I've found my camera.. :)

Ok, many people have asked for pictures of the new house. Now keep in mind that there is still some mess -but for the most part, we have unpacked a lot of boxes, and are just trying to figure out where to put everything.... Here is the tour.

These walls face each other ... We just got a huge TV so Dan can watch the cars go around, and around, and around....

(note the cage in the right - watch for the animal that goes in there.)


This picture shows how the living room leads into the kitchen...







and then the kitchen is nice and open - with the dining room by that window.


















This is the master bath... If you can see the door in the mirror - we've already added that door for a linen closet in a better place.

Below you will find the master bedroom.... Not done decorating yet, but you get the idea.











This is one of the spare rooms * its the room that everything has been put in until we know what to do with it...








Below is the guest bath, (Sorry, couldn't figure out how to edit the picture, once I had imported it. ) and until today, it was the cat's bathroom. However, we built a cat run, so the cats can go outside, and their litter box can be outside as well.

This is the "office" If you notice in the window is the cat door that leads out to the cat run.

Our nice big backyard... Dan has a shed that he has already decided is in the wrong place and wants to move it to where I'm standing with the camera. The cat run is just off the patio to the right. We are currently romoving all those rocks and are hoping for grass to grow.












Our newest adoption - Jack. He's a Lab/Beagle mix. Looking at him now, we think he has a bit more lab than beagle.












And I had to add one of my baby for good measure. Just so she knows she is not left out.

Finally

OK, so this is the first time I've sat down to Blog since we moved. It's been a whirlwind week. We moved a couple of loads in last Wednesday, and Dan called at 8 in the morn saying he wanted to move then instead of Thurs afternoon like we had planned. Well, we got lucky and Uhaul had our truck for us, so he went and picked it up and we started moving. Ever helped us a great deal. By about 1 Dan went back for a second load of odds and ends, and cleaned up a bit, and we were basically out. I went back over there Friday morning to just do a double check before leaving the keys on the counter. Looking around, it was weird to see it so empty and knowing how much work I put into upgrading it. I really hope the new girl loves it as much as I did.

So the animals are having a hard time adjusting. Sadie just looks pitiful whenever I leave, and she desperately wants to go in the car and go "home" to where she recognizes. Scraps hides all day and then when he does come out he cries all night.. UGH.. Smudge is the only one that really doesn't care.

As soon as I get a chance, I will take pictures... so you can see how we are setting things up. the living room and the kitchen are basically done. We have a few more things in the bedroom to tidy up and then that's done. The spare rooms are where we put anything we didn't want to deal with yet...

We also got our appliances. It's amazing what new appliances do for the look of the kitchen. We broke down and got stainless steel, and yes, it's hard to keep fingerprints off of it. But boy, does it look nice.

Dan has already been playing in the backyard... watering, mowing, etc. He knows that there is lots to do, but seems to be willing..

OK, tomorrow is the 4th and we still havn't even decided what we are doing for fireworks... Last year we watched them from our upstairs bathroom window - now we don't have the upstairs, I wonder where fireworks will be. Guess Google will help out. :)
