2010 Word

Several fellow bloggers and scrapbookers talk about their goals and instead of making one big list, they use one word. Now, I like my lists and I'm keeping it there. But I think it's time for me to use a word to sum up my goals for 2010.

My word is:

PATIENCE.

Now if you know me at all, you know how hard it will be for me. I am not a patient person. I often claim that patience is not a virtue I hold. But really, I need to develop it more. And there are certain places and people I'm more patient with and really, I need to extend it. When I think of the word PATIENCE, I think calm and collected thoughts. I think how nice that would feel on a daily basis.

Now have a great New Year's Eve and a great 2010!

2010 Goals

Here's my list of 2010 goals.

1. Write a letter to a friend once a month. See previous post regarding this.

2. Lose weight by eating healthier, exercising more. My weight loss goal is 30 pounds.

3. Separate work and play better at home. I am good at leaving my job work at work, but I often don't make enough time to play at home. I always think, there's one more thing to clean, but I need to think, can it wait and be done with other jobs so you can play with Jeff and L?

4. Spend wisely.

5. Keep my blog updated. I love FB and Twitter, but I've been neglecting my blog. It's my digital scrapbook so when I do scrapbook, I have something to reference.


Okay. It will go up on my sidebar in a couple days and I'll give you periodic updates. Happy New Year!

2009 Goals: A Reflection

So I'm thinking, wow, a year has flown by. So much has happened it's hard to wrap my head around it. I am so grateful for all of the things that we've done this year, but I wanted to take a minute to see how I did with my 2009 goals.

1. Write a friend a letter once a month.
I sucked at this. And I really kicked myself hard because one of the people I was going to send letters to was Jeff's great Aunt Helen. She passed away this spring. So I'm keeping this one on the list and will work hard at keeping it.

2. Organize my "me" time.
For all that has happened this year, I think I've done a great job. I have scheduled reading, scrapping and computer time.

3. Remember birthdays
Doing much better. May be a few days late, but hey, I remember!

4. Use one new scrapbook tool a month
That didn't happen. I didn't scrapbook for 6 months while we were in the transition of moving and a couple months after we moved. But I am more motivated to try new things.

5. Eat healthier and quit overeating
Hmmm....some days yes, others no. I joined Weight Watchers online in November and lost 5 pounds in 3 weeks. I was so excited and then Christmas came with all of its goodies. And I am back addicted to sugar. So I need to cut it out soon.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with my goals. I will post my 2010 goals tomorrow.

So Christmas was again wonderful. I have tons of pictures and I'm sure I'd bore you, so I added a video of one of my favorite moments.

Mom and dad got into town on Tuesday night. Had a nice evening playing with all of my childhood toys. Got up Wednesday morning, exercised, shopped and ate dinner at PF Chang's. The weather forecast didn't look good, so my grandparents came up a day early.

Woke up Thursday morning...dry but WINDY! Exercised and got home in time to see the snow fall. My in-laws were here by 10am and Uncle Ken followed in at noon. The weather got ickier, but we stayed nice and warm in the house. We went out for our traditional Christmas eve. pizza (and had to knock on the door so they would let us in). The weather got worse...blowing snow made driving a little crazy. Our Christmas lights session lasted all of one house and we were back at home.

Christmas day was great. We had a little breakfast then got down to the present opening. I think everyone was happy with their gifts. I love mine. I received a Garmin watch (have so wanted forever!), an angel necklace, Big Top cupcake and Perfect Brownie. My parents gave me all new bakeware and new knives. Yeah! I must have been good this year.

The family has all left. I have the house all picked up. The laundry has been started and I need one more day to get caught up, but alas I have to work tomorrow. Oh well.

Merry Christmas everyone!

The (Un)Fantastic Flu

Starting Sunday at bedtime, I feel some chills. I think the house must be cold. But no...it was the evil flu. He came and visited for three days. Chills that couldn't be comforted with five blankets to sweating so hard I changed shirts twice in two hours. And when I thought I finally got over it, the vomiting started. Good god! Let me tell you (if you didn't already know), I am not a patient person. I am not a good patient. I cry and whine when I'm sick because I don't have time to do that. I was so sick, I missed two days of work. The last time I missed that much work for an illness? Dec. 31, 2002 when I had an 8mm kidney stone. Yeah, I don't get sick much.

But there were two good things that came out of this illness. The first, I woke up this morning feeling GREAT and got caught up at work and cleaned up the house this evening. I love the extra energy. The second...tomorrow's FRIDAY! Woohoo!

