And now for something completely different...




Okay... This is it! Our new house! As most of you know- we have been living in Montpelier for a few weeks now and are just getting settled into our new casa. We looked and looked for the two months that we were living in Garden City for a place to move to... and it was a joke!! The homes up here are really old and run down for the most part. When we started our little house hunt we ran into some of the scariest things! One house even had a headstone in it's front yard. Yeah... you read that right- a headstone. Another one smelled like cat pee and another looked like it was going to fall in on itself. The other homes that weren't dumps were way out of our price range. We were starting to think that we were going to end up living in the cabin forever. But then... our realtor found us this little gem! The people that owned it had bought it and done a ton of renovations to it. I found a picture of it in its original state- and I almost didn't recognize it.


Anyway- while the family had done a lot to it- thier choice in paint left a lot to be desired. So we had a painting party to cover up the yellow in the living room, the brown in the hall and master bedroom, the red and yellow in Ty's room and the pink in the extra upstairs bedroom. I guess it just goes to show that one man's castle is another man's nightmare.


Things are now pretty well put together- and now we've just been trying to get pictures hung and furniture in the right place. I'll upload some more pictures as we take them. But now you are all up to date!! Yay!!

It is about time!! I am so excited that you are back to the world. That wasn't near enough pictures of the old paint job. I want to see all the rooms and the new version! I am so excited for you and your little family. What a grown up, exciting adventure. I think of you often and your new life in this fun little town.
