Chiave

Well there you have it we now have keys to our place and are starting to get things together. After a grueling trek to our new abode (Ill post a picture later to show the only downside-steep driveways and bicycles as your only mode of transportation don't mix) we are no longer vagabonds! Today we got our appliances delivered and hooked up, and our wardrobes delivered. The only hiccup is that the wardrobes are too big to go up the stairs and will have to be disassembled for transport up the curvy narrow stairs and reassembled in the appropriate rooms. My only concern now, is if the rest of the furniture will make it up; if not Kyle and I have devised a plan involving a rope through a second floor window... Ill be sure to document how move-in day goes, especially once we are settled and show our new digs!


We have also come to realize with this four bedroom....yes four I still cant believe it, we do not have near enough furniture to fill it! We spent our time waiting for our deliveries, going room to room and discussing what each will become, possible color schemes, furniture placement, installment of shelves, etc(= me telling the hubs where I want things to go). I see some shopping in my future. We of course will first go for the basic necessities as our budget is not unlimited but I think our first major house purchases are going to be some more rugs! Brr are my feet going to be cold, good thing I have already invested in slippers and with this nice weather we have been having I would hope that spring is here and summer is soon to follow! 


It has been an absolute joy and godsend to be staying at our first 'apartment' (the B&B) and I can't thank Bob and Jenny enough, but I am SO ready to be in our own place with all our belongings especially for Roo since I think he knows something is up. I started packing some bags tonight as we only have one more night here and he followed me like a glued shadow, just to make sure he wasn't going to be left behind again! Poor Roo, you are almost at your HOUSE! Hopefully this brings a new friend for him too as our (only) neighbors have a furry child as well that is just as playful as ours. Thor is slightly bigger being a husky of some sort but I have high hopes for those two!


Well better get to bed, I have a few trips up to the house to make tomorrow and I know I will need some energy to tackle that hill more than once! Hope everyone in MN is staying warm and safe as I see they are getting hit by some snowstorms!


I would also like to wish my adorable nephew CALLAN THOMAS an early HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY! Aunt Maggie and Uncle Kyle (cousin Roo too) miss you so much and cant wait to see you in the fall! WE LOVE YOU!!
