Hi-diddly-ho, Neighborinos!

And neighborinos you might be! See, Juggles and I just bought a house. We closed on Thursday and moved in Friday. It's been an absolutely insane weekend and we are still swimming in boxes, wondering where some of our everyday items, like vitamins and shampoo, might be. But, we're unpacking slowly but surely.

The house is great -- really adorable with a cool layout. I'll take pictures and post them once the mess is a little more controlled. My dad bought us a fantastic new lawnmower, which we have yet to use, and we also now own TWO ladders and a weed whacker. Fantastic!

We aim to meet our neighbors when we have the chance. On either side of us, we have original owners who bought their houses in the '50s when they were built. One side is this woman with an amazing beehive of a gray hairdo. I imagine she's just about the coolest lady ever. On the other side, is an older couple who seem to have a great garden. Of course, about a block away, there's a house with LITERALLY about 50 birdhouses in the yard of all shapes and colors. I am so going trick-or-treating there just to meet whoever lives there.

So, busy weekend... We're settling in slowly, but managed to make it through a tough and sleepless weekend of moving and cleaning. The cats are going insane around the house and we have about a bajillion projects to start upon. Juggles set up our TV last night though, so we can at least order pizza and watch some Dragonball Z.

Ahhh, home sweet home.
