Well, I thought it was about time I gave you all an idea of where we are living. We have a townhome in Ahwatukee (south side of Phx) that is about 2 minutes from South Mountain.

We have an extra bedroom and bathroom for all of you back in IN who want to escape to AZ once it begins snowing! This second bedroom is still a work in progress, but (Vera and Shelly) I promise we will have a bed by the time you come in Sept.

Here is the couch that I recovered and our cute new little lounge-chair-sofa-thing. Maybe we'll get a chance to use our fire place this winter.
















Welcome to bliss...our relaxing bedroom. The window has been blacked out, so we can take a nap in near darkness in the middle of a sunny AZ afternoon. With our beach-themed room it is only natural to fall asleep to the sound of waves crashing against rocks playing on the stereo. (Im usually asleep in 2 min). The painting on the wall is a Carrie Kunkel original.



















Our kitchen - featuring pictures of Kunkel's Restaurant (unfortunately not in the pic). Good food and lots of coffee made here daily. Yes, even with no children, our frige is covered in magnets and papers.











We got a dinner table!! It was a steal and a deal. We put our 'lil bistro table out on the patio. We got the table from a guy at church and the chairs at IKEA. They dont exactly match, but I think the effect is charming. We'll still play our Tuscan Village CD and imagine we are somewhere exotic.








Our patio - we havent taken advantage of this area much since it has been so hot. We did enjoy a rainstorm one night out on our little outdoor spot. We'll have to get a grill soon! We do have our own fountain outside the patio since a sprinkler's top got knocked off. It is pretty much a geyser every night.

Well, this pretty much wraps up todays tour of apt 1248. Thank you for coming along today. I hoped you enjoyed yourself. Come for the real-life tour anytime you'd like.
