Welcome to home ownership...

As no surprise moving has been crazy. We've still got many boxes that are going to remain unpacked until we can complete some projects. We have removed some sheets off the windows and replaced them with curtains. One of the weirdest things about our house is the window frames, they are no conducive to blinds... so we've resulted to curtains. Our windows seem to be the oddest size EVER, so until we can afford custom blinds we're dealing with the curtains.

Our backyard and front yard are taking some major transformations as I have spent this whole last weekend weeding out the front yard (and not getting very far) and heavily soaking our grass and plants as they have gone for too long without water and I do not want them to die. We have an over abundance of hibiscus trees that the previous owners planted that have made it through the lack of water and are still blooming so next thing on my list of weeding those planters and pruning them back since they are way out of control. Here's our list of weird things that have come up since we moved in:

1. Our washer pipes need to be snaked because apparently our washer pipe leaks when it hits the rinse cycle. My father in law was able to jerry rig the pipes to make it work for the time being but it seems as though the pipes are blocked.
2. We have a switch in the living room that we have no idea what it does...
3. Our stove had a leak so we have been without a working stove (thank goodness for a crock pot and microwave) and our home warranty will be covering a brand new stove within the next 2 weeks it should be ready.
4. Our thermostat is all WRONG, why does the A/C never turn off? It seems like it is not reading it right. Luckily our house stays pretty cool, so we don't even need to turn on the A/C until like 4pm. We use our house fan once it cools off that thing is a Godsend

So among this list, very minimal. We can still function, dinner can be a challenge... but all in all God has been gracious to us and I can be nothing but a thankful woman for what he has provided us! On an up note, I have met one of our next door neighbors and they know a lot about our property and the previous owners, and they are lovely. Hope all our other neighbors are as nice :)
