One Week Down

The before picture. Stay tuned for a guided tour of the after pictures.

We moved into our new house one week ago (thanks go out to all the slave labor that helped us move!), and after one week I have a few observations:

1. Light switches are never where you think they should be.
2. The things that you need are never in the box that you think that they should be in.
3. In fact, I'm still not sure if the things that I need even made it into a box.
4. Packing is much easier than unpacking.
5. Putting things together (beds, blinds, tv's) is also easier than unpacking, but has the added benefit of making it appear to your wife that you are indeed trying to be a productive member of society.
6. Old crap in a new house looks exactly like old crap in a new house. Problem is the money is long gone and it will very likely be a long time before paycheck - house payment = anything more than zero.
7. That's enough for now.

The strangest part about the whole thing is that I really mis my old house. We lived there for seven years. It was kinda starting to feel like one of the family.
