"Everyone is running, and I come to find a refuge in the easy silence that you make for me. It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me. And the peaceful quiet you create for me. And the way you keep the world at bay for me..."
Dixie Chicks "Easy Silence"

Dave and I bought our own bi-level condo in Stanhope in September 2006. The following is a collection of photos since moving there. Enjoy!

Leigh and I at a wine tasting at Waterloo Village in Stanhope, September 2006

Waterloo Village is one of the most beautiful spots in Sussex county

Leigh and Jonathan with a very unhappy little tree...:P

The world was a little blurry, but I was having fun with my sweetie

Mama said, "knock Dave out!"

Young, drunk, and in love...:)

Another shot of the general splendor :)

The terrifying Jack O'Lanterns at Van Cortlandt Manor's "Blaze" in Tarrytown, NY

Norm & Daisy feeling right at home in Stanhope

My highly decorated bedroom wall...I love the purple! = )

Another view of the bedroom

And yet another look around the room...;)

Our sexy bathroom...= )

Here's the dining room area :)

A look across our living room to the dining room--note the couch crashers ;)

Step inside our living room...

Our hallway, complete with decorative Irish drum

More of our living room and foyer area

Here's where Dave does all his gourmet cooking...and I watch (or maybe bake)

Our kitchen sink area...lots of counterspace!

Our kitchen table, where Daisy enjoys looking out the sliding doors :)

Our downstairs guest room area (with Norm-proof tarp ;))

A look at Dave's musician's studio!

One of the great features of our house--it has TWO bathrooms. Here's the one downstairs, once again filled with my wall hangings :D

A rare moment when our couches are uncovered...it's so much prettier without tarps, but gotta take precautions with Norm...O:)

Our cozy living room, ready for Christmas

Just a *small* sample of the appetizers we had for our housewarming party = )

Cupcakes, chips, and...Daisy?!

Apparently, she wasn't getting the hint to MOVE!

A look up our stairs from our finished basement

Yes, MORE decorations...I'm an elf ;)

Norm is clearly ready to party...:P

Dom, Cheryl, and Matt (far right) having a great time, while Dave is obviously intoxicated...O:)

Jon and Kerry on the "make-out couch" downstairs, acting silly = )

This time, they got it right :)

Jim and Latha looking adorable

Larry and Jeff chilling with Emma (far left) and Stacy

Leigh and Jonathan cuddling up = )

My gorgeous horse, Luna :)

Luna looking pretty

Luna still looking cute, or subtly begging for treats :)

Luna showing off her favorite trick--"I can stand on three legs!"

My engagement ring...I'm not a diamond girl, but this one means a lot = )
