We’re finally in. After two years of waiting, we’re finally in our brand new home. Harp and I … well, more Harp than I, have been looking forward to this day for a long time, but before I go on, I have to thank all the help we got from many of our family and friends. You know who you are and our door will always be open to you.
It’s been a harrowing week and a half. We’re into day 10 (11?) of living in our new home and we’re finally starting to settle in. The den, my office, finally got finished over the weekend. Complete with IKEA furnishings. Cheap, but good looking. Only thing I have to think about now is how to properly hide wires. Solutions are welcome.
The kitchen is nearing completion … we opted for a custom job, so it had to be installed AFTER getting the keys to the house. We’re waiting on our gas cook-top and built-in microwave that will top off the already installed built-in oven. And of course the counter top is yet to arrive.
The fridge and freezer are massive. You’ll see, pictures to follow soon. The installation of the trim kit around the fridge and freezer was more work than originally thought. There is a ton or minor adjustments to be made to make sure the units, top and sides of the kit are all level. But we got her done.
I don’t think we’ll attain that any level of normalcy for another two weeks yet. There are still several boxes to sift through. Books and DVDs have to be sorted (to my liking), pictures have to be hung up, the kids rooms need to be finished off so they look more like kids rooms.
I’ll walk around the house tomorrow and take pictures … and have them up right after.

Kingdom Of Heaven: The story of Balian’s quest for redemption and his battles against those who seek power in it’s name. This is an excellent movie whose message is perhaps more important today than it was then.
Dawkins tackles it all in his no holds barred approach to whether God exists. The stance? The probability of it? Very unlikely.
"Hopes and Fears” and “Under The Iron Sea” by Keane get constant play from my iTunes. Find out why their music is so good. After all they were the band that inspired Coldplay.
As Marcus Fenix, you fight a war against the immense Locust Horde, which not only out powers but outnumbers you, your squad, and the entire force of the Coalition of Ordered Governments. Time to pull out the stops in a game that delivers the next-generation in tactical combat systems in Gears of War.
