Moved in and unpacking

We have officially moved in. It's been almost a week. So far, we have the bedroom 99% complete. The movers could not get Marcos' armoir up the stairs without breaking something, so we need to get him a dresser. The office is also 99% complete. We are just waiting for Marcos' desk to arrive so that he can set up his corner.

The kitchen is 99.5% complete. There is still a box we haven't found that has cereal and whatever was on the dish rack. Our appliances will be delivered on Friday. We ended up having to pay for the installation because the previous owners painted over the gas switch. Yes, they were idiots.

The next project for me is to get to the parlor and the first floor backrooms. We have decided to wait until we get the floors done in the parlor before unpacking the books. We will also need to figure out what to do with our bar materials. We know how important that is for Ray.

It's been a very emotional time. In putting together our office, I decided that now is the time to get rid of old files that I really don't need anymore. There are probably 40 pounds worth of papers that I decided to chuck. It was emotional if only because it makes me think about how far we've come in such a short period of time. Fifteen years ago, I don't think I was even thinking about getting a PhD, much less buying a house - in Boston of all places. And who knows what we'll be doing 15 years from now.

We are spending Thanksgiving with our good friends Dawn and Jon. Thank goodness for good friends. I couldn't imagine spending another entire day unpacking and setting up. We really needed the day off. We will be picking up the rest of the stuff we left at the old apartment and giving it one more vacuum. Tomorrow morning we will be handing off the keys.

I have no pictures to share right now, but they will be coming soon. Have a good Thanksgiving.
