Yes, it has been nearly 2 months since we've updated our blog. We've been working like crazy on the house and traveling a ton between UT and ID. Between it all, keeping you current via this site has taken a back seat. We apologize.
Our Christmas was amazing, and one of the biggest reasons for that was our house was ready (enough) for us stay in. YES! We got to spend our second married Christmas together in our very own house.
Since we last updated, much has happened - painting in hallways, built-ins and kitchen, got a fridge, and started adding furniture where we could.While we wouldn't trade our Christmas in the house, we can't quite call it done yet. We still need to tile the front bathroom, and have the floors done (hardwood or carpet depending on the room). Some may say we're more camping than living in the house. No TV (satellite/cable), no Internet, no real bed, no functioning dishwasher or garbage disposal. But the air bed is comfortable enough, the heat works, we've got season 4 of 24 on DVD, and the kitchen is fully functional even though some of our gizmos and gadgets are still in Boise.
Here is a look:

Even Gary has settled in nicely - as seen here with his Seal he got for Christmas from "Grandma" and "Grandpa" McBride.
Its amazing to think that Christmas last year we had no clue that we'd spend this Christmas in a house of our own. Its crazy to think of how far this house as come in the past 6 months, and we can hardly comprehend what it will look like next year. All we know is that we are exciting for the adventures ahead. We look forward to officially moving back to UT. And we appreciate all of you friends and family who follow along with our adventure via our blog.
May 2009 bring you all of the best!
Happy New Year!

Thats really exciting that you were able to spend Christmas in the house. Looks like you've been working really hard since your last update.
thanks for sharing the house.I love it! It was great seeing you in the store, it was like you lived here. We really need to have a monthly get together with us. Or even every two months. It's a must. Congrats on the cute house!
