We went straight from the agency to our house, and I insisted we take pictures to remember this.
I even got a picture of Paul opening our door for the first time, then I made him carry me in!
After we made sure that our house was okay, we hopped back in the car and drove to Glasgow - it was time to see our dear friends Ruth and Stu! We could catch up for days, but we only had one night so we tried to do as much as we could. We had delicious curry take-out, game time, wine time, chat time, and finally, sleep time. The next day, they took us to their new house. Although it's being redone right now, we can definitely see the potential. It is gigantic and absolutely beautiful! We are so happy for them and look forward to living closer to them next year.
The next day we were meeting Paul's family, so we drove back to our house. We had managed to break one of the doors already (okay, we didn't break it, but it was still broken) so while Paul and his dad tried to fix it, I stood with Joan (Paul's mum) and Eve (Paul's grandma) in our furniture-less home. We eventually decided it was a better idea to catch up in their B&B that had sofas. Below is the picture of my sleeping bag, because we slept on the floor for two nights in our new home.
The second day we spent just waiting around for the new washer to be delivered, then got a quick lunch before Paul's family headed home. It was a quick visit, but one I expect will be more frequent once we move there.
After Paul's family started their drive home, Paul and I picked up a few things for our house, and just walked around looking at kitchens. I have my heart set on a large, American type refrigerator. I just wish we had the space in our kitchen!
I wish I had taken more pictures, but I took a video instead. When we move in (a year from now!) and finally buy some furniture, we will be open for visitors. Start looking for your tickets to fly over, because we can't wait to host you!
