Our House

David and I began looking at houses right before Christmas. We probably went into about 10 houses, and the one we ended up with stuck with me the rest of the day after we saw it.  We decided to put an offer on the house, and David met the realtor there again to make sure we really liked it.  :)

The offer was accepted and the process began.  We set a closing day for February 27th, and we crossed our fingers that we wouldn't have a blizzard that weekend.  The closing day came, and the weather was actually pretty wonderful. Thanks to our wonderful friends at church, we were moved out of apartment in just a few hours.  Like we hoped, there was no snow; however, it was 12 degrees, but the sun was shining!!!  

Our friends helped us set up some of the furniture and place it, so we were able to sleep there the first night.  I'm so thankful for my friends Lindsey, Corinne, and Crystal who helped set up my kitchen on Saturday and Sunday night when I started feeling puny.  They were amazing!!! I ended up being sick for a few days with some awful virus, but I'm just so thankful that David did not get it because the weekend after we moved was his opening night performance of The Manchurian Candidate.  I was so afraid he would miss rehearsals or the show, but thanks to my girlfriends setting up the guest room, he was able to sleep in there and not get sick!!

I've taken just a couple of pictures of some of the rooms that are finished (for now).

One of our favorites...the laundry chute. 

A huge shout out to my Mother-in-law, Lynn, who cleaned our old apartment until it looked like new again.  This was a huge help, and I owe her so much for that!!! Thank you! Thank you!

Also, a shout out to my parents for flying up here (despite having canceled flights) to be here for 40 hours for my birthday, David's opera, and to hang my pictures!!!
