The move into the new house is complete. All the stuff is now with us under one roof. All we have to do now is put things away, hang pictures, arrange furniture, throw out stuff we should have thrown out before we moved, gets the animals acclimated to the new house, mow the lawn, straighten out the garage, put in a new gas fuel line for the dryer. The list goes on.
But doesn’t moving suck? You carefully put your whole life into boxes and load them up into pickups and backseats and drive them over to somewhere new. Then you open up these boxes, take your life back out and resume living after a few weeks.
Not to mention getting friends to help. You kindly ask for assistance and hope they accept the challenge and then pay them back with food and beer. Thank God for good friends.
But in the end, the payoff is the new house. We love it here. All the hard word, besides the physical aspect, of paying some bills, getting preapproved from the bank, finding a house, getting a final approval from the bank, and then signing papers until your hand falls off is worth it.
My wife and I totally believe we found the perfect house. I thank the heavens we were able to get it because the idea of owning again was looking grim. We plan on staying here forever. Maybe by then, I will have my honey-do list completed.
You’ll never have your honey-do list complete because a “house” will never allow that. There will alway been umpteen different things you need to do just to “maintain,” and nevermind all the upgrades you have in mind.
But despite all the pain, it’s totally worth it.
Enjoy your new place!
Hi, congrats on your new house! The feeling is indescribable especially when you found a house that is somewhat “a real home” a perfect house as you said it.
Enjoy your new nest!
Cheers!