Dance class video

Here's a little clip of L's ballet class.

Dance Class

This week was parents week at L's dance class. She's in ballet and tap again. She's doing really well and I'm glad we kept her in dance. I took several pictures and videos (will try to upload those sometime). She loves tap the best. I think she'll be a clogger when she gets older.

L is the girl with the blue ponytail. She jumps so high!

The ballet portion: they run and jump over the puppy.

She was proud to have us watch her. Her teacher is very energetic and fun. There are 10 girls in her class. We also got to see the costume for spring recital. It is SO CUTE!! It's hot pink with a tutu. Very girly and conservative.

Christmas prep

The family is gone, I've shopped for my Black Friday items, so now it's time to move to Christmas. L and I spent yesterday afternoon on this craft (thanks to Betsy!). We took pine cones, put Modge Podge on the tips and glittered them. What a fun craft and what a mess! We both had lots of fun and laughs.

We also decorated the Christmas tree today. It didn't seem to take long to put up the tree. I did that part and the lights and L put on most of the ornaments (when she could peel herself away from iCarly). We had a good time discussing the ornaments and what was special about them.

Here are the two ornaments my mom made for us. For 15 years, she has been stitching ornaments for me every year. When Jeff and I got married, we'd each receive one. Now that L's here, she gets her own and Jeff and I get one together. I love the ballerina ornament she made for L.

This is my favorite ornament that my mom has made for me. It plays music and reminds me of my childhood.

More pictures to follow, I'm sure. We're trying to finish up the decorating this weekend.

Thanksgiving Day

This year, we hosted Thanksgiving. We usually go to my grandparents, but they needed a year of rest so I offered to cook. It was my first time cooking a turkey and I have to say it was very easy and the turkey was delicious! Grandma helped me with the gravy and stuffing and pies, while I made green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and cranberry salad.
Jeff did an excellent job of carving the turkey (another first). He saved the drumsticks for his leftovers.

Look at that spread. No one left the table hungry.

L was a little under the weather so it worked out well that we were home. She took an extra morning nap and that seemed to get her through the day.

Grandma and I headed to Michael's after the others left to do a little shopping. And I headed to bed relatively early to get ready for Black Friday. It was a wonderful Thanksgiving to have everyone over to see our new home.

Week in Review

This week was a busy one. Too busy to really take pictures, so I'll just chat.

Sunday: beautiful day. L and I went for a walk and then to two parks to play on the equipment. It was also a great day to watch some football and take a nap.

Monday: My 35th birthday! I took the day off. I slept in, then went to my Favorite scrapbook store, Scrapfunattic and shopped a little. The next errand? A mani and pedi. Ahhh....luxury. I had a nice piece of salmon and salad at Dillon's and grabbed a few items for supper. I scrapbooked and watched TV for a few hours, then fixed supper for 12. That evening, Trans Siberian Orchestra was playing in town. The show was awesome! My day was great!

Tuesday: I got the dreaded phone call from school. L had a temp. Bummer. So she hung out with me at the office.

Friday: we went to the South-Heights football game. South lost, but we still had a good time.

Saturday: L's friend has been over and Jeff and I have been chilling. Love those kind of weekends.

Halloween at Work

This year at work, the staff decided they wanted to do a group Halloween theme. So they decided to do Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I was asked to be Snow White. Kristine was the wicked witch. She was the best!! I loved her makeup. And the nose with the wart was perfect.
Here's a group picture. The girls did such a nice job of adding their own flair to the dwarf ears that everyone wore. It was a great day!

Halloween Night

I was so happy that Halloween fell on a Saturday. I wouldn't have to hurry up and finish work early to grab dinner and get L in costume.
Kurt, Kasey and Kam and T came over to our house. Our pre-trick or treating dinner: boo-gers and mummy dogs (as well as fries and apples). The kids were almost too excited to eat.
L got together with her friend Avery. They were both from the Disney line. Ave was Sleeping Beauty and L was Tinkerbell.
Kam and L let us take a few pictures before they went out. Kam was Thomas the Train engineer. He was great. L looked so beautiful in her costume!

The kids had a great time. They were out for two hours and went to 30 houses. L was so excited that she filled up her entire pumpkin bag. Jeff and Kurt had lots of stories about the houses. Kasey, T and I stayed home to hand out candy. There weren't many people in the beginning so we took the truck to the end of the court and handed out candy. At least we got rid of all of the candy!

It was a beautiful night. 60 degrees and not rainy. It was great!

