Pictoral Tour!


Now that we have had a home the hospitality merry-go-round has already begun. So far both sets of parents and our friend Jeff have come to visit. Scott's brother and sister are coming next week and ANNE SUE! is coming for the month of September. And it took us a few weeks to get our home furnishings in order, craigslist and garage-sale shoppers that we are! (Charlotte is seriously amazing for that). Without further ado...a tour...


We live in a cute little ranch in a decent enough neighborhood. Coming from Vancouver, it is a bit of a stretch to call it a neighborhood - no sidewalks, nothing within walking distance, etc. - but it isn't really a development, so that's good.

We'd wanted some land so we could "practice" farming, but alas, nothing affordable within reasonable distance of work could be found. But we do have a nice deck and so far the bugs aren't too bad. Notice the garage-sale-score! smoker next to the rusted-out-inside-but-free-on-craigslist gas grill.

Inside the front door we have the living room...


And to your left, the "formal dining" area...


And last but not least, the kitchen...




While it wasn't what we were looking for originally, we are very happy with how it turned out!
