Landing

We fit.

Last week, as we unpacked moving boxes in our new digs, I was amazed at how easily the process unfolded.

Our furniture arranged nicely inside the rooms. Our colors matched. Outside, Ron found the perfect loop to walk the dog. We even used the exact same nails as the previous owners when we hung our pictures.

We go with the place.

That’s not to say we haven’t had our hiccups. The plumber was out six days after we moved in (I hosted Thanksgiving for the first time ever – how was I supposed to know I shouldn’t shove every last vegetable scrap down the garbage disposal?) Last night our neighbor was smoked out (the damper on her fireplace closed). And we don’t have Internet set up (which means I’m trekking to every coffee shop and sandwich joint in town trying to keep up with my writing assignments).

But overall, the move went smoothly.

It feels great to be here.

Hope you all had a nice holiday. You can read about my experience as host over at Wasa later this week.
