It doesn't look as good in pics as it does sittin ghere.

Kitchen

I tried to do this as a video, but it didn't work out.





So this is our kitchen. It doesn't have a pantry, which is also weird to me. But that's ok. We might find we don't need those shelves eventually. In that glaring white space I'm going to put a small island. It's on order. That will give us another drawer, the kitchen only has one, weird thing three. It'll also give us a nice cutting board/work area and more storage space. The cabinets aren't all full, but Nerdstar has a lot of stuff that she'll be unpacking when she gets home.

New House

Ta da...

This is the side of the house.  (obviously)

It's a nice 12x12 or so deck.  Just enough room for a grill and a couple of chairs.  The yard really needs grass.  I don't mind the slope too much.  

This area is the rest of the room with the fireplace below.  We'll put the sofa and tv down here.  It's a nice open space. 

This is a nice old fashioned wood burning fireplace.  I've gotten spoiled with our gas fireplace in our apt. but I enjoy building fires!  

This is the downstairs master bedroom.  It's huge.  The closet isnt' great, but that can be fixed in time.  Lots of light and space!

This is a huge laundry/storage area.  There's a good fifteen feet you can't see.  

This is upstairs - probably intended for a formal dining area or something, it opens into the kitchen.  We're going to put the desk in front of this window and more bookshelves on the left side.

Bathroom 1 - this one is downstairs by the masterbedroom.

Bathroom 2 this one is upstairs with the other 3 bedrooms.

Spare bedroom

Spare bedroom 2
There's a third bedroom as well.  All 3 are on the top floor.  One we'll use as a real spare bedroom.  One will be for the workout stuff.  The other probably storage for now.

You really can't tell how big these rooms are in these photos.  We'll certainly post more once we get all moved in next month.  We didn't get any of the best part - the kitchen because that's where all the stuff for the inspection was.  The inspection went really well.  The house is in great shape.

Wounded Ramen

My poor puppy!

23!

I'm not sure if the addiction is to lip balms or shopping...  either way, 23 lip balms is probably 20 too many.  None of those 23 are mine.  I've got one little thing of good old Carmex.  

Turkey

It was very, very yummy.  It also gave us four little jars of broth to be used in the future, and, it also gave Nerdstar lots of yummy, yummy soup.  

Ramen Dog At Play

Yes, the house is a mess, it'll be cleaned today.  

The reason he keeps checking the floor is because the toy is filled with little strips of pepperoni that fall out!
