4 years, 1 month.

Dear Jack,

Yesterday our family visited our new home for the final random time, as our next visit will the final walk-through!

So obviously, as we are scheduled to be moving in 3 weeks from right now, the carpet is finally in. Not that there is anything particularly glorious about carpet in general, I would have to say that having the carpet installed in our new home now makes things feel very real and official.

Mommy brought the tape measurer so we could measure for the TV in our bonus room.

We also took a good long walk around the living room downstairs as we are, in all seriousness, considering getting a pool table instead of a couch; when that time comes. (We’re not immediately furnishing our new home; just as it fits the budget.)

With Craig’s List, there’s a good chance we could get a pool table for free if we are willing to come pick it up from someone’s house. We’re not quite ready to make that decision now, but we are in the consideration stage.

I thought I was just joking when I mentioned it to Mommy, but to my surprise, she apparently thought it was a cool and relevant way to utilize our living room; since our TV will be upstairs anyway.

We also noticed that our yard is being filled in with dirt; meanwhile our fence’s construction has begun.

Next weekend we’re planning on going to see Paddington in the movie theatre, then just a few days later is our final walk-through.

The time is almost here. And I still haven’t taken the time to officially declare that our town house sold a couple of months ago…

Again, until I can know how much money we made off the deal, I just don’t feel closure with that story yet. We are still waiting on a refund to come in the mail on that.

We are so close to moving in. Our family is more than ready!

Love,

Daddy
