The house...TA DA

My favorite room of the house. Our family room. This is where we spend most of our time. It's very cozy and fun. Our new TV fits in nicely. Oh and we do have a fireplace, it's behind the TV box. And that's David and his sister Bridget. His family came out here for thanksgiving and we hosted it. Despite my minor stressing things turned out very nice. The turkey cooked all the way but not too much. We had lots of friends and family including, old roommates, parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends. It was a great feast with great food provided by all. Thanks for a great thanksgiving to all our wonderful family and friends.

Old TV. New TV.

We did our black Friday deal shopping on thanksgiving. David's dad got a paper and read all the deals to us. We (mostly David) have been shopping around a little for a fancy TV. There were great deals yesterday so David stopped at the store on the way down to Provo to get my grandma. He got his baby. LOL. It is very pretty and the picture quality is nice.

We had a house warming party on Halloween. This is the only picture i have of it. Cute baby Alice the cowgirl. She's a doll. Oh we were crazy to host a party a week after we moved in. I was stressed to the max trying to get everything ready. Boxes unpacked, rooms put together. It was horrible. But at least it got us to get the house put together quickly. Man was i tired after that day was over though.

Living room.

Finished product. It's kind of shadowed here but the walls are beige and the bay window is a mossy green (same as the next picture). I love color and we opted for several accent walls instead of lots of color through the whole house. I think it turned out great :)



Dining area.



Our bedroom.

Kitchen. I really like the kitchen. It's a great size and very functional. I eventually want to put up a nice tile back splash. That should give the kitchen a little more character.

Our backyard. It's very nice and big. We love all of the trees we have. We have 5 total. It made for a lot of leaves (30 bags front and back) but I'm sure it will be so nice to have the shade in the summer. We love our house.

We have a couple extra bedrooms too and a half basement that is unfinished. But those are boring for now. We'll liven those up when we have kids in a while. Finishing the basement will start next summer. I also want to put hardwood down on the main level and tile in the entryway, kitchen and bathrooms. We're working at it slowly.

Welcome to our home.

Easing my way back into this...

I have tons of pictures of the new house to post. Lots to say about the move and the transition to being homeowners. Lots to tell about our new jobs. But my camera batteries are dead and i need them to be charged, also i can't find the cord to upload photos. so that will have to wait.

Just wanted to share this funny little tidbit. We have had leftover candy from Halloween because we didn't have many trick or treators because Church trunk or treats have killed real Halloween. but so we've been bringing candy to work for dessert with our lunches.

today after work David said to me, "I've been waiting to ask you this all day. I ate nerds today. Does that mean I'm a cannibal?" Lol so funny. he's such a dork. I love him.

That's all for now.
