Celebration Life

Guess who went from Celebration renter to Celebration owner yesterday morning?

Yep, we’ve moved! It was about the shortest move you can make — across a park, past some condos, and 4 houses — and yet, that didn’t make it all that much simpler. It seems whether you’re loading a dresser onto a truck to drive it 1 mile or to drive it 50, it ends up weighing about the same.

We’ve been blessed to find a house here in Celebration that we can afford AND meets our needs. Believe me, it wasn’t easy. We made our offer in late July, and it finally closed on Feb 8. We were lucky in that the previous owners treated the house with the care it deserves, so it was move-in ready. We were literally moving in our stuff within an hour of closing, no painting or deep-cleaning necessary.

Now begins the process of turning this house into a home. There are many boxes that stand in the way.

We added a new Celebration resident on Monday. Our little family of two grew by one when my wife delivered our son into this world on Monday, August 10, at Florida Hospital in Celebration. Both mommy and baby are happy and healthy!

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. David Marcantel and the fantastic staff there on the fourth floor in The Baby Place. The nurses there were very professional in their jobs, and knew exactly the right tone to strike during the emotional event of long labor, the birth itself, and the recovery. They were kind but authoritative, and, with the exception of one individual, never made us feel dumb when answering our first-time-parent questions.

So now you know why there haven’t been any updates lately!
