It hasn’t been exactly one month yet, but I have been in my own house since July 11th, so just under three weeks. I have learned a lot so far and discovered that I need a lot of things I did not previously own in my apartment. Namely, everything that has to do with being outdoors. I still need a patio set, but I do have a mower and I have mowed already. I am sure my neighbors appreciate me mowing though July has been dry and not much has grown. I also did some pest control this week since I have been experiencing some centipedes which are just plain creepy. No bug needs that many legs! The next steps will be to get the patio set and also a dining room set since I have been using the coffee table for this purpose so far. Then there is the neverending cleaning aspect. I could usually do this in a weekend at my apartment but here everything has been multiplied. Overall though it has been a lot of fun and I do not for one second regret buying a house. I finally have a place that I can call my own and put my own mark or spin.
The summer has been going fast, too fast, and it is almost August. I feel like I have been wishing away most of June to get in my house and it is already August. It has been hot, but not terrible. Recently we did get some heavy rain which I am sure my yard enjoys. On the other hand it is almost football season! So I am really torn between the two of enjoying warm weather and having football season. I do know that once football season starts that the cold weather will soon follow. This year though I will have a nice firepit so that I will be able to enjoy that.
Things have been settling down, so I hope I am able to get back to updating this.
