We're in the new house!  It's every bit as wonderful as we thought it would be, and then some.
We did have one unpleasant surprise in the closing: our mortgage is $135/month MORE than we thought it was going to be. Our finances are already really tight, so this is really bad news, but we'll manage somehow - we always do.
The move itself went perfectly smoothly and without a hitch. I did have to do a lot more lifting and lugging than I planned on, but I didn't have to move any furniture, and that's all I really cared about anyway! All-in-all, it was the LEAST stressful move I've ever experienced, and I have Adam's *perfect* planning of the whole thing to thank for that, I think.
I've already gotten a LOT of unpacking done. It helps that we don't have a ton of stuff to begin with, but I'm also a complete pro at getting settled: 10 moves in 10 years will do that, eh? I figure I'll be completely done unpacking by the weekend.
The only wrench in the works is that our DSL won't be hooked up till October 5. I'm using a crappy slow dialup in the meantime, so I won't be around much until then.
Well, back to work for me... this morning's task is to figure out how to get the nasty wet-dog smell (blech) out of the couch we just got for free.

Congrats Casey! I'm so glad your move went so smoothly! That's great news, moving can be such a pain!
I'm a fast unpacker too, I hate procrastinating....I had our stuff unpacked and even had drapes up in 2 days in our new house! I didn't have a job though, so that helps a LOT.
Well enjoy the new house! I'm so happy for you and Adam. It sounds perfect! Have fun decorating!
