Fred Weekend

We spent the weekend at our new house!

Saturday morning, we left bright and early and made the 2.5 hour drive to Fredericksburg to get our keys and check out our new house! Our realtor, Don, had left the keys there for us, and when we walked in, there was a bottle of Grape Creek wine and a congrats balloon waiting for us!! So sweet of him.

We walked around and checked out everything there...overall, it's a great structure. We have some things we'd like to update/change, and we had some cleaning to do. We had a mattress delivered, and we were able to see how comfy that was, too.

We had lunch at Sozial Haus, then shopped the Main Street shops for any finds for our house. We left empty handed. Then, we headed to Grape Creek and 4.0 for some wine and relaxation. We decided on August E's sushi for dinner (sooooo yummy) and then we made a 10:00 p.m. run to Walmart for a long list of things for the house.

Sunday, after a very good night of sleep, we had a late breakfast at a new place and then headed back home to work. Chris did some stuff outside and in the garage, and I did some cleaning inside. And we made lists...lists of things to fix, to change, to buy, etc. Lots and lots to do.

But you know what? We are super excited to be owners in Fred!! We're looking forward to getting it all put together.

Know what else?? Our house is about 1300-1400 square feet, and it feels like a mansion to us!!! After living in the 5th wheel, this little house feels super roomy! It's all about perspective.

I'm also very happy that the last owners left the porch swing on the back porch...yay!!

So...we are back home now and will work for two days. Then we are going to enjoy 5 days down in our new house, working on it some more! We'll be there for the 4th of July, and we are excited for the fireworks show there. It's always soooo good!

Tuesday is Chris' 44th birthday! We'll be having dinner at Perini Ranch so he can have his favorite bread pudding to celebrate!
