Blog of a Newly Minted Housewife

Sliding into normal

Somehow, I've spent the past year slipping from "living a life less ordinary" to one of suburban normalcy. I am now, officially, a housewife.

At least for the summer.

I quit my job a couple of weeks ago, and last Friday was my last day. What a relief! Not that the job or the company were horrible - far from it. It just felt like time to leave, time to reassess and figure out where I am and where I want to go.

Summer is a great time to do it, since my dear husband is also off for the summer. We can do a lot together, most likely centering on the house, but hopefully also doing some day trips for sightseeing, hiking, what have you.

I'm really looking forward to it.

OK, speaking of the new house, here are some photos. Front and back, the living room before and after (different views), and smallest bedroom (one day a nursery) before and after.

This is all the trash we pulled out the first weekend. Huge thanks to my sister and James' brother for helping us out that cold weekend!

And if you haven't received my new address yet, well, don't worry! I haven't sent out that email. One more thing to add to my "honey-do" list :-)
