It wasn't as dramatically romantic as this, but pretty darn close! We love our new home and all the wonderful things about being homeowners. A few things I have learned since moving in...
1. Try to avoid moving in the middle of a 16 upper division credits semester--This equals stress and skimping on homework.
2. If Peter and I ever build a house together, we might kill each other before its finished. Holy Cow that boy has opinions in where usually the wife takes control. i.e. DECORATING. We have totally opposing styles and tastes. It took us 3 weeks to find a dinning table and chairs that we both liked. I still love him.
3. Peter is actually good at fixing things. I had no idea because we never really had to fix things around our apartment and I always fix technical things with the computers.
4. It takes exactly 30 mins from my house to the Benson Building for church. Sundays I now feel like I am driving alot, especially on Break the Fast Sundays.
5. Don't go over 30mph on the road to our house. YOU WILL GET A TICKET.
6. I love being home, just because its all ours!
7. I absolutely LOVE my office! Can't wait to paint it.
8. We have an extra spare bedroom for any welcome guests!
Anyways we have been super busy and loving every minute of it, (even when we are disagreeing on barstools and curtains)
New things with us: Our good friend Bret moved in with us while he prepares for a mission, both of us try to claim him as a little brother. Peter now has a live in buddy that will go play basketball and snowboard with him whenever he wants... I have a feeling I will be seeing him a little less this winter. And Lastly we head to California soon for my favorite sisters wedding!

Hey girl... we are doing well thanks, glad to hear you guys are well also. I was cracking up reading about Peter and his decorating... Frank is the same way... then throw in my mom who really is an interior designer and the three of us could be on wwf smackdown or something. It's a good thing though, I'd rather he care and want to be involved in creating our home, then not caring at all! anyway, good to hear from you... maybe we can all get together when you guys are down here for Alexa's wedding!! Say hi to Pete for me!
Congrats on the house, but now I want to see pictures!!
Can't wait to test out your guest room!!! Wahoo! Congrats on the new home!
Congrats!! That is quite the romantic and dramatic picture. I totally agree with you and Pete. Mick is the same way. I never thought my husband would care...and me being a designer makes it frustrating. Although, I work with both kinds of husbands, and the kind that don't care are a lot easier to work with :) We're struggling trying to agree on something in SF. Whoever thought adulthood would be so difficult?
Congrats on the house!
