The New Place!

After a year of living in close quarters, Graham, Toby, and I decided it was time to move.  As Kelli would say, "now we live in the country" and when we need groceries or anything else we have to "go in to town" but we love it!  It's so nice that 2 people can stand in the kitchen without their rear ends touching, and no more standing outside when Toby has to go to the bathroom.  Now we have a backyard, and I reminded Toby each day the month before that he was getting a backyard...and he loves it!  So, as soon as I got back from Cheer Camp, we started packing up.  Some of our friends helped us move down the highway, and I spent the week getting settled in.  Now we have pictures and we hope you like the new place!

This is our guest bedroom/office.  The best part is the extra closet for storage!  Come visit us anytime!

This is Kelli's room.  She has it decorated so well!  Kelli shares a bathroom with the guest room, so pretty much she has her own bathroom!

This is the view of the living room looking from the hallway that leads to the guest bedroom and Kelli's room.  We got our new couches, and I splurged on some pillows from Pier One Imports.  Graham actually picked out our rug and got a great deal!  All of the floors are stained/scored concrete except in the bedrooms. The arched window is where the kitchen is, and the master bedroom is off of dining area.

This is the view of the living room from the dining area.  It's about 8 times bigger than our old living room, so it feels like the TV is a mile away!  There is tons of room for Toby to run around and we love it!

These are pictures of our kitchen!  There are about 10 more cabinets in this kitchen than at our last place, so we are finally being able to use all of our wedding gifts!  The door under the "M" leads to our laundry room and beyond that is our garage.  It is so nice to have a garage with storage as well!

This is the dining area and the door with the glass leads to our back yard.

The master bedroom with our new King bed!  This is definitely our best purchase for our new home!

The master bathroom which has TWO closets!  This one is Graham's and the one below is mine.  Another great invention that we invested in is a curved curtain rod.  Everyone should have one!

Above and below are the back yard.  Stone patio we built after we moved in to expand our patio area.  Let me tell you this was quite the job!  We desperately need to landscape, but we could only do some much at once.  I'll post updated pictures once we get that done. 

Toby loves his new space.  We've thrown at least 5 balls over the fence into the next door neighbor's yard, and I think they're taking a one month vacation or something because they haven't been home for us to get them back.  Good thing we've got quite a collection of racquetballs to keep Toby busy!
