down-comforters

We have finally gotten all of our things moved in to our new home.  It took us quite awhile to find the right one and then figure out all of the financial details.   I swear I almost went crazy trying to flush out all of the financial stuff.  I just know that my mind is not meant to think that way; statistically and like a game show contestant.  Now we have finally come to the day where we can move in and start to enjoy our new home.  I have gotten all of our old down comforters and our beds set up for the first night in our new home.  We have a truck rented tomorrows for us to begin actually moving the bulk of our stuff in.  Today I just mad two trips across town some essential for our first night like the bed and the down comforters.  I brought over a  little bit of food for us to eat our first dinner in this new house.  When I walk around in the house and in the big back yard I just think about how much work it has taken for me to get to this point.  We both just finished our doctoral degrees in the spring and after a combined twenty year of higher education between us, this seems like the first moment either of us has been allowed to slow down in a decade.  There is a creek that runs through our back yard that was the biggest selling point for me because it looks like the creek I used to play in as a child.  In the summer, when we looked at the house there were crayfish that crawled around in the rocks while we walked past.  It reminded me of when my brothers and I would try to fish for them in our creek. When I saw that I just knew that this was the place that I wanted.  Now we have come a long way from the tour to setting up our comfortable new room.  When I sleep tonight under my down comforters with my wife I will be hitting a milestone that only seemed a dream a year ago, let alone when we met eight years ago.
