We had our first large group of people over to the house this past weekend: I had all of the fellas over for our annual fantasy football draft. This is something we all take very seriously. Everyone arrives with their own beer, snacks, notes, magazines, and about half of them brought laptops for on-the-fly research for those tough in-draft decisions.

We have been living in the house for 11 weeks now, and since my parents have gone home after visiting for a month, we are finally settling into a routine schedule. We set last weekend aside to get some things done that we had been putting off to make it a little more comfortable.

Hallelujah!

That’s what my wife and I have been saying for the last 24 hours. You would say it too if you found one of these in your mailbox.

We love our new house, and we have now spent almost two months here. My favorite room is the man cave downstairs… yeah, the one with the beautiful TV and the comfy couch. What’s not to like? But the room we spend the most time in is the kitchen/living room.

Here’s something I haven’t discussed with my readers yet – meeting the neighbors. Our new townhouse is smack dab in the middle of a row of six townhouses. Naturally, we have six new neighbors.
