Busy in Chapel Hill

Its been only a week from yesterday since we moved in to our house on Hanford Rd. Since then we have moved all the furniture in, unpacked the kitchen, cleaned the guttters, raked the yard, emptied almost 90% of our boxes, gotten me a painting show, met some cool people, been to an art opening....and now onto cake decorating tonight!

Our friend is a talented baker and cook (of course, shes from Italy...) She and a friend enter a local cake decorating competition every year, and have won the past few years. So tonight is the cake decorating party. Drew and I are gonna put on our artist/cake decorating caps and get down to cake decorating! I think we are using marzipan instead of fondant so it will be interesting.

Now that I think of it, I dont think we have spent a night in...well maybe sunday because it was raining, but every other night its been out...lots of fun! We are in such a great location, so happy we are finally here!!

Its Official!

Its official, 103 Hanford is ours now! WOW our first home! We are so excited/overwhelmed and tired!! Got the keys yesterday at 3pm, emptied one of our moving storage containers in less than 2 hrs, and just have one more to go (tho this one will be harder, its the furniture and big stuff and I am going to tackle it myself today).

How awesome is this, we started looking 2 years ago down here, looked at some pretty scary short sales, some really old battered houses that needed total renovation. In the end it all worked out perfectly. We are in a nice house, great updated kitchen and master bath, hardwood floors, and awesome trail system that connects to each part of the neighborhood.

Well onto more packing!!
