Reading some of the other things people have gone through with bringing one home, I feel very fortunate she adapted so well ( pretty much immediately ). Not sure if it was because of the short move or because we sat there at the breeders playing with her and her siblings for about an hour before she was put in her carrier ( and my wife talked to her all the way home ). Although I've never had any issues with cats adapting to our house.
I've been working on getting her to wear a collar which has been fun but she only pops it off about once a day now. Here is a picture of how impressed she was wearing one.

Now the fun part is trying out different foods. When we got her she was eating Nutro Chicken and brown rice, apparently the litter did not care for blue buffalo so I'm trying her with Nature's variety instinct which is a lot less filler. Gave her a half a can of "rabbit" which did not get rave reviews from my son this morning when it finished processing, but she seemed to absolutely love it.
I love the energy and that she still finds time to cuddle. I put a 12' shelf with carpet above the TV to remove it as an overwatch position ( she hasn't tried jumping up there, but not something I want to find out is how durable a screen is against those rear claws ). We watched BBCs "Hunt" last night, she seemed quite interested in a few of the prey and even re-enacted some of the stalking scenes with my feet as the prey a bit later, and again while I was trying to sleep, then again this morning when I got up. I've been working on associating the word "ouch" with her using her claws, but I think she's a bit young to not use them.
