[house] owning it

The most exciting news of 2015 so far is that... we bought a house! We closed on it yesterday and I am so happy! This whole home buying process has been a WILD ride and one that I don't look forward to experiencing again... at least not soon! Anyway, we feel really good about this house and the location - cause isn't that what it's all about? It's a fixer-upper, for sure, but we are excited for all the possibilities that are before us. David already spent the evening at the house, ripping off wallpaper, cutting through some drywall and laying down the plastic to prepare for some work this weekend. I hope you're all up for some before and after pictures and posts, cause they're coming! :) Eeee! We are home owners! It's like we're adults now! Ha!

    Congratulations! It's always neat and exciting to me to see the ways that people remodel their homes. Part of that is because I have no skills in that way at all, so it just seems superhuman and magical to me for something to go from dumpy to fabulous. You guys will have the cutest house!

      Thanks Diane! I also love seeing other remodels - it's one of my life's greatest pleasures!! We're hoping we can do this before we go broke, crazy or dead.
