Total and Utter Chaos!

It has been a totally chaotic month!  Our move to the dream house went smoothly.  Only a few new scratches on furniture and nothing broken, I call that a success!

Hopefully, we are in the home stretch of completing the interior work on our new home.  We had a few setbacks, cabinets in the kitchen and my bath needed some tweaking, had an unexpected leak in the ceiling, A LOT of touch up painting to be done – but we are in the house and loving it.  Albeit, we are still sharing it with our contractor extraordinaire, Rick.   One day as I was getting ready for work I had to ask one of the painters to move so I could get my clothes out of the closet!  Hello Roomie . . . .

The first week in the house was quite interesting as we had no running water on the first floor and no bathrooms with a shower were yet operable.  We had to go to the old house to shower and ate more than our share of takeout food!  It was an interesting week to say the least.  After the first night in the dream home, we got an offer on our old house and it is SOLD!  It was difficult to say goodbye but it is such a relief not to have to go over there to check on things and to water plants when I would much rather be getting settled in the Westover home.

All new light fixtures are up, all bathrooms are now operable and the kitchen is 85% complete.  There are still many boxes to unpack but we are getting closer every week to being totally settled.

Now if I could just figure out which box the silverware is in . . . . .
