Ok so here is my attempt at updating this. (August is almost gone! Gasp!)It will undoubtedly be quite long, so I think I shall break it up into many little pieces so as to make it more easily digestible. A lot has happened! I haven't really had time to write- Thomas has kept us busy cleaning the house or running around or whatever it was we did with the past weeks.
We LOVE LOVE LOVE our new home! It is so amazing and beautiful! I was so surprised at how quickly this house has felt like home to me. I am SO excited to live here! I love Rexburg so far and I am LOVING the beautiful weather- it is so amazing to wake up and need to pull a blanket over myself because it is cold! We actually even un-installed our window air conditioner just the other day because we weren't using it anymore and we wanted to be able to open that window and let the beautiful breeze come in! Imagine... a breeze that isn't HOT!
The wonderful little old lady who lived here before us- her name is Carol Barrett- left us a lot of stuff that really helped us- like soap in the bathrooms and laundry room and cleaners in the kitchen and curtains on all the windows and gardening supplies and everything! She even left all these cans of paint that match the different colors in the house so we could touch things up if we needed to! And brand-new light fixtures for every room. She is pretty much amazing! We were so grateful to have a lot of these things right away and not have to go searching through boxes for ours or go out to the store and buy them. It really made me love this little lady who lived here and was probably thinking something like "I'm moving into my son/daughter's house that already has all these things- and I think that I will leave these things to help this young couple out". She even left us a paper with some notes on it about things like who the gas company was, a good insurance company to talk to, where she gets her firewood in the winter, where the water heater is, and lots of little helpful things like that. She seems like such a wonderful lady! I really wish I could have met her.
