The Hunt and KITTENS

I'm glad to say the house sale and new home purchase were done on "K" time.  Fast and furious.  We sold in a day, closed in three weeks.  Looked for about two weeks. Made and offer, closed, and were moving in August 2.   And what better way to celebrate a new home than to get kittens.

Originally In planned to get a condo for the kids to share after "J" graduated.  When we bumped up our time line by a year I realized we needed a house where I could live too.  And we needed parking-lots of parking. We looked at a lot of duds.  We even made an offer and lost.  Then we found it.  The perfect house.  5 minutes from campus, in a lovely established neighborhood,  no sharing bathrooms.  2 driveways, 3 garages, LOTS of parking.  

Besides all of the obvious things there were little details that I loved like the the grass cloth wall paper

A laundry room NOT in the basement-with a sink

A mudroom-I love a good mudroom

So may little details like the wainscoting, the crown molding, the endless built-ins, and the silk curtains.  Now obviously I wouldn't buy a house for the curtains...but everything in the home was done with such high quality and attention to detail-I felt certain this home had been very well cared for.  

The humane society had BOGO kittens. So how could we not get 2.

They were so desperate to get rid of animals that they practically begged us to take them.  Tipsy, was deaf and has wobbly cat syndrome.  Juan is just Juan..a real character from day one.

The kittens immediately made our new house a home.

One day I will go through all these boxes.  But for now I will play with kittens.
