Our New Home in Pictures...



This is our Gekko. He eats the bugs in our house and Ryan is trying really hard to get him on a bread diet as thrice he's left the bread bag wide open for Gekko to crawl into an make himself a home. Look at how beautiful the coloring is on Gekko.



This is our kitchen. The picture of Gekko was taken in the upper left hand corner, though this morning I did notice Gekko was hanging out in the upper right hand corner. Note our appliances - all picked up for the combined price of less than $40. We scored most at the Salvation Army. We should be getting a larger fridge. Though the fact that the freezer in this one doesn't really freeze is a blessing in disguise - it means that we can't keep ice-cream in the house. The teeny weeny bathroom is to the left - door in front of stove. It has a stand-up shower stall and a toilet. Brush your teeth over the sink. That seems a bit of an oversight to me.



This is our bedroom. We bought a bed off of Craigslist for $120 (+$20 delivery - cheaper than a U-Haul). The bed is fantastic - it's a Serta sheep counting bed. Queen sized, loaded up with four pillows so I can build my fort every night. We argued about the number of pillows. I won. And now I have a fort. We did not find flannel sheets, though I think they will be necessary come winter. It is substantially colder here than I would have thought.



This is the room that will be our living room. This shot was taken during the move. It still looks a lot like that except that the big plastic bags to the right have been removed. As you can see it needs furniture, but we're so used to living in our bedroom that we're not in a huge hurry to furnish it. The bedroom is behind the wall on the left.



This is our house.



This is our house. Oh, you thought I meant the big house in the back. No - we live in the garage. Here they call it an Ohana. It's amazing how big a two car garage really is.



This is our street. Note the ocean down there.



This is Brownie, our 1985 Toyota Camry with original radio. I didn't name her. Her name was on the keys.



And this is what we did last night!

Life is good!

Peace out xoxoxox
