We're IN!!!

















Above: This is the backyard. it is very wide with one area all trees and the right side grass. Looks like it's screaming "pool" to me? What do you think? The deck is partially seen on the picture on the right.


Well...I spent about 1 hr last night typing a entry and uploading photos for RoadRunner to have issues and it did not get saved!

Here goes again....We moved in without any glitches...Friday, July 7th we had roofers, maid service and carpet cleaners here all at the same time! It was exciting and chaotic! We had a crew of great guys come over for the weekend and help david lay laminent flooring in the master bedroom/closet and front hall. They did an awesome job, but it definitely took MUCH longer then thought! I also had a few of our male friends help take loads over in their truck that we did not pay the movers to move! Amazing the crap we had in that house!

Well--in the essence of time...I have to be at the vet in 1 hr! here are the photos! We have an AMAZING piece of property that is .33 acres sitting on a cul de sac next to a park. We have NO neighbors on the left side of our home and there are truly only 3 of us in the cul de sac. The kids have LOVED the park as it has a drainage ditch with a bit of water, algea, minows, and a hill area where they ride the skateboard down into the pool of algea. Lovely you say...you should see the laundry I have! We are now on restriction to 1 day per week! The downside of the yard, takes me 2 hrs to mow!


Family Room to the RIGHT. David wanted a largee screen tv last year, but I insisted it went in my entertainment piece, so he was only able to get a 32" HDTV. Well, that is now upstairs in the game room. So, I think he felt this wall looked barren. Wednesday of this week, I get a call saying my "electronics" order is ready for delivery!




Here is my favorite part of the kitchen--the counter stove! Love the wood cabinets and especially the DARK tile! It's very open and makes for nice flow when having company!

I've run out of time....I'll be back later to post the kids rooms and the dining room!
