Long Awaited Pictures

We close on the 6th, she has 2 days to move, so we will be moved in on the 9th. As to weather or not the movers will be here on the 9th or the 15th, well we are still in negotiations.
We are very much out in the country. But we are right near the freeway and a huge new shopping center is being built about a mile from us. There are 2 HUGE wards in the area, and it is only about 5 miles to the building. We really feel like we have been drawn to this area and are going to like living here very much.
Front viewStanding at the garage, looking down to the street. Pretty sweet that we have our own little lane hu?Another view of the front, on the left.To the right, this is the only level area of land. And the largest spot to mow. Perfect place to park Mom and Dads RV when they come to visit. Back side of the house, 2 decks. In a year or 2 I want to enclose them and make a sun room addition to the house to be used as the dining room. Oh and the little guy is the inspector.Back yard, the whole lot is just under an acre and it is all wooded. I am expecting we will have some fun wildlife. There are lots of retaining walls and existing landscaping too.To the left of the Garage in the basement is a big storage room. This will be a storage/craft room. It has doors into the garage, as well as into the playroom. Currently this room is the lady's workout room/shrine to Racing/the Braves. We will be using it as a play room and we will also have our elliptical and a couch down there. The basement is just the storage, playroom and garage.
Other side of the playroom. The florescent green will be one of the first things to get painted.
Front of house bedroom, will be the guest bedroom/office/sewing room.

Back of house bedroom, girls bedroom. The orange will be painted light purple before they move in.
Master bedroom, over garage. Small walk in closet and big 2nd bathroom.
Master Bath. Isn't anything special other than it has a 2nd bath so we don't have to share with the girls. It is L shaped.

Video of the front room. Sorry for the camera tricks and having to stand on your head. Not quite sure what was going on there.




Video of the kitchen. I will be changing the curtains, way to busy for my taste. It is about the same size as our kitchen in Utah was. But it has more cupboard space and a pantry thingie. Also the walls are burgundy not the orangy red that is pictured.


The laundry is in the upstairs hallway. We are excited to move in. It is a very nice house, not our dream house, but it is nice and suits our needs all the same.
