First of all, I just wanted to mention that it’s snowing here today! Pace called it last night because it was a nice warm day, with warm nighttime breezes, which sometimes precede a snowy day. Yay Pace! (Utilities bills, here we come!)
Yes, we are close to being all moved in! And we love this new place. True, it is 12 years old, but it’s new to us and it’s a mansion compared to our 1-bedroom apt. we just left behind. We have to go clean that place before the 31st to get part of our deposit back, and it seems like such a chore just to set foot in that place of the past! But I am so grateful to TMom and TDad who got us a gorgeous, brand new washer and dryer, with pedestals and everything. And the best part is that they’re INSIDE our house! No more leaving Chase behind to lug the baskets to the apartment complex across the street to “illegally” pay to do our laundry there! They also got us a Roomba, so we’re trying that out and so far I think it’s amazing. And to top it all off, Pace is loving his “man room” downstairs with the hugest TV ever and the new leather sectional couch! So our neighborhood is quiet and charming, our ward is loving and friendly, and the chapel is only a few blocks away, as well as two parks for Chase! No, we aren’t bragging, just counting our many blessings and feeling very grateful!!!
