Housewarming!

So, we had a housewarming party.

Yay.

First we would like to thank everyone that was able to make it to the housewarming; our friends from college, high school, friends from work, both old and current. It was great to see everyone, to get more potted plants and the wonderful gifts that were bestowed upon us.

Secondly, this means that, for real, most of the work is finished in the living room and kitchen. All the transitions, and even a new lighting fixture installed an hour before the party, are completed and looking good, allowing us for the first time to take an entire week off of working on the house. Not to say that won't stop me from seriously thinking about installing the new fans, but...

For the housewarming we had a selection of Kirkland Beers (pretty good actually) and 1984 Kenwood Cab donated by my Dad, George. This was the same kind of wine that Christina had on her 21st birthday and the cork was in better condition, meaning it tasted better to boot. Did I mention that it was a 6L bottle? Well, you'll see in the photos at the end of the post. We also had homemade potato salad, the Bacon Explosion, 3.5Lbs of bacon and sausage rolled up into a delicious log of cholesterol, and fish tacos courtesy of Christina's Dad Nick, who caught plenty of tuna and yellow tail on his week long fishing trip.

What else is there to say? Everyone got along well, the weather agreed, staying warm throughout the night, and the tiki torches gave off the appropriate glow needed for this type of backyard party, and as dinner wound down and people filtered out, well when the cat's away...

The mice play beer pong. Christina and I had a blast hosting this and hope that everyone who could make it enjoyed their time here too. Maybe since I have all this free time I can start getting to the How To's I've been meaning to do.
