Welcome Winter!

We woke up today and checked the weather, -3 degrees (yikes) with the high at 1 degree!

Brad & I actually like cold weather, but this may be too much........

Where's India?

Hey, did you all know that Chicago winters are pretty cold?!? India spends much of her day curled up asleep - these are some of her top winter spots! One thing is for sure, she likes to be warm & cozy!

My favorite chair and India's favorite too! India has never liked this chair until this apartment - it is right next to the window, sunshine and heater!

This is hardly ever allowed, but I had to get one picture! She likes to get up there after I've taken the tea kettle off the burner, a little scary!

Sitting on the swim towels in the Linen closet. She often gets shut in here accidentally!

The DVD player is India's great love!

Closing!

We officially closed on our first home today!

The feeling of home ownership is both exciting and a little scary! This weekend we are going to paint and make an IKEA run for new kitchen cabinets! We are doing a few renovations and are waiting to move in until after the New Year.

I think this is the biggest birthday gift Brad has ever received!

Happy Birthday, Brad
