Some of you may know that we've been involved in a very long and drawn out house closing process. Well we will finally be closing on the 9th! The house was just shy of foreclosure which makes all negotiations take twice as long since the sellers bank also had to be involved in everything, and apparently they make decisions by committee. If you're wondering if we need anything to help fill up our new home you'll find "the list" after all the pictures. If you're thinking gee I sure wish I had a home improvement project for the 10-11th you can come help with some of ours. If you're thinking man I'd do just about anything for some free pizza, you're in luck again because that's what you'll get if you help us move on the 17th.

The back
you can just see the edge of the basket ball court (hopefully to be destroyed and replaced by a veggie garden at some point in the future) Moira is modeling the deck and gazebo. The house has two sliders situated about 4ft apart. I guess one just wasn't enough?

living room. The fire place appears to have never had a fire in it. Unfortunatly the place has electric forced air heat so we hope to replace that with gas once we have more $$ and to supplement that with either a stove insert in the fireplace or adding an addtional wood stove in the large family room which you'll see in a bit.
The family room. While it doesn't look that big in the picture this room is quite large and will house all of Moira's toys.
The garage has been conveted into two rooms. Their mostly finished, but there's no heat in this part of the house.
The kitchen is in between the dining room and the family room. We've decided to put the dining room table in the dining area rather than the dining room because we don't think we'll ever use it if it's relegated to its own room. Of course that leaves us with a silly empty room right off the living room, but we'll figure something out.

Nice! I've been eagerly awaiting pictures of the new place. Of course, the real fun will be seeing it in person. Count us in for sure on the free pizza! I like olives & mushrooms. :)
Congratulations! I'd like to say that we'll be present for the activities but we are moving as well! Stay tuned for a blog with photos and such!
How's your pregnancy going? I'm interested in how far along and when is your due date and such. Do you know the gender? If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail or call me.
