Quick construction and weekend update! Our new house was finished and we closed and moved in about 7 weeks ago. It's been a whirlwind of activity since then ... we've been taking pictures - but haven't had a chance to post them.
This weekend the house had an initiation of sorts ... we were one of three houses in a progressive dinner for our church's student ministry. At some point Saturday morning - we thought we must have been smoking crack to volunteer to have 45 kids under 17 and all the accompanying adults in our brand new house on our brand new carpet and wood floors - eating sticky gooey desserts too! - but then we realized - hey - we can always rent a carpet cleaner on Monday ;) It's not a big deal!
It's a great time to have a party at the house - because we don't have much furniture on the first floor yet :) We borrowed some tall bar-height tables from the church - and had them all over the first floor of the house. The theme of the night was "Black and White" - attire and decor was to be black/white. It was a fun evening -- all the girls were decked out in super cute dresses and some of the guys even had on jackets and ties! I think they enjoyed getting dressed up - and some of them had never done a progressive dinner before - so it was a new experience for them!
Here's a few pics from our house -- more from our house and the other two houses in the link at the bottom.

You are a better woman than I.
It looks like you had a blast, and the house looks gorgeous.
