<p>Today was the closing on our new house.  We had a couple of friends over and ate pizza on the floor.  As they marvelled at the size of the house, I felt a moment of buyer's remorse; what are we going to do with all this space?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's a beautiful house.  I am excited about the move.  But a little sad to be saying goodbye to my cosy first house.</p>

<p> I am sure that you will be able to make it comfortable and even cozy ... even with a bit more room. It is good for a family to have a little space.. it really makes you all closer in the end!<br>
  Enjoy your new home.</p>

<p>That's very exciting!  Congratulations!</p>

<p>More space?  Time to entertain! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Congrats on the new house.  I assume it was the one you posted pics of.  Don't worry - you will expand to fill the space shortly. </p>

<p>We went from 1550 to 3100 sq. feet this fall.  We don't have nearly enough furniture, but it's actually quite nice to have a bunch of open carpet floors. </p>

 

[jebba]

<p>Duckgeek, yes!  We're going from 1790 to 2800.  If there was ever a time to ride a bike in the house, it would be now.</p>

 

[airehead]

<p>woohoo!! congrats!!</p>

<p>Yay!  Congratulations!</p>

<p>I wouldn't know what to do with that much space!  We've been living in 1500 sq feet for a long time, and our retirement home is about the same size.  Though I suppose I could consider that 3000 sq ft, just not all in the same place. <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"></span></p>
