Arusha house.

The house here is nice but its been hard trying to fit my stuff into and make it look good. Coming from a sunny hot place to a cold darker place makes a big difference in how you dress a house. We have come from using drift wood and coral for decoration to rocks, berries and firewood. :) Nothing is hanging on our walls yet. Furniture is in its place (for now;) and we are working on the curtain rods and patio. The yard is big and it has a great workshop (that is in a disaster right now) and it will come in handy when setting up our projects. Can't wait to get going. School starts on the 30th of August and I think we are all very ready for it to begin. :)

Kind of a 360 view from our driveway, by the car that green building is the workshop. The gate, the entrance and then a little garden.

The front of the house where we have put a cement bench in and later will work on a patio for the entrance. The gardens are beautiful and missies before our time have done a lot to this comfy home.

The bench in the nude. :) it needs some paint and some cushions. next time you see it, it will be sit worthy. :)

the rabbit and turtles have a new home too. Except they ate the whole plant! I think they are starving. They eat more here?!!

Inside: the house has three rooms so we decided to cut one in half for the kids so that we can have a guest room and then there is our room too. Nick put a wall up with electrical and everything! Working for Tony has come in handy soooo many times! (We love you Tony!!) So we need to texture it and paint it. kids rooms need their curtains up and the room will be done...ish.

Don't they start young?! This is Ethan in the office. Its the IKEA room :)

The is the Entry foyer, the kitchen and then our bedroom. Yes we are sleeping on the floor for now. We are planning on getting a new foam, since that is what you get here. just foam. lol

Dining room and living room. colors might vary. ;)

The guest room is done and it is being occupied for now with our friend and fellow MK Nate Beggs. He is out here working for Maji Tech. He leaves today and has been living with us in our home since we moved here. Its been fun having him here. Wall of fame Nate. Fame. :)
