We are here in the new house, and there is much rejoicing! Somehow right when we got here and had a million things to do, life felt even more stressful than moving, but I contribute most of this to my lack of internet-problem coping strategies. Comcast and I are on the mend now.
West Jordan is pretty great. Our area has lots of wide open spaces (as does our home) and I don't feel like I live in Salt Lake County. There's an online grocery shopping option within minutes of my house. I have a giant garden and pretty yard that we plan to rip up and make better. I have a kitchen sink that's the size of a small bathtub. We have space to invite large crowds of people over. I can hide inside my pantry if I want. There are more windows than I can manage to open and close at the appropriate times. Life's pretty good here.
We're trying to seize the day and do all the things we think up doing right away. It seems that if you don't get stuff done within a few weeks of moving, the only other option is to wait 4 years or just never do it. There's no in-between. So we're caulking things and touching up paint. In a moment of weakness at the store, I bought an entire garden area of seeds and plants and flowers. We also have a very long list of other things to do and buy, so although the move is over, I guess we won't return to our normal routine for a while. Scott and I are just keeping love alive here, touching up grout in the evenings.
Anyway, what a grand new adventure for us! I'm excited.
I should also note than we no longer own what I've been calling the "North Salt Lake Vacation Home." As great as it is to own two homes at once in this unstable economy...I'm grateful that we are done dabbling in real estate transactions for quite some time. We do already miss our friends and neighbors though. I know going to church in a new ward is all "Yay the gospel's the same everywhere", but...I don't know these people yet, so it's weird. Haha. Hopefully we make friends soon and I start a new book club with the long lost twins of my old book club. Small demands.
