You can stick your feet square in my house!

Friday, June 10, 2011

Listen, I've always been the first to tell you that our house is so small it makes Verne Troyer look like a giant.






But what hurts my feelings even worse, is that it makes Ali feel like this:



So, we decided that the best course of action would be to get on out of that tiny hut and move on up into some square footage, partner!

Introducing, the new Team Torres headquarters!






 It has 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 2800 wonderful, luscious square feet!


Formal Living Room - For hosting showers, Christmas Day, and yelling at kids to stay out of
Informal Dining, so I guess tacos and McDonald's here
Informal Family Room for watching American Idol, Intervention, and Hoarders.  (Also known as Informal Informal Dining Room).
Magic Kitchen
Master Bedroom...Please note how nice it looks with no TV in there...Right, honey?!?
This is where you'll be staying when you come visit us.  I promise Taylor Swift won't be there when you get here though. Unless you want her there, but then I have full authorization to make fun of you.
Office or Formal Dining Room.  I may elect to make this Alessandra's playroom so that our home no longer appears as though it's puked a Toys R' Us all over our carpet.
Theater!  We are SO watching Napoleon Dynamite and Pee-Wee's Big Adventure over and over again in here.
Backyard with pond view and vegetable garden and fire pit and gazebo for hammock.  Also for Ali to run around like crazy in.  Also, insert eventual dog in there too, because we've gone far too long without a four-legged friend.
We move in July 1st!!!  What was that you said??  I couldn't hear you...Oh, really?  Oh, you want to come help us move that day?!?  No, no, you don't have to...But..You insist?!?  Well, I guess I can't stop you.  See you then!  :)

We are also beginning a new journey as landlords.  We decided that although this market is SWEET to buy in, it is not so sweet to sell in, so we are renting our current home out.  Anybody with property management advice, please don't hesitate to pass it along, because we will be needing it.

On top of everything, I've just returned from Los Angeles where I attended the E3 convention.  3 whole days of talking about nothing but video games and such.  Here is me with my new boyfriend Grand Moff Tarkin.  He looks super happy that I'm just about to lick his ear.

"Governor Tarkin, I should have expected to find you holding Vader's leash.  I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board."


I'm sure I'll be updating with more house news, so stay tuned!!!

Cheers!

2 of you love me, and I you:
