Beautiful Beautiful Appliances

Here is the inside of my Fisher & Paykel refrigerator. How Heavenly is this? The freezer is also wonderful, but hard to photograph. This was the biggest splurge, and I am so glad I spent the extra $500. 
Below is the first washer and dryer I have lived with since I lived at my parent's house. The first night I slept at the house, I did four loads of laundry. I was a little excited and stayed up VERY late. If it had been a little bit warmer and I could have set up the couch down there, I would have been happy to just watch my laundry being done. GOOD BYE LAUNDROMAT! HELLO LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY! (that's what I've named them)

This is a Frigidaire oven. When Tanja and I were both looking at appliances and I told her what I was getting, she suggested that I look at the Italian model she was getting as it wasn't much more expensive than the Frigidaire that she was buying. Let's just say Tanja's is over $1,000 MORE than what I am spending. That's all I'll say. This is a pretty basic model, nothing too fancy, but also pretty sturdy, too. 

First Night Home


By complete chance, my parents were in Bar Harbor with a truck load of furniture the day that I signed my mortgage. We were going to put the furniture in storage, but it worked out that we unloaded right into the house. Dad, Ashley, Baby Jovin, and Amber-Rae helped to celebrate by sharing some champagne at the house. It was great! However, there was no heat, hot water, or appliances, so my first night sleeping there was a couple days later. 

CHEERS!

Signing of the Mortgage. . .

These pictures uploaded in the wrong order, and I don't really have the energy to fix it, so . . . Here I am unlocking my door for the VERY FIRST TIME!!


And below is a wonderful welcome home from from the bank that my friend Ashley and her kids did for me:
Here I am at the bank. This is the first of 500,00 signatures that I did. I'm not kidding. I'm pretty sure I signed something giving my body for medical experiments when I die. 
And the first signature up close:
