The apron went back on at about 1 a.m.

Finally, six months after we moved in, Dallas and I had a housewarming party. We had between 25 and 30 friends over for tons of food and drinks. Some people came over in the early afternoon to watch parts of the Cubs game with us. After that we spent lots of time on our deck above our garage because it was a gorgeous sunny day. When it got too cool we headed inside. There was a short round of Rock Band. Others started a card game that lasted well into the morning hours.

Thank you to everyone for helping us celebrate our new home. We are thankful for having such great, fun, generous friends and for being able to spend time with you all.
