Things I've learned living in the new house


Things I've learned in the last week while living in the new house.

1. Its beautiful to wake up & watch the sunrise over the farm field behind my house from my deck or if its chilly my kitchen table. However, its not so fun to have a farm field behind the house when they harvest! (see #2)
2. When they harvest beans, this bean dust floats through the air all over the place & coats everything in it!
3. There are way more bugs & spiders around here! Note: Have hubby spray around the house for spiders & bugs!
4. The oven smells & smokes during its first few uses & its normal!
5. Its truly a pain in the butt & an all day event to water a Semi & 1/2 of Sod!!!! Plus you have to do it every day for a while!
6. Our electric company has been easy to get along with & very helpful as we get everything set up for the Geothermal including getting our heat plus rate (lower rate for heating & cooling)
7. Living in a new neighborhood (lots of new construction) isn't so bad as long as the construction isn't next door! (So far we are lucky!)
8. Our town has no Police station! We are covered by the County Sheriffs! There are at least 2 around here. 1 right around the corner! Plus it seems the Sheriffs do a loop through the neighborhood every night!
9. The town grocery store never seems to be very crowded.
10. I miss living closer to all the shops & stuff, but I hated the feeling of living so close to everyone else! So I would rather drive a little bit to get to the shops!
11. No matter how much room it looks like I will have in kitchen cabinets, its never enough! 
12. Same goes for the pantry!
13. New washer & dryer makes laundry more fun (for now!) That fun could wear off.
14. No matter how much unpacking I do I feel like I keep finding more!
15. Trying to unpack & watch a toddler is hard work! 

I'm sure there is a ton  more, but thats all I can do now as a certain toddler wants my attention now!
