So this is move number 4 for me since I got married. Eliot and I finally got to move into a house that we can call our own for at least the next year. It is the house we had our Boise wedding reception at. Todd, Eliot's brother, owns it but asked if we wanted to live here for a while so that it can gain more equity before selling. Of course Eliot and I were all for it. It is a mansion and needless to say, we do not have enough stuff to even fill half of it. Here are some pictures. I will post some more with Christmas decorations as well as soon as I have some. This first one is our entrance way with the grand staircase.
Here is our new couch in the living room - one of the only pieces of furniture that is actually ours (most everything was left except for couch and bed mattress):
This is the fireplace in the living room just across from the couch:
The awesome kitchen (my favorite followed by an office that I have always wanted! :))
And this is the master bedroom! It includes a two sided fireplace that connects to the bathroom, a king size bed, a great bathroom with a two in one shower and a walk in closet! :)
I think these pics give you a good idea of where we are living. We have an entier upstairs floor that we never use because it simply is too big - 3 bedrooms are waiting for visitors! :) Well, actually 2 because one of them was transformed into a recording studio for Eliot and his friend Steve. One day Eliot will produce a new CD with his music.
"Do not try to control your children. Instead, listen to them, help them to learn the gospel, inspire them, and lead them toward eternal life. You are God's agents in the care of children He has entrusted to you. Let His divine influence remain in your hearts as you teach and persuade." (Russell M. Nelson) "Kindererziehung ist ein Beruf, wo man Zeit zu verlieren verstehen muß, um Zeit zu gewinnen." [Jean-Jacques Rousseau]
"If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings." [Brian Tracy]
Eliot and I met miraculously in Vienna, Austria while he was on a sight-seeing trip through Europe after finishing his Masters in Spain.
Love struck, we got married, I packed my bags and after spending 8 months in the heat of Arizona's sun we moved back to Boise, ID in 2007 to enjoy the four seasons we missed in AZ.
We are living life to the fullest, enjoying our first little baby boy and every second with him!! In January of 2009 we headed back to Vienna for a PhD program that unfortunately didn't turn out. Now we are back in Boise Idaho, just had our second baby - a cute little girl (Vienne) and are hoping to get settled here.
