Wow what a busy month. School has been great, incredibly busy and time consuming but great. I actually look forward to spending my long days there. LOL!

Let's see the closing went smoothly and we moved in Sunday Aug 27, 2007.

We purchased a fridge. We splurged and got a Kenmore Trio, bottom freezer, with french doors in black. It is really nice and having filtered ice cubes is a huge bonus. LOL!

One of our neighbors (a woman who lives 4 doors down from us and ironically works in my school building once or twice a week) showed up with a lasagna, bread and a tossed salad for us as well as a houseplant. While we were talking her husband even mowed our grass since he heard we did not have a lawn mower yet. Talk about hospitality.

This week Jeff went to work on a project he had picked out which was to refinish the 4 x 4 hardwood entranceway to the house. He put the final coat of polyurethene on today and it looks AMAZING!

We also bought a lawn tractor and it was delivered on sunday Sept 2. Sears really loves us first a fridge, then a tractor, and we even almost bought a grill until we found out it could not be converted to natural gas.

I have finished unpacking our closets and have mostly setup the dining room and the kitchen. The guest bedroom is also a set. We are still unpacking and making minor repairs or changes.

Saturday we replaced a shower head in the hall bathroom and it works a million percent better and Jeff installed a ceiling fan in our bedroom today.

All in all we are slowly settling in. Today we finally picked out a living room set. We got a sofa, loveseat, chair and ottoman. We are still in search of tables and lamps.

Well I need to finish up some lesson plans. More news hopefully next week.
