We're Moving!

It's been a busy year - I donated bone marrow, ran a marathon, we got engaged, trained for Ironman Wisconsin and are planning a wedding. Might as well take on another project, right? I'm pleased to share that this weekend, we're moving on, up and out.

Our current home has served us well, but the time has come to move on. The kids are getting older and have more activities and playdates, and need more privacy and room. We've found a house closer to their school with more space, indoors and out. There are trees for climbing and a cul-de-sac for biking. There's a park for swinging and lots of quiet, traffic-free streets for strolling with poley. There's a loft for my office (I'll be above ground!) and the walk-in closet of my dreams. We have a deck for entertaining, a deep-pour basement for working out and so much storage I might have to just buy more decorations.

We actually closed on the property last week, and have spent the past week moving and renovating. A crew has been hard at work painting and upgrading the doors throughout.

My live-in handyman has also started working his magic on the place: 

 

So here's to a new beginning in a new location. We're looking forward to making this our own, sharing our projects and tips, and filling this place up with memories together.
