Hows my little house?

As previously stated Laura and I are now into our new home! so here are some much requested photos for all of you fine folk (and rich).

This is the outside of our little bungalow. Someday Laura and I will have a picture of ourselves in front of it, maybe a (apple?) tree planted somewhere too.

This one is taken from the living room, Laura is coming out of the Kitchen, to the right is the bathroom and the left is the 2nd bed room, many would call this the guest room but I don't like calling it that so eventually it may be called the stripe room or something. That big red one is the dining room to be. Furniture not in yet(can you tell?).

Here is our stack of boxes, in the dining room!

This is our bedroom, there is absolutley no good angle to photograph it all. How do you like that blue?

This is the elusive living room over by the DVD rack is where our bedroom hides. check out our awesome lamp.

Here is our very green (and clean) Kitchen. Note the dishwasher...awesome!

The bathroom looks like a bathroom and is painted a gross yellow which we are planning on changing soon.

Certain cool things about the little village of Oakwood I've found and loved are that at 9 PM it is rare to hear a peep from some sort of human or human made object, the cicadas buzz and the crickets cheep its great. Another thing that may or may not be great is, our village is about as large as Mounds View High, which is funny to me anyway. The greatest of all is the Rent! NONE! Our mortgage is $2 more expensive than what Laura was paying for her ROOM in Madison giving us a hell of a deal in housing expenses. We are about 25 Min from Champagne (where UofI is located) where we do some good shopping and eat some great eats. But from other big cities we are: Indianapolis, a bit over 1 hr; Chicago, 2 hrs; Columbus, 3ish; Louisville, 3.5 hrs; St Louis, 4 hrs; Madison, 4.5 hrs; St Paul, 9 hrs =(

I miss you and orla does too.
