Pictures...Finally!

I know I have been incredibly cruel to those of you who would like to see what our new house is like. There has been so much work to do. And I didn't want to put pictures up until I was happy with where things were at.

Dave thinks I am afraid you all won't like the house. Even worse he says that I must have some weird issue of being ashamed of it. Like I built it all up to sound awesome and it really isn't. I tell him he is crazy. I LOVE my house! But I guess the argument will continue until I finally post pictures.

We still have so many projects that we want to conquer / finish in the house. But now with the arrival of the greatest weather ever in a February we have shifted gears to working outdoors.

Everyday I walk through the house and sigh to myself with pure "house happiness". I finally have the kind of home I've always dreamed about settling down in. I must admit, I never thought I would chose a "ski lodge" style house, but it speaks to me. I feel so privileged to live in this little piece of heaven. So if you think it is totally weird and that we are crazy...that's OK. We'll figure everything out (like how to hang Christmas lights) with time. I can totally see myself as a Grandma in this house. Until we are 80 and can't maintain it and then like the owners before us start dreaming of moving to Arizona. (Hopefully never!!!)

Are you kidding me Jenn? I LOVE your house. I have always wanted my kids to have rooms with slanted ceilings. It just seems like a magical thing full of character to have a ceiling that isn't straight. Lucky, lucky kids!

WE LOVE IT!!! I'm coming to visit! It has an A-frame/mid-century modern vibe to it and that is TOTALLY up my alley. I just showed John the pics, and needles to say, we are both jealous ... BUT SUPER HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS!!!!
