Pictures of our new house

Hi everyone, I survived an entire week waiting to have the internet set up at our house, can you believe that?!?! It was actually kind of refreshing and I am certain that I got ALOT more done around the house than I would have if I would have had the computer as a distraction. I am willing to bet that my productivity level will decrease dramatically now that I have the internet to suck all of my time from me.

After 4 months of living in limbo with extended family, we are LOVING having a house to ourselves again and all of our stuff out of storage. That being said, I do want my sister and mother in law to know how much we REALLY APPRECIATE you guys opening your homes to us. I am sure it wasnt always easy having us around. We really enjoyed all of the quality time we were able to spend with everyone and looking back now I wish we could have spent more time doing things together.

Alot of you have been asking me to post pictures of the house so here they are...Obviously some were taken before we moved the furniture in

The Outside

The Entry way

The "formal" living room (or as I like to call it, The "Wasted Space"
You walk from the "living room" into the Great Room. The double doors off the great room are an "Extra room". It is going to be Troy's room to do with whatever he wants.

Troy's room

The opposite side of the great room is the kitchen and dining area

The great room also has a built in desk area that I LOVE

The guest bedroom is located to the right of the front door entry way. It isnt much to look at yet, but it is ready for visitors!! Jenni, I even have your bottled water and magazines as you requested! :)

There is Guest bathroom that attaches the Guest bedroom to the Great room

The first bedroom you run into upstairs is Stockton's room. We have his furniture in, but havent hung anything up yet.

The Guest/Kids bathroom

Next is the Master "suite". It really is huge.

Finally, we come to the bonus room that has the 4th bedroom attached to it. The Bonus room is going to be the play room and the bedroom is going to be my "hobby" room.

My "hobby" room (I guess that means I need to find some hobbies. Suggestions, anyone? I think I need to start putting my sewing machine to good use)

I could go on and on about everything I love about the house, and my list of things that I want to do in the house is endless, but all I will say is how lucky we are to be able to afford such a beautiful home. It is more house than me and Troy ever dreamed we would have. I can't believe the drastic difference in the housing market between Idaho and Utah. The cost of living in Idaho definately makes it possible for me to stay at home and spend time with my babies while Troy enjoys going to work at a job he loves. We really couldnt be luckier. Well, I guess I will be able to say that once my family follows us here!
