This week we made our first trip to Lowes as homeowners! Now I see why people like that store so much. Don't get me wrong I still spend at least half an hour leaning on the cart bored out of my mind waiting on Larry to decide which type of chain he needs for whatever. But it is exciting going there to get things for home improvements! This trip we purchased all the mini-blinds for our windows... because I am pretty sure the neighbors no longer care to see into our house! Also we got our keys made including a very cute Tinkerbelle key for Kayla and we got the letters to replace the old owners name on the mailbox with PENNS! How cute are we?! We will have our own little mailbox with our own name on it! We are so homeownerish, aren't we?! Of course when we got home Larry looks at me and say, "Please tell me I don't have to hang these blinds tonight?" No honey not tonight I know you are tired... poor thing... he has worked very hard.
I was just telling my mom yesterday how difficult he is being with this whole move. I packed every box that got moved and so far I have unpacked every box too. My DH gets sidetracked easily and it frustrates me some times. For instance instead of helping me get things unpacked on Saturday night he decided to start cutting down the tree in our front yard, with a CHAINSAW!!!

It got even worse after this, he put on a harness and climed the tree with that chainsaw!
Now while this is something that needs to be done, it doesn’t need to be done on our first night in the house... what does need to be done is unpacking some dishes and utensils so that we can eat. But just when I complain about something like that he does something great like clean the apartment. After we took the second to last load from the apartment I did not even have to go back. He went back Sunday and vacuumed and then when he got off work yesterday he went and cleaned the apartment! A job I was sure he was going to leave for me! I was so thrilled that all I had to was go by and do a once over. Don't you hate right when you are frustrated with them they go and do something great! I love that man!
Homeowner-liscious,

:) Thanks for the plug. I would be upset too if my husband was cutting a tree down the first day!!! Geez... but that is his gift- manual labor- so, you can't blame him for trying. I'm glad he cleaned the apartment for you- you need to focus on the new, not the old... I am so happy for you and your first house! :)
