Viva Casa Hirabayashi/Kennedy!

One month after we moved in, I am finally posting pictures of our home for all to see. Here are some of the highlights and memories to remember from this experience thus far:

• We love being homeowners!  And are accepting the fact that this house is our holiday to Thailand, new places we yearn to explore, etc.  For now, we'll stay in Seattle and nest. 
• Spending all of your time and money at Home Depot, Lowe's, Target, Goodwill and other useful household supply stores, is actually quite normal. 
• Cleaning a home that's nearly 2000 sq ft takes a bit longer than our former little apartment home. 
• Entertaining 10 or more people is great fun and much more comfortable in a house. 
• Unpacking is slowly becoming very lame and really uninteresting to me. 
• Purchasing a home has changed our marriage in many ways- for the good! 

Big huge thanks to everyone that helped us move-Ann, Frank, Nick, my parents, grandpa, dL and anyone else I may have not mentioned.  We are also thankful for our friend and interior decorator/designer, Carisa.  Not only has she helped add flow to our living spaces but she also finds us great free and/or very affordable items.  We are blessed with so much help and love!
