New Digs

Ever log into somebody's blog and noticed they haven't updated in a while and figured that nothing much must be going on? Well, let me just say in our case, the opposite is true. A few days after my last post, I got word that I got a new job. Then, Tommy got a new job. Then, he and the Unborn Soul started playing more gigs. Then we moved. Then Christmas happened. Then New Year's and well. . . here we are.

Let me just say we're settled and having a great 2008 so far. One night, shortly after we moved in, I lay in bed, staring at our cozy viga ceiling and counted how many places I'd lived in. I came up with 12—and this place makes Lucky 13. Aside from the farmhouse where I grew up, this is the best place I've ever lived. I think the thing I like best of all is that it's about 60 years old, which means no drywall, no el cheapo white carpeting, no tupperware bathtub. This place was built to last, baby, and we love the wood floors, beamed ceilings, kitchen and bath tile—and best of all in winter—the fireplace. I sound like I'm bragging. I don't mean to. What I'm trying to say is this place is SUBSTANTIAL. The closet doors close with a thud instead of a fffttt. Know what I mean?

Welcome to our adobe abode. Take a little tour.



Please, step on to the portal.



Come inside to our living room.



This shower curtain was custom made for us in Oaxaca. Okay, it's really from K-Mart. Admire it's loveliness.



We've got a little nicho in the hallway.

Well, I'd like to upload more photos, but Blogger is being a pain in the butt right now. Perhaps I can post more later.