Pumpkin Patch (part 1)

L's preschool class went to the pumpkin patch. Applejack's is a lot of fun. They had tons of equipment for the kids to play on, a pretend train (it's driven by a John Deere tractor), and a big wagon to go to pick out the pumpkins.

Unfortunately, it was very, very cold. After about two hours, L was spent. She was ready for a warm place and food.


L and her friend, Tucker, who she thinks she wants to marry (because I said she can't marry daddy).
They had a giant slide. I was impressed that L went down it without a fight.
They also had a petting zoo. All the animals were friendly (did I mention you could buy food for them also). The bunnies were so cute. Brings back childhood memories. All in all, it was a ton of fun!

Week in Review

This week:
*we went to the pumpkin patch with L's class. Cooold but fun. She had fun playing with the other kids. She didn't care much about the pumpkin (we'd been out in the cold too long).

*We hosted our first party in the new house. That night was so much fun!

*We ate out at my favorite restaurant, Mediterranean Grill. Love their fattoush and hummus! We also shopped at the mall. I decided to splurge and buy foundation when I was at Dillard's. Holy cow!!! I will never go back to drugstore foundation again. It is worth every penny. Bought new Sketcher's. Love them!! Black casual shoes.

*Went to TWO Target's to find the perfect pair of shoes for L's Halloween costume. She also got a pair of snow boots. She was a happy girl.

*Made trick or treat bags for L's class and made Halloween pretzels for the teachers. L had fun helping me decorate them.

I think that sums it up! This weekend will be busy. I'm dressing up for Halloween, L's got a Halloween party at school, trick or treating on Sat. Geez!! I need to schedule some time in to scrapbook, blog and exercise (yes, in that order).

Halloween Housewarming Party

Last night, we hosted our first party at the new house. It was successful. We gave tours to those who hadn't been over and Jeff and I relished in the fact that we'd accomplished quite a bit in a couple months.

L helped me cook quite a bit. We made a witch cake. We also fixed a "Cheesestein" and witch twice baked potatoes.

The kids had a great time playing inside and out. Brett and Casey played pool and hockey. L and K spent a lot of time outside running around and playing on the swingset. They were both wiped out when the party was over.
Jeff bought some very cool lanterns that you set on fire and they float. They were pretty cool although they didn't work quite like we'd thought.

The leftover Cheesestein. He was yummy. We also had onion dip, salad and subs from Jimmie John's.

It was a beautiful night. We had a great fire going while the boys smoked cigars. It was so nice to hang out with friends. Thanks all!

Okay. I am having YouTube difficulty (a bad case of UM). But this video rocks, especially when L comes back into the kitchen (about 1 minute into the video). This was originally great grandpa's arm rest for his casted arm, but L has other ideas.

Blog of the Week (and hopefully not month)

Whew. The month has flown by!! So what have we been up to? Unpacking, unpacking, unpacking. Too many boxes at our friend's house and the storage shed. Geez! On the upside most everything I still wanted so that was good. Gotta get it all done by Saturday. We're having a Halloween party and I don't want our guests to see a messy house.

Let's see...I also did something new! I hosted a Tupperware party. Yep, tupperware is still around. And surprisingly I had a great time. It helps when you get a bunch of free stuff too.

Jeff put a classy shed together in the backyard (pictures are coming). This way our bikes won't get wet and the mower fits nicely inside.

I just got back from Louisville, KY. I was at our annual Child Neurology conference. The meetings were really good. Some years it's all scientific and I am BORED, but this year was clinically based so it was interesting. There was a guy from the CDC there to discuss recommending H1N1 vaccine for all of our patients. It was very cold there, so I didn't venture outside.

L is a hoot. She was so happy on Wednesday that she was getting daddy all to herself for three days, but on Thursday things turned around and she missed me terribly! She was all lovey last night, but up to her goofy self today. She loves preschool, but cherishes Saturday and Sunday (when she doesn't have to go to school). She's ready for Halloween....me too.

Okay....that's my weekly post. My goal is to do this once a week and hopefully more.

Random Thoughts about Life

This was adapted (I mean stolen) from my HS and Facebook friend, Stephanie.  I laughed and laughed. Here goes...

More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase "Regards" again..

There is a great need for a sarcasm font.

How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".

How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?

I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!

While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it....thanks Mario Kart.

MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.

Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

Bad decisions make good stories.

Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do!

If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.

You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day.

Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection.

There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

"Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever.

I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Darnit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

I like all of the music in my I Tunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs.

Why is a school zone 15 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles.. .

As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.

Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.

I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it.

I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.

I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with liquor than with "Kay".

