Special Thanks

One more thing about our new house. In our original post, we thanked our wonder real estate agent, Nicole, but we forgot to thank the fabulous mortgage guru, Fred Holland. Fred did a great job working on a tight time schedule and managing around our vacation schedule. Thanks, Fred!

Finally! News from the new house!

Let me start by saying that I'm sorry to all those who have contacted us with congratulations and well wishes without hearing a "thank you" or any response for that matter. For the last month or two, life has been crazy to say the least. We've appreciated and loved all the kind words from those who matter most to us, and we hope we haven't hurt anyone's feelings.

Two weeks ago, we closed on our new house and began the moving process. We've learned a lot (the value of hiring someone to help with the move itself, taking extra time off from work to get settled, etc.) and we love the new place!! A previous post showed some photos of the house before we bought it and made it our own. Here's what the house looks like when the Nonericks get a hold of it!

Are we having fun yet?

Soma gets off easy in the moving process -- he just enjoyed his new yard while we huffed and puffed.

Ryan enjoys his new living room

This is supposed to be our bedroom?

Somehow our furniture looks pathetic in the new place.

Slowly things get settled and put into place

"So, I guess we're getting take out?"

First visitors!!
Jill, Sadie, and Amy brought over burritos and were the first guests to the Chateau de Nonerick.

We are over the moon about the new place! Look for address change information soon and stay tuned to the blog for updates on our new life as residents of the Crown Hill neighborhood!

Mark and Tara's Wedding Movie!

We're a little behind these days -- moving has stalled everything. We will post about our new house and our big move within the next few days, but before that we want to share a video we made of Mark and Tara's fabulous wedding in Michigan. Mark grew up with Ryan (their parents are best friends), and he is always the life of the party. We had a blast! As luck would have it, we shared a flight out of Traverse City with Mark and Tara on the morning after the party!

To Mark and Tara: thanks for showing us a good time, and it was great to meet Tara and her family. We hope you enjoyed your tropical honeymoon! Say "hi" to Jake!

Vacation!!!

We just got back from a fabulous trip to the Midwest. We traveled to Wisconsin to visit Matt (my brother), Emily (my sister-in-law), Lucy and Amelia (my nieces), and Ted (the loyal family Shih-tzu). On the first night of our trip, we enjoyed dinner with another Nonemacher brother, Jake, and his wife, Jenna.

While we love seeing the adults, the visit is really all about playing with Lucy and Amelia. Here's a video of the good times we had with some clips from the past thrown in.

We also drove to Michigan to attend an absolutely beautiful wedding. We'll post pictures of that part of our vacation asap. Apologies for the lack of details, but we are in the middle of packing for our big move this week. We close on our house on Wednesday and move on Thursday and Friday. More to come!!
