Pièce de résistance

The UNVEILING........


So we both wanted a Hawkeye room, as should any upstanding alumus. After lots of pain, sweat, and tears, we are ready to present to you.... Our Hawkeye Office!

Door Knobs

One of the things I didn't like about the house we bought, was the GOLD boring doorknobs! I hate gold with a passion, and all of our fixtures, faucets, etc were already silver! What's the point? I know gold is cheaper, but considering the other things that the previous owners upgraded to when the house was built, I'm real surprised. Anywho....just posting a picture of our new knobs. So pretty!

Old
New!
We bought these off a Craigslist listing from a guy that installs doors. We got a smokin' deal for the whole house!! Yay! And snaps go to Todd, because he installed all the knobs for us!

Our New House

Here are pics to share of our new house in Laveen, AZ. After much turmoil, stress, and waiting, we finally got into our house December 11th. Its a work in progress, of course. Right after we moved in, we were off to Iowa for a winter wedding and some early Christmas festivities. My parents came down and stayed while we were gone to watch the dogs and the house sit. Quite a few rooms are missing in the pics because they are completely unpresentable at this point in time..... Guess you have to visit to see them! :)
