dp and i believe (or at least i truly do) strongly that we should always open our house to our friends and strangers. now that we have more space inside and outside, we have had the true joy of inviting others over. thus far we've already hosted 2 housewarmings, which by the way exhaust us, so that'll be it. in addition, it's just nice to have our friends over for dinner and hanging out. here are some pics of our first housewarming since they've been sitting on our computer.
