wow- 5 days have passed?

since we received our keys, dp and i have been packing our car every evening after work, having a quick dinner, and heading to our new home to make repairs. this past weekend we had a few extra helping hands (thank you nadine, daniel, anne, andrew, and the raya family!) what was accomplished? i'll show the before and after photos soon. this week the hard wood floor contractor will be in to sand and refinish our floors that have not seen light since maybe 30 years! last night we left our home early... 3:30 pm, which is early compared to 10 pm every other night! we had to run to the supermarket and then our neighbors had us over for dinner. dp and i have been so focused on home repair that it was nice to be a part of civilization again. once i get the pics compiled, i will post them.
