Since we moved into the new digs on Kensington we've been wishy-washy about it being 'home.' We've discussed with each other the way the house is 'too big' at times and 'not cozy' at others. I think it's just been different. Jenna thinks it's because the 20 ft. ceilings don't fit our stuff we bought for the 9 ft. ceilings at Cambray.
Tonight we threw our first big event. It wasn't exactly a 'house warming' party or a 'meet the neighbors' type party. We threw a shower for our friend Caroline whose getting married next month. We're so happy for her. She has met a really good guy and they honestly seem to be perfect for one another. But enough about them... :) We busted our butt all week to get the house ready for the party tonight. Projects we put on the back burner we suddenly needed to get done. I refinished Jenna's grandmother's buffet and finally got it in the house.
The short of the story (like I can tell a short version of anything) is the house really felt like home tonight. We got several compliments on the house and the yard. I'm really proud of all the hard work we put into the yard. If any of you saw the yard when we moved in, you know what I mean. Anyways the night was wonderful. We had almost 30 people here and I was proud to welcome each one of them.
