Well here we are, August 20. We've been in our new house for 5 weeks. This makes us permanent residents of San Diego!
Now that we are residents, we are rolling out the welcome mat a lot. In the five weeks we've been here, we've hosted more friends and family than we have the last 5 years on Chicago. And a 9-year-old sleepover thrown in for good measure!
We are 90% unpacked... guess we lost steam on that last 10%. It's exciting projects like sorting through the master closet and making sense of all the toy rabble. However, half out of pride and half necessity, our guest room looks fantastic. It has a matching bedspread and curtains and fancy little shampoos and things. It has a collapsible suitcase stand, like you see in hotels. I suppose I really need to put a guest book in there.
We do have some vacancies coming up, so let us know when you're coming! Just cut and paste the following into an email to us, or print it out and mail it:
