So many changes

We have been here for one week and the house already looks so different. We have fully removed the wallpaper in the dining and living room. As of one hour ago Kyle finished priming both rooms as well. It is fun to see things coming together already!

Our first project is underway. The wallpaper is down and the priming has begun.

We made a temporary living room in our dining room. It will be nice to have a place to sit and relax after a long day of work.

Here is the master bedroom, finally organized!

A First Glance

upstairs bathroom, shower to the right.

tearing up the carpet in the living room and the dining room!

didn't I warn you about the 70's kitchen? its so retro!

dining room... no longer has the ugly carpet!

living room, picture taken from in the front entry, also.. carpet less. More pictures to come when things are in order.

Moving day!

We officially signed the papers and are now homeowners!! RoseAnn and I spent the day yesterday cleaning the kitchen and unpacking some boxes. Today will be a lot of work, but we are so excited to get into our own space! Pictures to come soon....(prepare yourself for a 70's kitchen!!)

MA to MI for the weekend

We had a great visit back to MI for a short weekend (thanks to the East Coast celebrating Columbus Day). It was nice to see those we got a chance to see, and would have wished to see many more friends and family.
I also had a chance to compete in the Alumni Swim and Dive meet. It was a blast to see my old team mates, and embarrass myself thinking that I could still dive. Needless to say, my body is still sore from Saturday!
We hit up some traditional GR sites, including the John Ball Zoo! Believe it or not, it was Kyle's first visit and he was quite impressed.

On our way back to MA we got some very good news: Jenny (my cousin) had her baby last night. His name is Macen Los White and is very healthy. We can't wait to see the little guy this winter!

Home sweet (almost) home

Here is our new residence on October 15!
