The View

I am so excited that we had a White Christmas! Boise hasn't had this much snow in more than ten years. It's beautiful!

While it cannot be seen here, there is a dock on the side of the lake where we often see fishermen. I'm not sure what they catch, but it seems like a great way to pass an afternoon. :) This summer we're going to buy a couple of poles and spend a little time fishing!

This is the best part about our new home... the view! We can sit on our patio and watch ducks and beavers on the lake. Across the lake is the Greenbelt, a wonderful bike and walking path that is maintained for 20-some miles. We have easy access to the Greenbelt, and use it regularly when it's not covered in snow. :)

The Apartment

The kitchen, and walk-in pantry through the doorway. The washer and dryer are also in the pantry area, but I now have 8' or so of pantry, 4 shelves high... it's fabulous!

The dining room. I know, there is no table. We're working on that part... I want a tall, square table in a medium-to-dark wood, with a matching hutch. We're saving our pennies.

The entertainment center area. The plan is to find an armoire to sit in the space that will hold everything... armoires big enough for the television are hard to find, though! For now, while it isn't the most aesthetically pleasing, it is functional.

The living room

This is our new home! Although the space is layed out differently, we actually have just a touch more square footage than we did before, and quite a bit more storage space. Areas like bedrooms and bathrooms look pretty much the same from house to house, so those are not included. :) However, these are the interior living spaces that we enjoy!

This is the only family picture we actually have... I'll have to fix that very soon! :)

Apparently not everyone was able to view our wedding pictures that were sent out shortly after our wedding. I've been pretty lax in sending them again, so here's the best of the best, for those who never saw them to begin with. :)

A whole new world...

This is a whole new world for me... I have entered the blogging world at the insistence of my sister, so I hope she's thrilled! :) As we are not really picture people, I'll have to work on taking some pictures so we can add more recent photos to the blog. For now, suffice it to say that creating the blog is my Christmas project, and I hope I can keep up with it!
