First Week's Random Ramblings!

This marks the first full week of home ownership for the Zellners. With the help of friends, we have packed, moved, unpacked, purchased some necessities... and some pieces we wanted, and have made our house a home. Now there are so many things that have yet to be done. I would have thought we would be further along with our unpacking; however, today we did make quite a bit of headway. We have been given the gift of a washer as well as a gift of a grill. We are so incredibly thankful for such amazing gifts and cannot wait to put both fully to use. From all the amazing words of encouragement and support we received, we are just constantly humbled by this experience as it is an adventure we've been patiently or impatiently waiting on for some time. Now we know that we will have our ups and downs with this next step as we've already experienced a jungle, a small ant infestation, some wasp nests that will need to be removed, but all in all things are going great. Anyway, here are a few random ramblings that have come to mind over this process.

1. It is amazing how many bathroom choices we now have.
2. This is the first time that we have had double sinks and we do not have to share.
3. Wood floors are beautiful but will take A LOT of work to keep them clean.
4. We now have a LOT more space to clean as compared to our 650 square foot apartment.
5. We can pick up our own mail in our front yard as compared to walking to the other side of the complex.
6. I love having a backyard.
7. We rarely use our front door.
8. We had previously found out that we were able to wash the couch cushion covers and so we did. They look great!
9. We bought patio furniture yesterday and cannot wait for it to be set up on Wednesday.
10. It was really exciting to do mundane things like put out the trashcans, send your first letter, and/or hear your door bell ring.

More ramblings are sure to follow. Stay tuned.
