Pictures of our House

My mom came to visit us about a month ago and helped me paint our house and decorate it. Here are some pictures.



Our living room--curtains are on the way-- just as soon as I get my hands on a sewing machine!






















Here is the dining room. The large monkey sitting at the table was JD's decorating touch.



















A smooch on the porch. It was a long weekend to paint the whole place, but well worth it.



















The diploma wall-- the picture of the U of A is holding the place for the big one to come!




















JD has developed a thing for puzzles. The hall is the perfect place to display them.





















Another shot of the living room. I LOVE it!




















Shelves in the living room.

Presenting Mr. JD Smarty-Pants Santini

So we got some exciting news! We will be heading to DC this summer because JD got an internship with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. I am quite proud of him and know he will do a great job. It will be an exciting summer. We will live with JD's parents while JD is fulfilling his internship and we hope that there will be a lot of touring on the weekends. This is a great opportunity. It is especially neat because he will be there during the election hubbub.

JD and I are so blessed and grateful for this opportunity and I am bustin'-at-the-seams proud!

JD's TV Room

JD had been wanting a TV room with a sports theme. We painted a 'BYU wall' and hauled back a bunch of childhood things from his home in DC.

JD has a bunch of sports memorabilia from growing up. You can see his old pennants, a Nolan Ryan framed and signed baseball, etc.

More sports stuff!

Our New Home

We just moved into our first home! It's a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home, and we are so excited!



Our very own palm tree! We've got 2.

And we've also got a lemon tree. I had never seen a lemon tree until we bought this place.

We've even got a fenced back yard with AZ brown grass.
