New Homeowners

Friday night we had access to our new house. We ate Taco Cabana on the back patio and marveled that we were sitting on OUR patio! We also went hunting for things left behind and things that needed to be done over the course of the weekend.

Our seller left a variety of things in the fridge including champagne and some really pretty glasses, some coffee and two coffee mugs with sugar in the cabinet and more, including an ironing board, TV tray, gold brick (random!), a quarter, plungers (ew), saran wrap and other handy kitchen items, a picture in the master bedroom (we later found a nice big hole behind that picture thank-you-very-much), a fan, a beware of dog sign (ready for our Doberman ;) ) and a trash can already taken to the curb (score!).

We assessed the interior damage done by the foundation work and thankfully no cracked floor tiles were found to be hidden under rugs. The only cracks we found were inside cabinets and everything else was pretty clean and move in ready! We met our neighbors over the course of Saturday and Sunday and there are two very cute kids next door that said "Didn't I meet you the other day?" - about 6 hours after meeting us - as well as a guy Lance that ride bikes (that should be easy to remember huh?).

We got some painting and other projects started as well, but that is for a later blog... Happy Monday!
