how many times can i talk about our new place?

we went to the DMV today and we now have oregon license plates...wahooo!!! we are oregonians! (i have to say that i was sad to see the minnesota license go!) now i just have to take the written driving test to get my license. i'm ready to be a local. (and i can't believe i have to take a test for my license!)

trav and i have had a lot of fun playing house. it's almost like we have been set free from the cage called aparment living and we are just so excited about making the place our own. we both have our own tasks...i'm trying to decorate and set up house. (and unpack box after box) he's doing all the handy work like putting up blinds and sealing the tile.

i'm really happy with our place. even though it is in the 'burbs and it is a townhouse, i have to say i'm completely euphoric to call this place our own. it already feels like home and i didn't think it would be this fun!! everything is exciting...our refrigerator, our stove, buying blinds, using our garage. sitting at our dining room table...everything is an experience in itself. we are like kids in a candy store!

i've painted a lot and still feel like i have so far to go. It is fun watching this place come together! but i'm starting to get a little overwhelmed at all the stuff that still needs to be done before i can feel settled. (i feel like i'm going in a million different directions and now i'm back to work, so i'm trying to balance work with playing house, which is hard to do...especially since i work from home and all the stuff i want to do around the house is staring at me!) I'm hoping to make some headway this weekend...
