Rovenna Street.

It has been slow moving...but we are officially done painting, carpeting the upstairs, unpacking, and buying needed furniture!  Furnishing Atticus's room is still in the works, however. It can not be said enough how happy we are to be where we are, doing what we are doing.  Big moves are always stressful...but the excitement of owning our first home and prepping it for our family in the works has made it a fun process.  

I am going to try to post some of these as BEFORE and AFTER pictures.

Mowing our lawn for the first time.  Who would have thought how exciting it would be to mow your very own lawn.  Not your parent's lawn...YOUR lawn.  It was a big moment.  :)

Campbell Creek trail head right at the end of our street.  Trevor rides his bike on it to work every day...and I take my lovely walks on it.  The city of Anchorage, itself, is pretty unattractive.  Somebody described it to me this way:  If strip malls and that industrial part of town had a baby...Anchorage would be it.  I have to agree.  Which is why we were so delighted to find this trail head at the end of our street.  Incredible. 

My 30th birthday dinner that Trevor made us.  Sooooo good! We woke up for the first time in our new home on this day.  It was perfect!  

How he managed to make me this beautiful dinner and homemade cake in the chaos that was our kitchen is a miracle in itself.  Spice cake with penuche frosting...in case you were wondering.  Yuuuuum!
