This Old House

Joseph and I have officially moved! We still are not in the new house yet, but all our belongings are being stored there.

As I closed the door to our place one final time, I could not help thinking that I was also closing a chapter of our marriage. This was where Joseph and I spent our first two years of marriage and I thought it would be fun to recall a few fond memories......
  • When we first moved in, we did not have a dryer yet. Since it was October and too cold to hang clothes outside, they were hung and draped all over our apartment instead!
  • We lived with very little water pressure until we finally spoke up and said something to our landlords (which was a year and a half later!). It is really difficult to wash dishes when you only have a small trickle coming out of the faucet.
  • We have had three bat episodes: 1. Found alive in my washer after I had done a load of clothes. 2. Dive bombing us in the living room, scaring the daylights out of our bunny. 3. Flying circles in our bedroom while we were sleeping one night.
  • We were constantly paranoid about our neighbors staring at us all the time when we were outside. Have they never seen a snow blower before?
  • We both have never really felt safe when we lost our back door skeleton key and bought another one for $2 at Home Depot.
  • It took forever to figure out why my baked goods kept burning in the oven. (It was 100 degrees hotter than the dial actually read!)
  • This was the house where no one ever knocked on our door for Halloween. :(
  • and lastly, our house was the official home for Game Nights!
The house will be missed, but I am excited for what lies ahead in our new one!
