Our House

For those of you who haven't heard yet, we are officially new home owners. Long story short, Steph saw a house listed on Craigslist, we called, looked at it, and bought it. As we have never done this before, we have nothing to judge it by, but it seemed like a fairly simple process. We had previously talked to the bank (First Federal) to find out what our monthly payments would be and our price range, so basically we were pre-approved. We made the owners an offer, they countered and we settled on that counter offer. We feel like we got a good deal on the house, I know we got a killer interest rate on our mortgage, and we LOVE the house.
Not a real good picture of the house, but we'll get some better ones. Red brick, red bar tile roof, mature landscaping including a small pond in the back yard. YEAH US!

This is a view from the front door looking into the living room. Kinda messy, I know, but we just moved in and are still unpacking and placing.

Catching Up

So, we haven't updated for a while, so I think it's about time. Back in February, for Valentines Day, we went to Sun Valley. We had a great time, and we stayed in a little bed-n-breakfast. The next morning, we go out to the car to leave...
yup, that's a fox - we managed to get a picture of him as he stopped to look at us one more time before over the snow bank. This was in the MIDDLE OF TOWN!! I guess it's not really uncommon up there, but I don't ever remember seeing one that close unless I was driving and it was running by.


So, skipping forward to about three weeks ago, Steph and I were driving along by the old K-Mart (for those of you who know where that is) and this is what we saw at the new Maverick.

The Oscar Meyer Weiner Mobile!! We couldn't resist taking a picture of it!
