...because
* the house sale went through on Jan. 22,
* we decided that living in a house with all-white rooms would be scary,
* we were delusional enough to think that painting would be a good exercise for newlyweds,
* we could paint cheaper than a contractor, and have more control over the schedule,
* if we got everything painted before we moved in, it would be easier, and
* since I'd have 2 days off for Presidents' Day weekend, wouldn't it be fun to move then?
Riiiiiight.
Every night until after 10pm, I've been painting one room or another. Bless Bill, he patiently looks at each paint sample of light beiges, ivorys, and pale greens that I excitedly show him and says, "But do you LIKE it? 'Cause if you do, it's fine with me!" He's done his share of painting, too, which is why we're both hallucinating from the paint experience. ;-)
We've decided that we work very well together...in different rooms! :-) I am obsessive-compulsive about the way I trim a room, which takes me forever. I also can't stop until the room is finished. Hence, the 10pm evenings...after which, I still have to drive home and get ready to teach the next morning.
FINALLY...the painting was finished last night, we're packing the essentials today (God bless the snowstorm that finally hit the Northeast - no school!!), and the moving truck comes tomorrow.
More as it happens! (For the record, I'm in awe of you people who pack up and move across the country. I'm having trouble keeping my head above water just moving 12 miles away!)

We may move across country, the the Air Force packs us and gets it done. It is not easy, but you get used to it.
I'm very excited to come see the new house and how you have made it your own! May the two of you be blessed in that house for many years.
