bye-bye beach......We are home! Finally!! Don't know how many times I've heard, "We were beginning to think Brandon didn't have a wife!" :) We've felt an incredible amount of love and care already. Everyone, and I mean every single person, has been so kind and friendly, asking about any possible way to help out. I'm finally getting in on the yummy dinners that Brandon's been getting spoiled on and I now have a huge stock of food for our non-existent pantry too! The house isn't exactly what I remembered--there's a bit more paneling and wallpaper and slanted floors than I recall--but it's so great for temporary and cheap. It's hard to describe the moving in feel; I'm overwhelmed when I enter certain rooms by all there is left to do, but I'm also very excited about it being something different. Aside from the horrible housing market, it was a good time for us to move on from suburbs Springboro. So I am proud of my ghetto-ish rental and even my day spent at the laundromat yesterday (washer's still broken). As everyone watched Drew stare into the side washer window, amazed over the soap bubbles surrounding our clothes, some lady looked at me and said, "Y'ins never came to the laundry mat before, huh?" :) We haven't done a lot of things...yet.
old kitchen :) (spoiled!)
