Ok, We're Here

We are getting settled in the new house. Internet didn't get hooked up until Tuesday night, just this week. Having no internet connection is worse than running out of chocolate!!! Ok, so it's on now. The kitchen was unpacked in the first couple of days, and I have been working on the living room. There are boxes left, but they are no longer dominating the room. Mostly, there are books left that have not found a home, as we did not bring all of the bookshelves, and we had homeless books at the old house too. There isn't a huge amount of space for bookshelves here without blocking heating vents and/or electrical outlets, despite having a lot more space, including a living room about 4 times the size of the living room in the old house. We can probably live with blocking some outlets, since there are lots of outlets. I like the feel of this house. The last house was just plain too small for our family, especially given our many various hobbies and interests which all need space. The house had a closed-in, cramped, run-down feel. The new house is much more open. It has almost twice the square footage, plus two and a half times the acreage. Of course that comes with more than twice the price tag also. I need to get a job. I have an interview on Monday for a job that would be great experience, although not very many hours. Wish me luck!

Here's a picture of the new house:

And the old house:

Suzie didn't really appreciate being moved. She had to take a lot of baths when we got here.

We were afraid she wouldn't stay, but she does just fine, and recognizes that she lives here. She really likes to go outside and explore, but she always comes back in.

Well, that's enough for now. I have so much that I want to write, but some of it will just have to wait.
