Our New Home in Fernie, BC!

I think this post will consist mostly of pictures. The pictures I have were taken when the house was in disarray with boxes all over. I plan on taking more pics of the set up and decorated house once we make it that far. We are lacking in wall hangings as of now but, don't worry, the boys will remedy that as soon as our canvasses make it here from Calgary! We've got tons of pictures framed but, when you live in a house with 2 couples, things need to be kept fairly generic...as opposed to wedding pictures or kissing pictures, or pictures of us with non-mutual friends...stuff like that :) That's not to say that we won't get to put up whatever pictures downstairs or in our room that we'd like, but we should probably keep things minimal.
After this weekend we should have a few more things set up and organized, as we hope to bring the rest of our things from Calgary, excluding our bed...which is still being dealt with thru King Koil. They're kinda dropping the ball with this whole thing, and I'm getting tired of sleeping on the lumpy futon mattress on the floor!
Anywhoo..we now have a phone number, and our internet is being set up on Friday so we can stop stealing it from our neighbours :)

~~~~I interrupt this blog post to head outside to my snowy deck and enjoy the hot tub!!~~~~ ;)

Sorry for the interruption :) That was lovely..my first jaunt to our hot tub since we moved in. The guys have attempted each night, but the first night it was only lukewarm so they didn't stay long, the second night it was scalding hot at 120 or something so they had to wait it out for awhile, and tonight it was holding steady at 104 and I figured it was early enough in the evening that I was awake enough to enjoy it. I've been SO tired lately! I am, however, more motivated to walk to and from town...so that will be good for my energy levels and my health all around! We're looking forward to not driving quite as much here, however the driving to and from Calgary will probably level things off...especially when wedding season hits!
Speaking of driving to Calgary...my sister is coming through Calgary on Friday!! She's heading out to the Lower Mainland to visit my parents for a week and is coming into the city with some friends. We weren't originally going to be moved yet, and now we are! It kind of threw a wrench into those plans a bit, but Leah will just head out to Fernie for the weekend, and now we can use their condo in Airdrie as a base while Sherri is visiting :) I'm excitedly awaiting the weekend so I can hang out with my sister! Yay!
Anyway...enough of that...here are the pictures for now!

Our downstairs bedroom...the window is sorta blown out in this pic, but we can see the mountains from our room each morning!
The basement entryway...it's pretty big, which is good since it's going to be the main entrance for the house since it's off the carport
The guest room downstairsThe downstairs living room, which is pretty dark since the only window looks out under the deck! This is where Duane and I are currently sleeping while we wait for our bed, and for the windows in our room to get new curtainsOur downstairs bathroom. It's a bit small, but it is a full bath and has lot of counter space and storage!The laundry room...obviouslyLooking down into the entryway from the front doorThe main living space upstairs...quite spacious! Kitchen is off to the left, straight ahead is the dining nook, and the living room is on the right. The deck is through the set of doors on the right.
The yummy view from our dining nook! Since this picture, those mountains are snow-capped and so pretty!These next 3 pictures are kind of a set...imagine them together left to right, starting with the top picture.
And last, but most certainly not least, is the amazing view we have from our deck! Mt. Fernie, Three Sisters, and Mt. Procter. We can actually see all the ranges around the valley from our house, but my wee little camera can't see that far :)

We most certainly are beyond blessed and quite spoiled in this lovely home. God has provided, there's no arguing that!
