Starting to Feel Like Home...

We FINALLY closed last Wednesday and spent the later half of the week and weekend getting things in order.  Greg, Matt and Jason got storage cleaned out Wednesday night and the unpacking began.  Last night was the first time we sat down on the couch to watch tv since Wednesday! The new house is starting to feel like home! 

I must say it is quite nice having a place to call home again, and having my own space again is the absolute best feeling ever!  My dad spent a few hours Saturday morning hanging the heavy things on the walls, while I waited for Direct TV and Time Warner to do their thing! Anyway, here are a few photos!

I absolutely love the kitchen and how the mackenzie child's stuff compliments it so nicely!  I am also in love with the living room as well and how "homey" it feels! I could sit on the couch and cuddle up with the hubby or dogs, watch tv or read a book there all day everyday!

I'm also super pleased with my new bedding that I bought.  I was a little nervous that Greg wouldn't like it, but he actually said he likes that it offers a little bit of color, rather than just neutral tones like we are used to!

Anyway, it's time to get back to work! I will post more pics once we are finally settled in!!!!

Finally.....

FINALLY closing on the new house Wednesday October 19, 2011 @ 10am.  It's only been a LONG 3 and a half months!!!!!!!!!!!! Will post pics of it once we are settled in. :)

Perfect Fall Weekend

Last week started with a trip to the airport to pick up my sister, Ashley!! So excited to have her home for a few days, even if we weren't moving.  We started her stay off on Wednesday with a girls trip to DSW, what girl doesn't love herself some new shoes?!?!  I of course bought 2 new pairs that I didn't really need, but HAD to have!

Thursday night we decided to all go to Ember Woodfire Grill in Livonia for a family dinner! My absolute favorite place to go!! The food is amazing, and delish.  It was Ash, Dad and Jared's first time there so we had to show them what the hype was all about! 

Friday night the "kids" went to the Haunted Hayride of Greater Rochester.  We had lots of fun and rather than scream at the ghouls that try to pull you off the ride we laughed the majority of the time! It was nice to hang out with my siblings for a few hours! That doesn't happen that often.  I must say that I did almost get pulled off the ride, and my sister and brother's friend Kyle had to hold me back from the ghouls!

Saturday was the annual Custom Brewcrafters Festival of Ales that my sister and my brother in law's girlfriend Courtney and I went to.  It was nice to attend the local event, but didn't really like any of the custom brews other than the Strawberry Blonde and Apricot!  Many of the brews were too "skunky" and resulted in me taking a sip and dumping them out!  Saturday night Ashley visited the local bars to hang out with friends she doesn't get to see too often, and Courtney and I went up to the Doan Fall Tent Extravagazna to see the boys and go out afterwards.  I was totally scarred when Dancing Derek started to dance in the middle of the showroom at the Dodge store and convinced 2 women to dance with him, club style, and then the women started kissing..... We soon got the heck outta there and went to TC Hooligan's at the mall at Greece Ridge for some drinks and apps.  It was overall a fun night!

Sunday was spent with mom and Ash shopping at the Galleria Mall in Buffalo! It's our annual fall trip out there to start the Christmas Holiday shopping! Scary to think we are so close to Christmas again! Where did the last year go?  Dad made his signature lobster mac and cheese for dinner and we had some friends over to end out the weekend on a great note!  Ash goes back home to GA Tuesday morning! :(

And lastly, we better be closing/moving this weekend!!!!!! Or else, the attorney's will see the bad side of Jamie!!! :)
