little bitty girl

We moved in at Halloween to the new house. And for the few who have been keeping track, it's been obvious that I have not been updating you about the new place. The truth is that most work on the place has woefully stopped since we moved in. Both Stefan and I have some impending deadlines in the early part of next year and so the putting together of the home is on hold until then.

The really nice thing about everything is that we're really starting to enjoy our neighbourhood and neighbours. It helps that the new neighbourhood also consists of friends who already are or have recently moved into the area.

Funny things you don't realize about having a house after living in an apartment after all these years are the most basic things like - having a rake and a shovel for snow. We had our first snowfall a month ago and Stefan asked whether we had a shovel. "Hmmm.... of course we do! We only lived on the 5th floor of a loft for almost 7 years." He can be so silly that boy!

We have so much to do to make it ours and of course, I always want instant gratification. It's hard to have caviar taste on a craigslist budget.... so we've decided to take it one room at a time. This weekend, we're finally going to look at some major things like lighting and a new sofa. I hope to share more soon....
