Primed and ready to go

Today, we primed the walls downstairs.

Did you hear that?

WALLS. DOWNSTAIRS.

Because there are walls in my house now (finally). And we put paint on them (sort of).

Tomorrow Nelson and Josel will finish with the last of the missing pieces and then we will be ready to go everywhere. Paint and paint and paintity (that word sounds dirty if you say it out loud), and then MOVE IN.

Here are five things that I am excited about in St. Albans

1. A house. With walls. With paint on them.

2. A movie theater within walking distance. Also a chinese food restaurant (CHINESE FOOD. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS SINCE WE LIVED IN MA BECAUSE IT DOES NOT EXIST IN VERMONT)

3. A grocery store that is less than twenty minutes away AND open 24 hours.

4. A much shorter drive.

5. And yes. Yes I will say it outloud and write it and sing it from the mountaintops. No offense to anyone, but there is no family in St. Albans that will be LIVING WITH US. No one on the other side of the wall. No one to pick up our dishes or move our laundry or call when we aren't home by 7:30.

Much love to all the family who has supported us through this crazy move and all the patience, generosity, and love you've shown us.

Now please leave us alone for a month and a half.

(at least)

The walls are primed and ready to go. And so am I.