The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimate d that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself. There's nothing like being made to feel like a fat b@st@rd before dinner.

My favorite is the Ipod shuffle one...so true, especially when I am running a race. 

Which is your favorite?

L cracks me up!

So the other day, L and I are having a conversation (remember, she's 4 1/2 years old).  She says, "I was talking to Tucker (another 4 year old) on the playground today and I asked him if he loved me and he said, yes."  She continues, "so I guess that means he's my boyfriend.  And I guess I'll marry him since I have to marry one of my own".   I asked her if she's kissed him and she said "no".  I said, "good...don't".  

Now the background to this great conversation.  L has known Tucker for 3 years and his mom used to say he was the poster child for birth control. 

And she has to marry "one of her own" because I won't let her marry her dad.  Why, you ask?  Because daddy will be too old.  L replies, "is he going to die?".  Man, that girl doesn't miss a beat!

I am still Alive

Geez.  It's been almost a month since my last post.  Facebook and Twitter are bad for my blog.  But I love Facebook because I get to chat with my friends more often.  It's so nice to reconnect with high school friends. 

Life is good.  We're getting settled into the new house.  After a few intense hours of not knowing if our buyer was going to have financing, it all went through.  We had one less day to move, so there was a lot of shoving things into the garage.  We've moved most of that into the house and the rooms are taking shape.  My favorite room is the bedroom.  It's huge and cool at night.  There's enough room for the bed, a couch and coffee table and two dressers.  Love it!!!  No major surprises.  One little one...the outlets are all hooked up on one major circuit so anytime I use the hairdryer upstairs, the breaker pops!!  So the electrician has already been out.  

Reggie is really adjusting well.  She goes potty in her box (if you've read my blog, you know that is a wonderful accomplishment).  She's checking out all three floors.  Haley, on the other hand, is turning into a mess.  She potties in the house, acts odd at times so I took her to the vet.  Dr. Gary says she has dementia.  Great.  The good news (for her) is she doesn't know when she's naughty.  The bad news (for us) is we have to clean it up and there's no treatment to make her better.  So we are dealing with it for now and thinking about the future.  

L loves her new room.  And her playroom.  She's not sure about sharing the room when someone spends the night though.  She loves going outside in her Barbie jeep and drive in the court without worrying about cars.  Oh wait, that's Jeff and I that are happy about the last part.  We love the quietness of the area.  We've met all the neighbors.  They are so nice. 

Jeff's back to school and really enjoying it.  He's on a couple special committees which he enjoys.  He's also back to teaching junior college classes.  

This weekend, I am heading north to CROP A GANZA!!  Woo hoo!  I am finally going to be able to scrapbook some and get a massage.  Two things I really want to do.  Hopefully I can find the power cord to my laptop and then I will post from CAG.  

That's all for now.

Our New House

I know...you have all been patiently waiting for me to blog about our new house.  If all goes well, it will officially be ours in 64 hours (yes, I AM counting down).  I LOVE the house. We have nicknamed it the "Steeple" house because of the way the living beams look.  There are huge vaulted ceilings with a ceiling fan with a remote!  Don't you love the way the fireplace looks?!?  This room is going to be our game room...where the pool table will go.  There's a little wet bar in the corner.
The house has two floors and a finished basement.  Here's a view of the family room which is in the basement.  There are no windows so it will be excellent for movie watching.
A view from the staircase looking at the front door. 
A view from the bottom.  I L.O.V.E. the staircase.  It's all wood.  See the hexagon shape in the background?  It overlooks the living room.  Yep, awesome.  
Ahh...the kitchen.  My beautiful, beautiful kitchen.  With its stainless steel appliances and granite countertops.  And a beautiful counter and desk that you can't see.  I drooled over this one spot for at least 15 minutes before moving on.  LOVE iT!
So there's a glimpse of the house.  I'll blog more later.  Off to pack....

I know...

...that I suck at blogging. I know...you all want to see pictures of the new house. And I have some but I haven't had the energy to blog at the end of the day. But here's my brief update.

Our houses have both been appraised and are in final underwriting awaiting final approval. Hopefully we'll have them stamped for approval tomorrow.

Jeff and I went to KC last week for a couple days to see Chris Isaak. What a great concert. He was wonderful. We had fun checking out furniture stores and visiting with friends.

My mom and dad were in town last week. What a great time that was! We had a good visit, played with L a ton and got some shopping in. I was so happy they could see our new house while they were here. L showed them their "bedroom" and the bathroom she could share with them (although, she has said numerous times that it's not fair she'll have to share a bathroom with someone :))

So more news soon...

