Still here :)

Yeah, so it's been awhile since I blogged. I missed all of November. That's what happens when you move :) When I wasn't at work, I was working on the house. I bought an area rug for the living room, painted my bedroom (with my dad's help), got the bedroom recarpeted, finally moved out of my guest bedroom and into my bedroom, emptied my storage unit (saving money, woo hoo!), started setting up my basement (office area and entertainment area), gave my outdated blue-tiled bathroom a "spa" makeover (thanks to Dollar Tree and Target), and bought a lot of little random things that I didn't know I needed until I needed them :)
   
I had decided early on that I wouldn't even bother having a housewarming party until after the holidays, because this time of year gets a little crazy. But some people just couldn't wait... so I've had a lot of visitors over the past few weeks: Becky & John, Erin, Natalie & Gabe, Kyle, Doug & Jill, Tammy & Mark (who also helped me move things out of my storage unit!), Maria, Kaitlyn, and Miriam. Yesterday Sam and her dad got to see the house. I had asked Deacon Warner a few weeks ago if he would come bless my new home, and of course he said yes (first house blessing for him!). 
   
My house is finally starting to feel like a home!
