Long time no post

The month since my last post has been incredibly busy & supremely wonderful. It's just so great to live in town. There isn't one thing I miss about St. Johns.
In the past month we've packed, weeded out tons of stuff while we packed, moved (with the help of 13 wonderful people & an enormous truck), unpacked, weeded out tons more while we unpacked, had an all-day yard work party with my mom & sister, organized, had two overnight guests already, went to Grand Haven for my niece Hadley's high school graduation, had my 93 year old grandpa here to visit TWICE (YAY), had a few small backyard parties, flew to Minnesota to visit my brother & his family, celebrated our two year anniversary, enjoyed friends stopping by while we work (a welcome reminder to stop working & drink a beer), done what feels like a gazillion small indoor & outdoor home improvement type projects, made 9 or 10 trips to Lowe's, Home Depot, and Menards, and I was even able to have a girl's night with my Lansing girl's group!
Jeremy & I have learned (after nine years) that we can be pretty damned good at doing projects together. Now that it's OUR house, the work just seems so much more worthwhile. We've been pleasantly surprised at how well we're getting along as we put together storage racks, hang blinds, etc.
Soooooo all in all, home ownership is starting out well. There's a ton more to do, but I'm trying to tell my obsessive compulsive self to slow down, we have plenty of time. ;)
