Boxes, boxes and more boxes

Ok, so I'm still with the roomie. No, I didn't leave. We've actually been getting along better and talking.

Yes, talking.

You know talking! It's that sound that comes out when you move your mouth.

At least I *think* he is learning to talk.

But so far, so good.

And...he bought a new house! Brand spanking new! It has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, cathedral ceilings, chestnut cabinets in the kitchen - 1670 sq. ft. of fresh new gorgeous house :)

And....I have a walk in closet!! Yea! Whoopee! Hot damn even!

As per normal - I did the packing, most of the moving of boxes and clothing. He and his son did move the bed and washer and dryer. (Thank goodness, cause I just can't lift those on my own.) He bought a new living room set and dining table and a breakfast set. His son is living in the old place and he left all that for him there. So basically, besides all the new kitchen stuff I had to buy, we didn't bring a lot from the old place - basic appliances that his son won't use, and all my personal stuff (that has been stuffed away in a closet for years).

My kitchen is gorgeous, the guest bathroom now has a lighthouse shower curtain, towels etc...color! The house is painted neutral colors so I picked out a beautiful dark wood dining set. Accenting color? RED! (Well, what I've bought so far...I only have so much money!!)

So, we are slowly but surely making this place our own. It will take time to find just the right things to hang on walls and decorate. The back yard is supposed to be seeded this week, sod is down in the front and I have a weeping cherry tree :)

So...we have been working on this thing called a "relationship". Hopefully we both will continue to communicate...talk...and maybe, just maybe someday he will start to show affection.

I mean really...we've only been together 8-1/2 years...
