Our New Place...

Well we worked hard this weekend and got a lot done on the house. Parker cleaned out the garage and it looks great now! He also hung a lot of stuff on the walls which makes it feel more like home. I like the house, it feels quite big to me (it's over 2000 square feet) which is both good and bad. I feel like there's always something that needs to be cleaned! It's 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. On the main level is the family room, kitchen with eat in area, formal dining room, and a half bath. Downstairs is a fairly large rec room with a full bath (that's where our guests will stay). Upstairs is the laundry, all three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. I like our neighborhood, I've met a few of the neighbors who were very nice and it feels very safe here. I also like that it is about an 8 minute walk to the train station so the boys and I walk over to meet Parker when he gets off work every day. His commute is an hour on the train but he doesn't mind it, it gives him some quiet alone time in between work and home. He gets home about 6:30 in the evenings which isn't too bad.

Here are some pics...

This is the front of our townhome...

This is the formal dining room which we use as an office, it's pretty big and empty right now...Here's half of the rec room...Here's the other half of the rec room...Front entry, don't mind Brody's scary eyes, haha...Here's the kitchen, which seems bigger than it looks. The cabinets are nice but they go really high! I hate my dishwasher but other than that I like it...Eat in kitchen...Family room (notice Parker's new 50 inch plasma!)...Tyce's room...My least favorite part of the house, 34 stairs!!!Master vanity, I love the double sinks but hate not having drawers!I love our master bathroom, especially the big soaking tub!

I love our master bedroom, it's HUGE and has a walk in closet which we are loving. The one thing that has been hard is not having a backyard. We have a little grass patch out the door from the rec room but it's not fenced in so the boys can't just roam free like they were used to over the summer. Oh well, we knew we couldn't have it all! So good job Parker on finding us a place! =)
