What better way to celebrate moving into a beautiful home for the next year, paying no rent, and indulging in the life of suburbia then by throwing a housewarming party! While it took some time to adjust, I can now say it feels like our home. Having our friends over was an important step in acknowledging the adventure we have taken on, and it was time to share it with the people we love. The little finishing touches are coming together around the house as well which is making it feel like home.
(Disclosure: This is an inside joke. No kegger was actually had. Though don’t kid yourself, alcohol was involved.)
However, there is one little (big) detail I cannot get past which has brought me more stress than needed. WHITE. CARPET. That’s right. Now I don’t know if this was part of the house when purchased – which I’m assuming it was – but who in their right mind puts in white carpet? I mean, you’re just asking for it. Everyday, I come home from work (landscaping) usually covered in dirt and I dread walking over that carpet to get to the shower. And, when throwing a party…let’s just say I was a bit paranoid during the evening.
But all was well and joyous. Friends left giddy (and maybe a bit jealous), carpets remained white, and two housesitters were content and happy.

Hahahahahahaha….that carpet is the constant ant infestation of my summer picnic. I can’t wait for Bill to read this.
I am interested to hear Bills response….
