We finally closed on our house on February 1st! We are really excited to get more settled and start planning the spring garden. Above is a picture of the mantle in our living room, which perfectly describes how we feel. It feels so nice to have some room to breathe and stretch out. Twister, Agnes, Frances and Grant love the new house. Agnes will run up the steps in the entryway and run down the steps in the back near the kitchen.
We had lots of help moving - thanks to Andrew, Ben, Chris, Katie, Matthew, Stephanie, Gerry, Karissa, Chris, Jill, Lily, Jason, Mom, Dad, Allison, and Susan. We could not have done without you.
The house didn't come with any appliances but thanks to the kindness of others, we didn't have to pay a dime. We found a working stove/oven on the side of the road for free in St. Louis which Tim's family brought to us. Then Papa and Ruth gave us a refrigerator, my mom and sister gave us their washer and dryer and we got a deep freezer off of CraigsList (which currently smells like death but we have hope).
We really don't want to just fill our house up with stuff (and you need to hold us to that) and are looking forward to sharing the space with others. We have plenty of space for visitors and welcome you anytime you are able to come!
Here are Tim and Merci cleaning up the kitchen for us to move in
