Ladders...
Anybody got some? Or some yard tools? Or a heavy duty breathing mask rated for asbestos?
God has blessed us immensely in this house. In spite of the fact that the garage door and the kitchen sink drain BOTH broke the day after we moved in, we feel so blessed. Maybe b/c the cost of repairs for both of those combined was less than $50 bucks, or maybe b/c there are unknown species of flowers starting to break through the dirt, or maybe b/c the trees that line the street have all begun to pop into leaf, or maybe b/c we're down to only 4 boxes left to unpack for the kitchen, or maybe b/c we've made it through every room in the house vacuuming, washing walls, and cleaning windows. Whatever it is, we're feeling more and more at home.

Thoughts on Home Ownership
It's official, we're homeowners! Well, okay, we signed a bunch of papers and now the bank owns a new house anyway :) Planning to move tomorrow, unless it's pouring down rain, which might postpone things a wee bit. We'd love it if you wanted to help. We're hoping to get started around 9 from the apartment on Broadway, and just need help hauling boxes up and down.
Our friend Dave offered some great perspective on this new experience:
"You can't think of it as the bank owning the house and you owning the mortgage... You must think of it as YOU owning the house, and the mortgage owning you." HA!
