first night

Here we are. We are in our house.

Hurrah!

Last night was our first night (which makes this one coming up our second - I'm very good with math!).

The picture is of the sunset from our kitchen window - the colors were amazing. God seems to be kind of crazy-good with colors like that!

We went a little nutty with our first meal in our new house and did bbq hot dogs. I know, wild, right? But they were quite fabulous. And Eric bought bacon so that I could have a "whistle dog" (A&W... ring a bell for anyone else? They are my personal fav.)

After dinner we headed up to our roof and made smores. Yes, that's right, our roof. We have roof access and it is a most fabulous space..... quite large and will be great for parties (kind of like the one going on as I type this - the neighbors are having it... weren't invited - how rude - but it pretty much feels like we are right there anyway. live band and the whole thing... pretty rockin'). Anywho, we love it up there and on a clear day we can see two of the three volcanos perfectly... I'm sure that will be posted later.

We bought the fire pit and plastic chairs from the previous renters and are so glad we did. Great place to hang out for us.

And a new discovery... since they don't have graham crackers here, Eric bought something that looked similar but ended up tasting a little more like a ritz. Yummy!! The salty butteriness is great with the sweet.

Just a side note, the party going on right now? Just turned up the music and have some guy on the mic calling out stuff... and singing along. Frightening. I'm thinking a little alcohol is involved. Okay, a lot. It's pretty entertaining.

Excuse me, gotta head out to the roof and check it out.....
