Travel Plans For 2011

We have two upcoming trips we are looking forward to. First up is our annual trip to PA over the holidays. We're spending four quick days in Shippenville visiting Bill and Jenn and the kids. We just bought our tickets today and reserved a car.

After that is our group trip to Myrtle Beach, SC in February. Kelli will be running a half marathon, one of several destination running events for her in 2011. Most of the group we are going with will be either running the half marathon or a full marathon. Drew will be cheering Kelli on along the course. We recently bought our tickets for that and secured a rental car today. Our good friends Chris and Karol will be travelling with us on the flight out and back. This will serve as a test run for our big trip in 2011, Italy!

We'll be touring Italy in April. Right now we have a rough plan of attack. We'll fly into Rome, working our way down the coast, and then back up to Venice where we'll fly out of. We have a lot of research left to do.

We're In!

So apparently we skipped blogging about the whole building process. We closed July 17th and moved in a few days later. Now as of today we still have a few boxes scattered around the house still needing unpacked. The garage is obtianing organized garage status, our main level is pretty much filled in with furniture, and we finally have our complete bedroom set. Still on the to do list is to finish Kelli's craft room desk, build computer desk, build storage for tools in the garage, and finish the basement. Sounds like Drew has some work to do.
Our old house is nearly sold, we actually had the sold sign put up this week. Our inspection came back with some to do items. A couple repairmen later and we are near complete. Our closing date is 12/2, a mere 3 weeks away. We still have furniture staged in the house. Some will go to storage, some to thrift store, some to friends, and the rest into the new house. I keep telling myself "a few more weeks".
Below is a picture(s) of our completed house. We need to get more pics of our rooms with new furniture, but we'll have to clean first before we can do that.
