NEW HOUSE!!

We put an offer on a house and got it. It's a two minute walk from the Parsons Green Tube stop (on the District line for those interested). It has four bedrooms and a (tiny) basement. There are some nicely done rooms and some not as nicely done rooms, but it's spacious (for London) and will be great, especially for having company. Also noteworthy is that there is a washer and a separate dryer. We will also have room for an elliptical trainer which is awesome.

We won't be moving into our new house until mid-June, so please don't plan any trips until then. This is a little bit later than we anticipated, and I shipped quite a lot of our clothes, so we will have to do some shopping I expect. We are also going to go ahead and buy a blender this weekend so that we can resume having smoothies for breakfast. It's a little thing, but it matters.

It's a huge relief to have a house, but our offer was accepted right after we saw a beautiful flat a block from Hyde Park. I know we ought to have a house with outdoor space and enough room for the kids, but man, I wish we could take the flat. It's SO pretty.

Mostly, it's nice that Eli won't have to leave work early to see properties, and it's nice that the kids won't have to miss naps so that we can see properties.
