We bought a furnace on Wednesday. Well, the system's not really set up so that the word "buy" is appropriate. We signed up for one, and paid the deposit. Our new one will be installed within two weeks.
Our current furnace didn't break or anything. But it was kind of old, kind of loud, not really efficient. The new one is officially "high efficiency" with some sort of two-stage system that I don't really understand but is apparently more comfortable and quieter. So, fun!
Also, there's icing on this cake! First, we're getting the ducts cleaned. (A month ago, I didn't even know there was such a thing.) AND, even better, we've got appointments made next week to get estimates for new windows. Windows! Cuz really, there's no point in getting a new furnace when you can feel the breeze coming in from any glassed area of the house. That's just silly.
I thought buying a couch was all grown-up and mature. The fact that I'm actually excited (like, with butterflies and everything!) about the prospect of buying a new furnace and having new windows installed indicates to me that I've reached a new height of adulthood.

do you think we'll continue to have these moments of "ok, NOW i'm adult" for the rest of our days? or at some point will we finally just believe it and realize we've been that way for quite some time?
yea! new furnace & windows.
I, too, find new windows exciting. It's sad.
Funny how, at some point, the concept of a "major purchase" changes from something like a winter coat to a furnace.
I understand your excitement about the furnace and windows. I'm considering asking for a furnace-mounted humidifier for Christmas!
It is kids? Do you finally feel grown when you have kids? Oh wait...
