House or Home?

Well, it's been a little over a week now. We officially moved in last Saturday. In fact It's been a week and a day sense we spent or first night here. Things are coming a long nicely I think. Someone bought the escort yesterday. Didn't get as much as I wanted for it, but we still got some money.

We went out and bought some stuff for the house. First we went to Bed, Bath & Beyond. There we bought a filter for our sink, one of those brita things that screw on. It pulls most of the stuff out of the water. Jen can drink the tap water now, which makes it worth the price we paid for it. It'll hopefully save us money in the long run, less bottled water to buy. We also picked up more silverware, and a counter top organizer for our cooking utensils. It came complete with a set so now we can get rid of the stuff in the drawers. That will free up at least two drawers of space. We also got new salt and pepper shakers, they are Tiki Heads!

After BB&B we headed over to Meijers for some other stuff. We picked up a small pitcher we can fill with water and refrigerate. We also got new seat cushions for the kitchen chairs, and some place mats. Most importantly, at least for me, we got dry wall anchors so I can hang the shelves. This allowed us to put away all our DVDS, clearing more floor space. We also got a huge hook to hang Jen's shell chime with. And a frame for Jens' Mash picture.

The living room is still cluttered, though the couch is cleaned off. We've done 3 loads of laundry. It's folded and put away. Went to the store at about 2:00 and got the stuff for potato soup. Mmm.... soupy. Jen is in the process of making the soup, and a cake. So the house smells like potatoes and cinnamon. It's enough to make me drool. Can't wait for the cake to be done.
