Moved in!

Yay! We finally have internet in the new house! I've been keeping up with my email through my iphone, but it just doesn't work to use the internet on the phone for any lengthy period of time. Now, if we could only get the home phone working. Everything is still in boxes here, we're still searching though kitchen boxes to scrounge out something to eat. (Fast food and dinner out is getting a bit old.) The actual move on Friday went really smoothly and took up way less time than we thought it would. Less time = less money spent. Some of the guys that moved us on Friday were also part of the team that moved us into our last place, so that was kind of funny because they did remember us. It is so nice to have a garage! The new house is smaller, but it seems bigger, we think because there's not as much stuff crammed into places and we can put a lot of stuff in the 2 car garage that was otherwise living in the back bedroom. Basically, the third bedroom in our last place was totally a storage room that we were paying to air condition and heat and all that, so the garage is a big to do for us :). The more time we spend here in the new house, the more that we love it, I'm looking forward to getting unpacked and truly settled in here. No sign of our neighbors here, so we'll see how that goes, of course they have a lot to live up to via the standard of our last neighbors...

At the yarn store on Friday (after the movers left), we hung out and spun and there were more people there than usual, but not a lot of the usual Friday people, so Laurie got to meet some of the people I befriended at the knitting retreat who are normally Saturday people. TYF had just got in some new fiber from Pagewood Farms; the last shipment they got (which was also the first) sold out before they could get it out of the box! We got some lovely BFL, which I'm really to excited to spin. I also pre-ordered a colorway of the next shipment and I'm looking forward to that. So the colors are "rainbow" and "lilac". The rainbow is for me and the purple is Laurie's. I'm also hopeful that my new bossie purpleheart spindle is coming soon. I got an email from the makers saying they are doing the final touches... I can't wait! Speaking of spinning makes me want to get out the spindles now, so I think I'll do just that. (And we got a new pair of hand carders that are for finer fibers, they are curved too, which makes them easier to use. The other ones were ripping up my merino/cashmere.)
