Hi folks! It's been a while since I blogged, so I thought I'd catch everyone up. I just bought a new house on September 30th, and I'm still living out of boxes. Luckily, the internet is installed now, and I can get back to business as usual to some degree. I really enjoy owning a house. There's always something to do, and now I have a chance to work with my hands like never before.
The other nice aspect is that my girlfriend moved in. I honestly expected it to be more of a transition than it was, but things are going very smoothly. Plus, it's nice to have someone to cook for me here and there. My cooking is pretty crappy. My neighbor on one side is a retired meat cutter and handyman that was really good friends with the previous owner. He has been very helpful with getting acclimated to the neighborhood. On two sides of the house, I have an empty field that occasionally contains show horses. They pretty much keep to themselves, though. In the back, I have a jungle.
I am co-authoring a new blog called Nerdy Homeowners. There, we are planning to share our experiences with basic home maintenance and other projects. I've been dreaming about this for years! Life is so exciting right now (but also busy). I'll keep you updated as things unfold.
