New house, new year

We have moved from our old place one mile to a house near Pier Park in St. Johns. I didn't realize how cramped the four of us were until we basically tripled our square footage.

I will try and get some pics up soon.

The move kicked my bottom. The house deal closed on December 20, and that very same day I got a call not even an hour and a half before my signing appointment saying the the seller needed an additional week to get out. Since I was looking forward to my 11 day overlap I wasn't very happy about this. I ended up zeroing in on December 26 at 5 pm, with a rentback for those additional days. The seller was still in the house until December 27 at noon, and still had stuff in my covered front porch until December 28, and didn't get the last of his stuff off my property until December 29. Meanwhile, I had already arranged to be out of the other place by the end of December 31. I ended up spending New Year's Day cleaning and hauling the last bit of stuff, and made a dump run in the wee hours of January 2. But it is done. Done done done.
