So the last few weeks have been super busy! I can't believe it has been over a month since I last wrote. But the big news is we closed on the house February 28th! The day they told us we'd close - which we were shocked by. We were told 90 days from when they broke ground and it was 91 days. Pretty impressive especially since we've had a crazy winter - and we didn't know we were having closing until about 2 hours prior to heading there!
And I didn't have internet in my apartment since mid February and it took us until Monday to get internet at the house - so that explains most of my absence.
So here are a few pictures from the last month. There aren't too many of the house right now since it is still kinda crazy. It is looking pretty good - but still SO many boxes!

| the house! - ignore the ladder and once spring comes we'll get grass! |
 |
| front door |
 |
| most of the main floor - family room, sunroom, edge of kitchen |
 |
| All I wanted to do the night we closed was a cartwheel |
 |
| kitchen - most complete area in the house! |
 |
| the living room - we installed the surround sound last weekend! |
 |
| they let me cut holes in the wall to help with the install! |
 |
| keys! |
 |
| yay backpacking! |
So besides the house - life is good. My new commute kinda stinks but the house is worth it. I'm now about an hour away from work with the fun traffic in the area. The weekend of Jan 22 we went backpacking & camped. It was a super nice day - 60s and sunny!! and it was a little chilly at night - right above freezing. But it was still fun and I was excited to get to use my hammock and a few other pieces of winter gear. It was the first time in 5 years since I left Ireland I used my heavy duty hiking boots and they were needed for the 8+ inches of snow we hiked in and the mud in the places were the snow had melted!

| my hammock - SO much better than a tent |

And on President's Day we went to Mt. Vernon to say hi to George!
So lots going on - but so many awesome things! I'll try to be better with posting. We are off to Kentucky this weekend for an adventure. I've never been - so yay for state #35!
