There's No Place Like Home

Welcome! We decided that it is finally time to post pictures of the place we now call home. We finally got rid of all of the boxes and have furniture! Yay! I can't even remember how many carloads it took to get everything into this house. I don't think we will be moving for awhile.


Our living room. Susan gave us the chair when she was getting ready to move. Lucky for us, we found a cheap brand new couch that matched the chair perfectly at RC Willy. It was in the clearance section, and a guy from our ward who was working there gave us an even greater discount. It was meant to be.


A closer look at our new couch. The pillows came with it.


Todd's office and our laundry room. The little love seat on the right is what we were using for a couch for a while in our living room. We bought it for 35 bucks at a yard sale.


Our dining room


The tiny kitchen. There isn't very much counter space, but we are used to it. Our kitchen color is red. Everything is red. Even the microwave. We have had fun experimenting with new recipes and coming up with meals. We eat a lot of pasta.


We don't have a dishwasher, so we have fun washing dishes together after every meal. The scissors that are sitting on the counter are used primary for cutting off the tops of otter pops. We have almost consumed two entire boxes since we have been married.


Our bedroom. So cute.


The bathroom.


Todd brought me a flower on his way home from work the other day. He is so sweet! I love him more and more everyday. Even though we are pretty busy with work these days, it is always nice to come home and relax with each other. We are best friends, and Todd can always make me laugh.



We recently got to babysit Max while Aaron and Hauni went on a date. He is so cute! We had fun taking him to the park and playing with him in our house. He knows Todd's name, and calls me "Pretty" or "kiss", meaning "chris".



Mmmm...we love pizza! We made this chicken/pineapple one together. It was lots of fun!


Todd and I went to see my good friend Katherine Way in a play. She is such a great actress.


Ace in the new house. Poor kitty! He looks pretty worn out from the move and his recent health problems, but at least he is eating again. We love Ace.
