(p.s. that's not us)We did it! With lots of help from my brother-in-law Mike and his good buddy Garrett, and many many back and forth trips, we are all moved out of the ranch and into the farmhouse. I'm actually quite impressed with our moving skills - C and I went from completely living in the ranch to packing, moving, cleaning, and unpacking - in essentially 5 days from start to finish. Of course, I won't go into great detail about the number of boxes in the basement, but what we actually live with is all set up! (Note to self: what IS all that other crap in the boxes in the basement?!)
Anyway - so far so good. It feels very much like 'home' - more so than I thought. We've been enjoying the space, having two bathrooms, early morning coffee with occasional glimpses of deer in the yard, and even the commute hasn't been bad - carpooling rocks. More time with my love in the morning and the evening to catch up on our days, evening if it is while sitting in stop-and-go traffic. We went for a run yesterday after work (thank you Daylight Savings Time!) and found a great, semi-hilly route that should prove challenging. Tonight we are going to take the pups to a nearby dog park and check out the situation there. Purchasing this house is definitely on the table, and GG has been praying for it...we'll see!
One of the things I love the most is how many little anecdotes and stories C has been recalling - it's so cool to be in the space where his memories live.
