One Month Later

It’s been a long time since we’ve updated our blog. Frankly, we’ve been pretty bad about it this year. Suffice it to say, we moved in the latter half of April and didn’t have Internet access at home until this morning.

The move process went well. Since we were only moving one mile away, Di and I shuttled fragile items like our kitchenware over to the house before the EQ men showed up. It took us about 100 minutes to load up the truck and just 45 minutes to unload. That was the easy part.

It has since taken us days (more like 2 weeks) to unpack all of our boxes. Once everything is unpacked, organized, and decorated (waiting on plantation shutters), we’ll post some pics of the new place. Anyway, I’m just writing to let you guys know that we’re alive and well, enjoying a fabulous new home.

A Week in Review

It’s been a somewhat eventful week. Rather than spending our time on HAR, we now have been looking at washers, dryers, shutters, blinds, etc. I made a brief plea on Facebook regarding appliances and got some helpful tips.

After about a week of looking, we went ahead and purchased a front loading washer and dryer. We tried using Consumer Reports to help us make an educated decision. It was a little challenging because many machines had both terrific reviews and awful ones. I guess no one machine can please everybody. 🙂

Yesterday morning, we had a design consultant from 3-Day Blinds come to our new home and help us pick out some shutters and blinds. It was a little difficult to visualize how they would look, but I’m hoping they look good!

We also had a small “General Conference” BBQ yesterday in between the two sessions. We were hoping for warm, 80-degree weather, but the clouds kinda put an end to that. It was warm, but not warm enough to relax in our freezing cold pool. We still managed to have a good time relaxing poolside and grilling steaks.
