By Wednesday of this past week, the house was entirely unpacked. Everything was put away. We spent Wednesday afternoon organizing the garage and stacking boxes in the attic, and Liza spent Thursday giving the house a full cleaning. It’s all put away now – and you can see pictures on our Picassa picture site – the link is on the right!
Last night was our housewarming party. We had a FANTASTIC time. It was so nice to see most of our friends – Renae and Tate and Cortney and Jeff, Cody and Katie and Anthony and Katie, as well as Sarah and Dustin, Rory, Jason, Nick and Anna, and Liza’s cousin Jessica all came out for awhile. We had lots to eat and even more to drink! It was fun to show off our new house, and it was extra fun to know we were smack in the middle of Minneapolis! We spent time inside and outside – and the last people didn’t leave until after 2. We were so glad to see all of our friends – and we hope that they all come out again!
This is our first weekend to just hang out and relax since we’ve been in Minneapolis. We took Daisy to Petco today so she could be around other dogs and meet new people, and while we were there we decided to adopt a dwarf hamster. Liza had hamsters and gerbils growing up, and Tony’s had one before as well, so we though that it would be a fun pet to have. Plus, they had a litter of hamsters there that were up for adoption, instead of just purchase, so we felt good about giving a needy animal a home! We’ve been enjoying our new pet this evening.
Tonight we are heading out to go to a movie and tomorrow we’ll spend relaxing and hoping that the Vikings can finally pull off a win.
