....again....

You may think that you have heard this before from the Andersons. That is because you have, and you will again I am sure. The news is that we moved again! As some of you may remember, for the last few weeks,we were living with some friends. The original plan was to live with them until we left Minnesota. However, We had an opportunity pop up that we felt we could not pass up. A family in our ward moved to a new house a few months ago and offered to let us live in their old house for the remainder of the time we are here. So, we will still be in the ward boundaries, and we get our own space! I feel like this house is huge, we have never lived in this much space and we feel so blessed. We have made so many good friends out here and we are so grateful that they reach out to us. We knew we were going to be moving during the week, so on monday night we had asked a couple people to help move some things. The word spread like a wildfire, and we had an army of people show up, bringing trucks, trailers, vans and children to help out. All in all, it took about 1 1/2 hours to get all the heavy things loaded, moved over to the new place, and unloaded. Thanks to everyone that helped! It really made our move so so so much easier! This house has four levels, and endless room to play. My mom has been asking for pictures, so here goes...
Here is our new home from the outside. Isn't it cute? And look at the lush grass!

Here are the pics of the main floor. First, in the kitchen there is a small table. The kids love to eat while peering out the window. Its like being royalty.
Here is the rest of the kitchen. Yes, there is a double oven. Apparently its called the bachelor oven. I am not a bachelor, but I love this oven!


Next on the main floor is the dining room which runs into the living room. The entire main floor is beautiful wood floors. It looks very classy. I know the rug that was there does not match my sofa, but it will make our feet warmer in the winter time. Sorry about the funny light coming through that big window.


If you go down the stairs, there is a play room, and a den which of course is also a craft room for Annica and I. There is also a bathroom. (not pictured)


If we go down another level there is the laundry room, and opened unfinished area. This will be an awesome place for trikes and scooters in the winter!

Lets go back to the main level, then continue upstairs. Here we have three bedrooms. I did not takes pics of our bedroom, but should have taken a picture of the custom IKEA wardrobe. One word, awesome. Another word, huge. My favorite part of upstairs though is the kids rooms. The husband that lived here has a sister who hand painted them. They are incredible! Its always awkward to take pictures of bedrooms. The pictures make the rooms look small... none the less, here are the best ones I got. (note: there is a big bathroom upstairs too)



Thats all folks! We are enjoying it a lot and are completely unpacked. If you come out to minnesota, we have room for you to stay and a great air mattress! Stay tuned... we think we will be leaving Minnesota in 4-6 months, so we will see where we get to go next!
