Stay posted...

We moved a week and a half ago to our house. It has been great so far and really busy. At first it felt a little like we were camping...I hadn't gotten the heat turned on in time, so the house was filled with cold brisk air, and we were taking cold showers. And we were having to search everywhere for the basic essentials...ie, toothbrush, deoderant, underwear. Luckily we got heat after a few days and I started unpacking things so it is much more normal living now:) Except for the fact we haven't had t.v. or internet for a week and a half...so we are actually forced to interact at night! What's that??!! J/k:) But I haven't been able to fully unpack because we still have work to do to finish the ceilings (we worked on scraping the popcorn off before we moved). It's really messy and we have to clear everything out of the rooms we are working on, so we are still sort of living out of boxes. And to add to our craziness, we are going on a cruise in 2 days!! So I am trying to unpack so that I can pack a suitcase for our trip...haha, kinda ironic:) I CAN'T WAIT for our cruise...I'm so excited. We are going to the Caribbean for a week. So, with that said, I should have LOTS of pictures to post after we get back.

We got a house!!!

Finally!! After 8 long months of househunting, and somewhere around 20 offers, we got a house! It's in a nice neighborhood and on a culdesac. I tried to post video of the inside of the house, but was having technical difficulties (as usual:) So here are pics:

When you walk in, this room is to your right:

This is the view standing by the fireplace and looking back towards the front entry. It has an attached garage (that is the open door you see). And this room has a vaulted ceiling.

Another view from the fireplace (you can go into the kitchen)

When you walk inthe front door, you can either go to the living room on your right, or go straight ahead to a family room area. The kitchen can be entered from both rooms.

This is the view when standing in the kitchen. The sliding glass door on the right goes out to the back yard. The hall to the bedrooms is straight ahead. The door you see is to the master bedroom.

Here is the master bedroom (sorry picture is dark)

Another view of master bedroom. It has vaulted ceiling too.

Here is the master bath. It is a 3/4 bath...the shower is to the right.

The walk in closet.

This is the view of the hall from the door of the master bedroom. There's a bedroom on the left and one on the right. And obviously the hall bathroom is straight ahead.

Here is the bedroom on the right. It could be used as an office. It has sliding glass doors out to the backyard patio.
Here is the bedroom on the left...most likely Jake's bedroom.
Well, there it is! And the video of the backyard is down below. Of course we are excited to make some changes to the house to make it our own now. I think that will be a lot of fun. And I can't wait to decorate! We will be moving in a month...so it is time to start packing and getting ready for the move. I can't believe it!
