So June 5th we made our move South. We bought a new house that was just built. The pros of this was that 1)It was cheaper than an existing house (go figure) 2) We got to make decisions on things like counter tops and flooring. The cons are 1) We have to keep a list of all the things we notice as 'wrong' in our house 2) We literally have no neighbors yet. Yet.
We have completed houses to the right of us and several across the street, but nobody has moved into them yet. Our closest existing neighbor is two doors down. They are pretty nice. They have a daughter the same age as Sammy and she has been here almost every day since we moved in. I'm not even kidding about this....LOL. Sammy put a note in their mailbox (on my shopping list)to say hello to their daughter Emma. Too cute. We had no idea. We are pros at being parents and keeping track of our kid. LOL
The house is coming together. We have furniture in most every room. We had our couch delivered a couple of weeks ago, but are still waiting on the love seat. That's going to the upstairs family room once it comes.
We are adjusting to the heat here too. Its been over 100 degrees more days than not. Oddly enough it hasn't really bothered us. We have a community pool and central air. But I've been outside, gardening and staining our deck and even though I may have sweated A LOT, I enjoyed the breeze coupled with the warmth. Sam and I are still trying to figure out what everyone down here is complaining about. hehe
Also after our first couple of weeks here, Rachel decided to move down. So now we have a full house. And we are slowly starting to use the word Y'all. First to kind of mock the southerners, but now it just shows up without even thinking about it.
