Home Sweet Home






We finally got to move into our new house on last Friday, the coldest day of this winter. We spent the weekend and much of this past week settling in and unpacking. We are happy to say we have most of it unpacked and put away. We now are waiting on our new furniture to be delivered to complete some of the rooms. We of course have a couple of minor things to be finished and some concrete, landscape, and outside painting to be finished once spring arrives.


We are so excited to be in our new house and see it all come together like we imagined. It is really nice to have our own space. It was definitely interesting in the rental and we thank Kristen and Cory for letting us stay with them. Berkley was a little depressed last weekend with the all of the commotion of boxes and furniture but she now is really enjoying the house. She loves all the light in the house (especially since we have no curtains right now) and we find her frequently laying in the sunny spots. She has found if she sits on the front steps that she can see out the glass on the front door. She also discovered the deck this week and how if she goes down the steps off the deck, she ends up in the back yard. We have struggled with muddy paws though. We can't wait for grass! Here are a couple of Berkley pictures from this week.

Homeless for the New Year.....

I apologize for not posting any new posts lately. Our computer died before Christmas and I have not had to opportunity to upload any new pictures. I know we had told lots of you we were moving before the first of the year but that did not happen. We did however have to move out of our rental house because someone was ready to move into it at the first of year. So that leaves us homeless until the house is finished. The house is behind schedule due to our trim guys. I know this sounds familiar, yes they were the ones putting us behind initially and once again we are waiting for them. To get our certificate of occupancy, the spindles have to be done on the stairs. The trim guys are the ones responsible for this spindles. So here we sit waiting on them again. The good news is that all the other minor things are getting done before we move in because there is plenty of time to finish them why we wait on the trim guys. Hopefully the house will be done is a week or so. Until then we are staying with Kristen and when we wear out our welcome their we maybe moving onto the Eder house. I will try to get some updated pictures posted soon because has been a lot of things happening in the past couple of weeks.
