I know what today is, but this no April Fool’s joke — fifteen (15) years ago today, we moved into our house in Shepherdstown, WV. We had been “homeless” since November of 2015 — a lot longer than we had planned. We were “assured” that our house would be ready in December (2015.) Based on that information, we agreed to move our of our house in Vienna before Thanksgiving. Our plan was to stay with Kelly and Chris in their new house in Leesburg for 2 or 3 or maybe 4 weeks.
Well of course our house wasn’t anywhere near being ready by December, or January, or February, or March, or — to be honest — April. But on April 1st, we did move in. Almost a year later, the house was probably “ready to move in.” Needless to say, we had a few problems with the builder.
But we survived it all, and we’re happy here in Shepherdstown.
