Another Adult Milestone

We are finally living in a house. It is wonderful. I love it. I walk down my stairs everyday and find myself thinking about how I love my house. We are renting, which is kind of a bummer because it is money that isn't building our own equity. Regardless, we're out of apartments. It is wonderful to be able to let Delaney run and jump and not worry about neighbors below us. Our house is 1600 sq feet, 3 bedrooms, and 2.5 bathrooms. It has a two car garage, a small backyard, and a giant kitchen. We have about 4-5 times the amount of counter space compared to what we had in the apartment.

We have a laundry room. What I love about the laundry room is that the light isn't connected to the fan. In our apartment, we couldn't turn on the light without having the loud fan come on. I hated it. We mostly went into the laundry room in the dark because we hated the fan. Our master bedroom has a jack and jill sink set up. We have a large walk-in closet. Our bedroom is massive. Our master bathroom has tub/shower combo. I love the tub because you can fill it up all the way. It is actually deep enough to cover my body! Score for me.




Another thing that is wonderful is all the natural light. There is SO MUCH light! We have tons of windows. I love it. There are narrow windows about our windows that let in more light. I didn't realize how dark our apartment was. It makes a difference to have windows on both sides of the house, not just the one side that we had in the apartment. Delaney loves the little room under the stairs. It is supposed to be a storage room, but we kept it empty to let her play in there. We also have her take naps in the room because it is dark in there.  We need to get black out curtains for her room. Our neighbors that we have met seem really nice.



The movers: Chris Candito, Nate, Mike, and Dave

Our first Sunday in the house Mike played the hero. We heard someone frantically yelling "lisa" outside and we went out to see what was going on. Turns out our neighbor's front porch was on fire. The flames were about four feet high. Our neighbor Allie brought out her fire extinguisher and handed it to Mike. He put out the flames for them. Lisa, the woman's whose house it was, said that she should have unplugged her heating pad when she saw it sparking earlier that day. (Yeah, that is an obvious idea. lol sparks = fire starting). We are in a new ward. We are going to Mike's sister's ward now. Delaney was pumped to go to her new sun beam class. What makes the new ward even better is that it is at 9am. The church is little bit more  true when it starts at 9 am. 1 pm = a little less true. lol

The first weekend in the house brought another present to me. I was covered in hives. I noticed a couple on my armpit Saturday night. By Sunday morning my hands, arms, feet, legs, and other parts of my body were covered in hives. It was painful hives. Moving caused painful itching. I ended up in urgent care Sunday night because it was so bad. I was given a steroid shot in the bum, and then 5 different prescriptions.












Long story short, we have no idea what I am allergic too. The doctor said we probably won't ever know unless it happens again. All we know is that it was something I ingested.
