Sunrise Drive

(not our neighborhood, but the only google pic i could find with sunrise...)

After a LONG day of moving, we are finally in our house. Not quite settled, but everything is here. Kimberly and I are still in the middle of our kitchen cabinet transformation, so my kitchen is full of boxes, paint, brushes, and plastic. Hopfully after unpacking this weekend i will find my cable to upload pics. Jordan and I are adapting great (despite way to many trips to wal-mart already), but our cats are having a more difficult time. Spence doesnt want to venture our from under our bed, and Ellie ventures but already wants to tackle the outdoors. Dealing with an old house has its interesting quirks like our dryer cable is "too new" for the house, so we had to buy a "pigtail" plug and rewire the newer dryer to work with an older outlet. After an hour of us fixing this, we now have a burning smell coming from the dryer...fantastic.

We also had great intentions of hanging our tv above the brick mantle, and went so far as to have our cable wired assuming that would work. Another no go. So, after much deliberation, furniture rearranging, and another call into charter, that might get fixed next week. Lastly, the previous owners of this house must have added the full bath downstairs in the finished basement after they put their furniture in because the walls are situated so that only one half of our sectional will fit through the entrance (with the doors off). So, we have half of a great sectional sitting in our basement and a really messed up wall as a result of forcing the other half into the room. Next idea: try to open the room's painted shut windows that, in 23 years, have never been opened, OR its back to craig's list for a sofa.

Speaking of, for all you sceptics and craig's list haters out there, the fridge looks fantastic and is running just fine. We went to mazers this morning and got a great deal on a stainless steel microwave to match. I really cant wait to post before and after pics of this kitchen. It is unreal! Ok, off to find my cable to upload pics. Happy Halloween!
