Oh Yeah, You Blend

We have now officially shuffled off to Buffalo (well, Amherst to be exact…Snyder to be super-mega-exact). We arrived last Thursday after leaving Texas on Tuesday afternoon and driving all day Wednesday. There were some issues with getting into the house (we’re not closing until next Wednesday, so we’re technically tenants now, insurance hijinks ensued), but we got here with our two carsful of stuff, bought a futon so we’d have something to sleep on other than the floor and plonked ourselves down!

Our stuff arrived Wednesday, the little men came to unload it all for us yesterday, and now we are surrounded by boxes…but at least we slept in our own bed last night.  We haven’t decorated yet, but we have little paint chips all over the place (as my dad says, if we get enough of them we can just glue them to the walls and no need to paint).

Crazy house lady…but things are moving along, we should have the inspection done by next Tuesday, then we can try to decide what to discuss…

Meanwhile, more pictures inside of the upstairs bedrooms:

Back in TX after a week in Buffalo looking for a house. And we found one! Waiting for the final paperwork, but it looks like we bought a house (pending inspection and all that other stuff which I knew nothing about a week ago, and about which I now know almost nothing). It’s a four bedroom, two and a half bathroom Colonial with a big yard (can you tell I’ve been reading a lot of real estate listings?) in Snyder (which is an area of Amherst). The neighbourhood is nice – feels city-ish while still being villagey. Very walky. There’s a whole bedroom suite downstairs, plus three bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. We have bathrooms to spare baby!