Minneapolis trip

I can't get the blogger picture to go, so this will just be a written post.

Minneapolis was a great place to visit. We left Friday afternoon and got to the hotel about midnight. We slept in every day until 10am. On Saturday, we went swimming (oh wait, we did that every day) at the hotel and then went downtown to watch the Twins play in the Metrodome. The Metrodome is a great place to watch a game. It's climate controlled and very spacious for being in a dome. This is their last year there. They are building an outdoor stadium. The Twins beat the Tigers. Then we walked downtown and looked around. We shopped at a two story Target. It's just like the regular Super Target but on two levels. Still a cool concept. We saw Hell's Kitchen (but didn't eat there).

On Sunday, we shopped for several hours at the Mall of America. Okay, so it's just a mall, but it was cool. They have all the regular shops plus a Swatch store. Love.That.Place. We ate dinner at Bubba Gump's. Yummy.

Monday, we messed around too long and took a wrong turn, so we didn't go to the zoo like we planned. Jeff's idea was to go to Water Park of America. We weren't sure if L was going to have fun, but it turned out to be a great idea. L loved it. She went down several of the slides and laughed and laughed. We had a wonderful time.

One of my favorite things we did was stop at Legoland. We built lots of things and bought some Legos. I love Legos and hope L will too.

Our last day, Tuesday, we shopped at IKEA. Love. That. Place. We dropped L off in the kids playland. Jeff and I checked out furniture and made our wish list. Then we drove south of the city and shopped at an outlet mall. We loved the fact that there's no sales tax on clothes. We drove home afterwards.

It was nice to get away for a few days. Back to work tomorrow.

Right Now.

Outside my window...I am seeing my beautiful blue pool and comfy chairs.

I am thinking...I wish someone would buy our house.

I am thankful for...the ability to be selling our home, good health and a great husband & daughter.

From the kitchen...turkey and avocado sandwiches, chips and salsa and pineapple chunks.

I am wearing...my red floral sundress.

I am creating...I can't tell you the last time I scrapbooked. I hope to work on Hawaii pictures.

I am going...to stretch before bed and lift weights.

I am reading...The Secret.

I am hoping...that we'll get to buy a new home soon.

I am hearing...L chomp on Doritos and The Great Muppet Caper is on the TV.

Around the house...the animals wait patiently for L to drop some food.

One of my favorite things...is to watch childhood movies. I love the Muppets.

A few plans for the weekend...sleep in, run, and swim in the pool.

A picture to share...

L's point of View

Every so often, L gets ahold of camera and takes pictures. She's getting pretty good at her accuracy.

California Trip

We all went to Anaheim last week. We had a great time. The weather was beautiful. We went to celebrate Jeff's great aunt Helen's life. One of the things we did was let butterflies go (Chris had nursed these little guys from caterpillars to butterflies).

Uncle Steve was showing L how to open her box to let the butterfly go. They were good buddies (not a surprise).

One night we headed to the GardenWalk. We went there a couple nights. We ate at Bubba Gump's. It was delicious. L ate all of her shrimp plus half of Jeff's. She was very happy to meet the Shrimp guy. I think he went on break right when we got there and we had to tell her he had to go potty. I don't think she bought it! We stayed at the Marriott. And we swam every day. L LOVED the pool. She would wake up in the morning and the first words, "can we go swim?" We had only been at the hotel for 10 minutes before we had to go downstairs to swim. She is so funny...we have a pool at home and she doesn't ask that often to go swimming.

Unfortunately, the Disneyland pictures are on the SLR and Jeff has the card reader, so you'll have to wait until the weekend to see those pics.

Singing in the Shower

L has been taking showers by herself. And she does a good job. She's able to wash herself and entertain herself for awhile while I do little tasks. She loves to sing...I'm glad, but I think I might need to get her a voice coach :).

Two Cuties

Kitty loves Sunshine

Our House

...is finally on the market!! It looks great (IMO) and we're very happy with that. And no, I don't want to stay here. It still doesn't have a basement.

Here's our kitchen looking into the laundry room. I don't have any "before" pictures handy, so you'll know how much of a difference it looks if you've seen my house before.
Another view of the kitchen. New kitchen tile, new paint on the walls and cabinets.

The "game room" now the "den". Didn't know there were bookshelves and a fireplace? Don't feel bad, we hear that all the time.

View from the end of the living room. Notice the new carpet. Everyone loves that.

Now all we need is one person to buy this home.
