Our New Digs

As you can tell from the masthead, the Thornburgs have MOVED! 


AGAIN! If you're keeping count, we had an apartment together in Lafayette after college.  Then we bought a house on the south side of Lafayette.  Then we sold our house and moved into a temporary duplex in West Lafayette until we moved up north.  Then we moved into an apartment in Granger when we finally moved up north.  Then we bought a house in South Bend and lived there for 2+ years.  Then we recently sold our house in South Bend and lived with my parents in Rensselaer from the end of June until just last weekend when we moved into our house in Lafayette.  SEVEN! Seven residences, Ah Ah Ah! 

We moved into the house last weekend with the help of many many people.  Thanks go out to my parents, Andrew's parents, my brother Brandon and his family, my brother Adam and his girlfriend Steph, and Andrew's friend Nick.  Without them, we wouldn't have been able to do this.  We are so blessed to have such great family and friends.  Yes, we owe you.  Big Time.  :) Especially my parents.  I know they enjoyed having Tommy around but wow did we crowd you for 3+ months.  That's a long time to share one bathroom.  We got close! :) 

Sooooo... let's get on to the house.  I won't bore you with all the details (they are here).  I'll just show you the highlights. 

The backyard is leafy and gorgeous.  We haven't quite figured out where our property line is yet though. 

 Check out the Weather Vane!! How cool is that??

 We have a screened-in porch...

 and a deck!

 Look at that super cute window baby!

 We have built in shelves in the finished part of the basement.

 We have creepy handprints in the unfinished part of the basement.  Yikes.

 This is the master with the giant window.

This tub is amazing (or as Casey Wilson's character on Happy Endings says, "Am-AH-zing.")  It seriously is HUGE. Love it.

There are great wood floors.  Check out the recessed ceiling with a Mac Daddy chandelier.

We are sooooo blessed to have found this house.  We can't wait to make it our own.  But for now, we just need to organize.  Hopefully we'll get some painting done by the end of the week.  Look for updates in the future! Yay!
