It's crazy, isn't it? One moment you're cleaning up from Christmas the next moment you realize that Spring is upon you. It sounds cliche to say that "so much has happened" since so much happens to everyone in the course of 2 months. In fact, I'd venture to say that if a lot doesn't happen to you in 2 months, you might want to put down the remote control or close the laptop and get outside more. That being said, here's a quick overview of what has happened since January 22, 2009, the date of our last blog.
February 9: 12: Homer takes a business trip to New York City and comes back with a new understanding of what makes NYC the greatest city in America. Yes, unfortunately, he drank the punch... and bought a black, wool coat to fit in.
February 13: Homer and Alicia celebrate the one year anniversary of meeting face-to-face by reenacting their first date. Japanese hibachi, sushi, laughing, oogling, touching, treasuring. It was a good night.
February 19 & 20: Homer and Alicia sign the final documents and pick up the key to their home. They are halfway to being the uncool, home-owning, mini-van driving parents their kids will claim they are as teenagers.
- February 22: Homer and Alicia re-enter Home Depot to finish shopping while every eye in the store watches them suspiciously and judgingly
- February 23 - 26: Homer visits Home Depot each day to buy things for the house. He’s recognized each day by a different employee.
March 5: After getting his own haircut, Homer tricks Chandler into sitting down in the barber chair in order to finally remove his flowing, golden locks.
The rest of the time we’ve spent hanging pictures, setting up beds, installing blinds and ultimately making our house a home. We’ll be posting pictures of the inside of the house very soon.
