No internet yet at home, and I have only minutes left on my laptop here at the cafe but I had to drop in to tell you WE LOVE IT.
Also, living with Lala is cool. Yep. Good stuff.
Quick pics:
Strong Young Movers. Both Lala and I want to marry Josue, the head guy. Hot, handsome, nice, and funny — he’s the total package. And he carries them, too. Bless him and his crew.
Three animals in one place! We are surviving well with all the animals, only because darlings Kris and Jodi gave us that wonderful cat pheremone plug-in thing called Feliway — makes Digit almost mellow around the dogs. Amazing.
Home. Ahhhh.
New bed! Good sleep!
That tangerine wall suits us.
My old table, given to me by a friend a few years ago, looks perfect here. And swing! Outside!
Scarlet!
Thank you, for all your comments and love and kindnesses. (Dani, the bagels you sent us (from New York! The real thing!) have sustained us for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Literally.)
Internet soon! I hope!
Exhausted. Whew.
Rachel H says
Big Smiles over here. Looks great.

And now you’re even a slum landlord! Way to go!!! (and you didn’t think you’d ever buy your first place)

Celia says
What a darling little love nest! More power to you both!
Daisy-Winifred says
Just be happy together and the ‘family’ will follow the clues …even Digit
Lots of sleep, swing sitting and of course hugging seems most important, let everything else slip into place as it will and delight in each others sense of being in the right place with the rightest person:0)
stinkerbell says

Danielle says
Ohhh, your new home is beautiful, you two are beautiful, everything looks wonderful! Congratulations Racheal (and Lala!) I wonder, is Lala’s room a computery/music room, or will the music just be through the entire house? It looks like a musical sort of home ๐
spaazlicious says
So awesome, livin’ the American dream! (in a good way, not the too much coke and then the stock market crashes kind of way but the hard work pays off with a happy home and beautiful wife and happy animals and happily ever after kind of way)
Sandy says

Steph VW says
Yay! You’re in your new place!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!
I love the red in the bathroom. Hmmmmmmm…
I think there is a possibility that my dining and living rooms are the same colour as your tangerine wall. I love that colour.
Steph says
Wow, you two are fast! I still have boxes to unpack and it’s almost been a year (just all the pictures to hang, but still).
It looks fantastic, as do the two of you.

Love that Feliway… It helped the boys on their move! You know, I’ve been looking at that first picture and thinking there was snow on the blinds! (I guess I have snow on the brain…)

Awww. I’m so happy for all of y’all! And yes, the colors really do suit you.
PS Feliway comes in a plug in thingie?! I just have the pump spray, which is all we had to ease the cats through moving across country. Miracle stuff!
