture. :)
I'm so happy for you guys!
