Another weekend has come and gone. It was a very quiet weekend - and the first weekend since we've moved to Madison where we've had the house all to ourselves.
Dale and Jacq moved into their new place on Saturday and it was so eerie in our house without them there. We found out a few things in their absence:
1. Our refrigerator and freezer are absolutely gigantic. Seriously, even with 4 people living under one roof we rarely ran out of space in the fridge, but now that it's just Steve and I, our fridge looks practically empty.
2. Our house feels absolutely HUGE! The basement area where Dale and Jacq stayed is not glorious by any means (we're working on that though), nor is it spacious. But, it's amazing how an extra bedroom, bathroom and family room make our house feel like a mansion!
Steve and I are still getting used to living on our own. In the last 2 years with all of this selling of our house, moving, and buying a new house we've lived with lots of people, including us in Steve's parents house, me in the house of complete strangers for a few months and then Dale & Jacqueline with us for a year. After getting used to living with people it feels strange to have to get used to living on our own again.
Steve and I both enjoy being around people, so it all feels a little weird with just the two of us in the house. It was kind of sad for me to wake up on Saturday morning and not have other people in the house to chat with over coffee.
All of this weirdness will be short lived as the house will be full again in January with the arrival of Jess. In the meantime though we'll be plenty busy with fixing up our basement.
On the to-do list tonight: paint the bathroom (while Steve's out stuffing his face with the guys to see who can put back the most chicken wings)
I am so not looking forward to this!
