Well we are getting settled into our cute new house in Kansas City.
We've been here almost three weeks, and I am happy to say, we are nearly
moved in!! John is about to finish up his second week of classes at
IHOPU, and I am at home, unpacking and taking naps (sounds a little
unfair, doesn't it?) We'll both be looking for jobs here shortly, but
we've enjoyed the time to get acquainted with our neighborhood and the
surrounding area. So just so you will all be happy that you're happily
settled in your own houses (or apartments), I will show you the mess and
the order we've had at 322 Chelsea. Get ready for lots of pics.
Finally got the truck unloaded!
We had dinner on our front porch, since the inside of the house looked like this:
Our first COSTCO run
The Kitchen:

After
Cute aprons
First item in the fridge: Grandma's jam!
The pantry, full of COSTCO items
Nikki and me, and books, books, books
My tea sets
And another bookshelf
The Dining Room:
Before
After
The first item on the wall: Nikki's cross-stitch
Here's the bright lime green couch I found for cheap on Craigslist.
The office:
Before
During
After
The Living Room:
The Bedroom:
Before
After. It felt so official to go buy our first mattress. We went to a furniture store and had lots of fun laying down on all the beds, analyzing their comfort level. We were so excited to get Grandma's wedding quilt back out.
Our little prayer corner
Baby's room: it's not finished yet, but we've got 'til March.
First load of laundry-- a HUGE upgrade from the bathtub! Gotta love Craigslist.
Our scary basement, full of boxes, the new laundry machines, and the cave.
Congratulations!! You've seen the Grand Tour of the House. Thanks for joining us!!
