After 2+ years, I'm feeling the urge to fire up the old blogging muscles once more. "Life at 787" is a thing of the past: We sold the house just a few months after my last post. After an interim period in a rental condo (with a palindrome unit number), we are once more homeowners in a condo with a palindrome building number. What can I say? It's a thing with us.
Knowing our lease would be up at the end of March, we started house-hunting back in November, thinking the process would be slow due to the season. Much to our surprise, we found a place that checked (almost) all the boxes very quickly and made an offer. The sellers were in a rush and so we closed quickly, too! Because of the quick close, we were able to take our time with the move. We made a few improvements (new paint and carpet) and officially moved in three weeks ago.
Unpacking is... a process. We've reached the stage where we just don't know what to do with the remaining boxes. Where do people store board games, anyhow? And why are the boxes so darned big? I conquered the spices last night, so there is hope.
Since we'll be here for a while, we are having fun putting together the spaces the way we want to. The second bedroom has been a particular challenge. It's not huge (9 x 12) and we want get more use out of it than just as a guest room. We have hit upon the solution of installing a murphy bed for guests, which leaves enough room (when folded away) for a cozy reading chair and folding treadmill. Since the murphy bed just arrived in pieces and the treadmill and chair are still only wishlist items, I will have to keep you posted on how this all works out!
