Forgot to add this one

I couldn't resist this one. We were unpacking boxes and I heard a funny noise coming from the kitchen. I walked in and this is what I found...Tootie has always loved boxes, when he was a kitten we used to come home and find him in the Yahtzee box (he doesn't quite fit in that anymore). He is finally acclimated to his new home, he loves all the windows and finally being allowed to sit in them! He has decided that the guest bedroom is his, he loves the new bed and the sun that comes in that room. By the way, I almost came home with a dog this weekend. Justin wants a BIG dog, and I didn't think I did but I found a rhodesian ridgeback at Petsmart (they have those dogs for adoption there on the weekends). His name was Nashville and I though that name was fitting for us--- but I was going to call him Nash. Justin thinks it's too soon to be getting a dog but I think we're very close.
And I'm usually pretty good at getting my way ;)

Finally an update

It's been forever since I posted any pictures, I've heard loud and clear that it was time to update the blog :)
We moved in about 2 weeks ago but the house is still somewhat of a work in progress. We are now closer to a home than construction zone, but still have some work to do. All our appliances are in the kitchen and we even have a guest bedroom with a bed (thanks Mo!). Dad did a bunch of baseboards and moulding work today, we are probably more than half of the way there and it really makes everything look finished. More pics to come when we get all the doors, baseboards and moulding in.


We had Mom, Dad and Kris over for dinner. It's fun to cook in our new kitchen (and that takes a lot for me to say that cooking is fun).

Dad and Kris patiently waiting for the rest of us to sit down so we can eat.

Next, we had a movie night. Kristen and Tootie did some good bonding.

This is our guest bedroom, complete with bed! A bed shouldn't be such a surprise, but we went from a one bedroom apartment to a four bedroom house, so we are a little short on furniture.


This picture doesn't have anything to do with the house, but I posted it because last Monday, Justin and I took a hike. This doesn't sound like a big deal, but it was the first time that we've done anything except work on the house on our days off. It was so nice to be able to walk from our house and go exploring. We found a trail that we had never been on before and the views were amazing! It makes us remember why we liked the house and the area so much in the first place.

Since the blog has been mostly pictures of us doing construction-type stuff, I couldn't resist adding this. No, there isn't any more tile to do at our house, but my parents had a water leak in their kitchen and some tiles broke. So, I volunteered to set some new tile down since I'm now an "old pro."
