Brought to you by comcast

and the letter J.

sorry it has been eternity, but there was a lack of internet for a time and then generic busyness... so

here is the grand tour, first and foremost, the rest will come in bits.

as a side note:
i love this place,
i feel right at home,
and i would be a crazed lunatic to ever leave it....
so with that self-imposed pressure....
sit down kids, cause it'll be a while.

the master bedroom
(hey, we got here first- you would've too!)

closet 1 we decided is just for shoes and jackets...

you thought i was kidding about the boots...

the closet... is ridiculous...



family room and a half

huge dining room for my big family...

now, you might think this is an over-sized kitchen.
and you would be right.

but then you remember that we have 6 girls in here

and you get over it,
cause when we are all here at the same time it is actually quite perfect.

at a friends house less than 24 hours prior,
Donelle: won't it be nice to be in an apartment with matching dishes...
Me: yeah....that will be the ones you register for...

alas:
our pre IKEA-ed apt

we are in the penthouse on the top corner.

the only one with a corner balcony like this one...

view from my window (not the creepy movie)
during daylight hours after a heaven-sent rain.
yum. and yes, there are 3 hotels in view.

more details to come...
