We have started entertaining in the new house and that seems to be what makes it actually feel like a home. This is not to say that we are solidly in a new groove yet, but we're working on it. We realized this past weekend that it has been exactly one month since our celebration and ceremony, sheesh, Life has just been flying along! This morning, as I am sitting at the dining room table looking out over the back yard, I have been thinking of the things I love about the new house so far:
- Attached garage off the kitchen--3 steps down to our washer and dryer (almost-vintage, but ours and so far reliable) and then 12 steps out the back door to the clothes line.
- A huge bath tub with plenty of room to roll around
- Friendly neighbors and a good diversity mix
- A kitchen large enough to waltz in
- Warm-toned wood floors
- The 8-minute walk to work (for me)
- We can see the full moon from our bedroom windows
- The sound of clucking chickens in the morning from next door
- How easy it is for friends and family to find us
- The joy of sitting on the front porch and watching the world walk, ride and wander by
