The end of the homeless era

For most of our married life, Sean and I have been homeless. Right after we got married, we spent a week packing up our belongings and moved the majority of them into a storage locker in Austin. The rest was scattered between Chicago and New Jersey.

Now, about one and half years later, we find ourselves settling back in NYC and moving into our first home as Mr & Mrs. Our stuff is now scattered across New York, Illinois, and New Jersey instead of Texas, Illinois, and New Jersey. (Hey - at least the stuff is all getting physically closer to each other and to us!)

We're working on consolidating all our belongings not only into one state, but into one city, and under one roof. It's taking a little longer than anticipated because we discovered that about 80% of our new home doesn't have electricity.

As our friend Fozzie Bear asked, "when you go from being homeless to having a home with no electricity - are you moving up or down in this world?!?!?"

Because I (Lily) am somewhat amused by this whole situation, we'll be chronicling our attempts to restore electricity and other home renovation projects in this blog.
