"Is this heaven?"

"No, it's Iowa!" (If you haven't seen Field of Dreams, you should!)

We're here. We're happy. And we're still surrounded by boxes. That's okay though. We have been very blessed here. In the week and a half we have been in town, we have had lots of moving helpers, 3 dinner invites, a plate of cookies, and a lawning mowing. Life's great! So far, I like it here in Ames. I may not feel so in love with the area when winter comes, but for now we have had fabulous weather. And I do mean fabulous! You should come visit us!

So I said that I would show you pics of our house when we moved in. I have a collection of pictures at this link (robertandsharon.jalbum.net - click on the "Our House in Iowa" album) from when we saw the house the first time. The rooms will look different with our furniture and a few rooms have been and will be painted. It will be a few weeks before we can show you what things look like with our (not-quite-as-nice) stuff.

Here is a house preview:


I have more to share, but it will have to wait for a few things to get done before I can sit down and catch up the blog fully.

I love the outside of it, too! Beautiful lawn. It makes me want to come visit. I hope your kids have been enjoying that playground.

We'd like perfect weather whenever we visit, please!

Welcome home, Whites!

(Dad/Bob thinks Iowa is Heaven, and is definitely a fan of the movie.)
