Got the keys to the house...

Okay, we have the keys to the house and are SLOWLY moving, I mean S L O W L Y. Mark doesn't want real movers until the weekend after Thanksgiving, so as of yet, we take stuff over after work, leave stuff for me to unpack the next day. All I can really lift is books and clothes, so that's it mostly. And I can't take anything that must either go in a big box, or have a home once it gets there like DVDs - they'd need the appropriate furniture to house them at the very end. However, they left us a BUNCH of bookcases, so I get to put the books in them.

The top two shelves of all of the glass-doored cases are glass and have an overhead spotlight for brick-a-brack.  I think my precious rock collection is going to retire from the glass coffee table, where they can be sniffed by dogs and touched by crawling toddlers, to the lighted shelves. It's great timing.  Some of the rocks are toxic, since they are natural and not polished or sealed.


I'm too tired to talk, so here are some sneak peeks at the new house:

Patio with cute overhead beams w/climbing vines and white xmas lights.

Oversized cactuses on the side wall of the outside office.

View of the yard from the patio.

Door to my office - she left lots of western themed decorations, kokopellis and suns and moons.
