The longer this wait continues, the more I sometimes feel like this whole "building a house" thing is a dream. A fairly realistic one with a hefty downpayment and actual plans, to be sure, but something nebulous and theoretical nonetheless. That being said, I suppose we ought to start settling into our apartment for real.
When we first moved in here, with probably a quarter or less of our belongings and a 6 month lease, it felt very much like a long-term hotel stay. I enthusiastically have shoved things into every little corner, knowing that this is not my house and it doesn't need to look good. But after almost two months, I've also realized that while this is not a forever or even a long-term house, it is in fact our home for the next indistinct number of months-- possibly even a year-- and so we've got to create some kind of a routine and enjoy the moment.
That being said, the goal this week is to stop drooling all over Houzz and Pinterest, and start making this current place work better for us. First step: start putting stuff away. Also, update our family calendar so that we're looking at October instead of August. Novel concepts, eh?
