More pics of the house. I took these pictures of the outside right before we had a snow storm. We got about 10" in one day! Holy Crap! It's super cold here. Today it was about 16..... I have been layering like crazy just trying to stay warm.

We finally finished the kitchen!!!! I am so excited to show you guys. We worked so hard on it, but it all was worth it. It took about 2 1/2 weeks to complete after work and on the weekends. As you can see we re-did the countertops, pulled out the white appliances, tiled the backsplash, sanded, primed & painted the cabinets, and painted the walls. Oh, we also built a breakfast bar! I am super happy with the way it turned out. I still need to accessorize but at least I can cook. It was hard not being able to cook, so we ate a ton of cereal and things that just needed to be warmed up. What do you think??

Ok ok! Sorry that I haven't written for so long. The past week has been absolutely crazy. We closed on the house on the 26th and it has been work, work, work ever since. The move went amazing. The Apple Valley Ward helped us move everything out of our apartment. It went so fast. I served everyone chocolate milk and doughnuts, yum, yum! Then we headed off to Maple Grove where our new ward helped us move everything in. I ordered some pizza for them.... some payment huh? Oh, and someone brought us dinner and someone else left us a plant on the doorstep. Nice huh? They were all great and we couldn't have done it without them. We are so blessed and so excited to finally be in a house. We started unpacking and it was like Christmas because I forgot about a ton of things that we have. I haven't a lot of it for like 6 months because we didn't unpack everything until now. We decided to repaint all of the cabinets in the kitchen. Holy crap!! What a big job! They were a very dark brown color and looked out-dated. So we have been sanding , priming, painting, and painting some more for the past week. They are almost all done! They look completely different. We painted them an off-white bone color and we are going to antique them. We're also planning on redoing the backsplash and countertops. We found some rad deals on Craigslist and got all black appliances. I love good deals. We also painted the master bedroom teal. My fav! I love the way it turned out. Halloween went fast since it was the day after moving day and all. It was so fun to hand out candy to all of the cute little kiddies. Everything is still a huge mess but I will try and take some pictures this weekend and post them.
