We love having our own house!

So it's been five days since we closed on the house and even though we have next to no furniture, have a to-do list a mile long, and have been busy every minute of every day since we've moved back to Boston, we're still SO HAPPY with the house! It was obviously the right decision for us since we've had absolutely zero regrets so far. That might change once the credit card bills start rolling in though :P

I gotta say that furniture shopping really sucks. We've only been doing it for a few days and we're alreaady tired of it. Everyone says it's supposed to be fun, but I'm not enjoying it so far. Maybe that's because we're so desperate just to have something to sit on that it's hard to be patient to find the right couch/kitchen table/dining table/etc. Did I mention that we really have almost no furniture? Check it out:



Yesterday we bought two desks at IKEA though so W. can start working again. I get a desk too this time unlike our old apartment so now it's really "our" study. We've vowed to keep the clutter to a minimum, but only time will tell how that works out. The two folding chairs we borrowed from my family are too short for the desks though, so here was W's solution:

Yes, that's a phone book he's sitting on.


Other than that, the only other furniture we have is more stuff we borrowed from my parents. We have my old bed that we're tossing as soon as our new Tempur-Pedic bed shows up, and there's a folding table and two more chairs. At least we have something to sleep and eat on!
