new home and neighborhood exploring

We just brought over our first boxes and bookcase, rearranged the rug that will be in the dining room and started planning out what furniture will go where in the new house. It makes it feel real now, which is a very nice feeling.

After dropping off some boxes of books, we explored the area a bit. Walked around Ladd's Addition, went to the neighborhood coffee shop, and then drove down to Hawthorne. Tim finally saw that it was a cool section to wander around, with lots of coffee shops, restaurants and neat, different little stores. We won't be over there all the time, but it will be nice to go over and wander on some weekends.

Dumb moment of the weekend: We were signing the lease and paperwork yesterday, and I kept signing everything for 2008. I guess that is what happens when you don't eat all morning, and then you go to tell Tim that we have a two-year lease, through 2008. Lol. But I also dated the rent check for 2008 too, doh, so I have to drop off a new check to Will. It's tough to be so cool. :)
