Our very first house!

Brandon and I bought our very first home!!  Hooray!  It's a cute older house built back in the 1940's.  Which gives it tons of charm.  It's 4 bedrooms, 2 upstairs and 2 in the basement, and 1 bathroom (we're hoping to one day get a 2nd bathroom).  We've got a huge backyard that Lucy can run like crazy in when she's older and trees all around it, making it perfectly shaded during the summer. After waiting for what seemed like ever for our contract to finish up in our townhome we finally got to move into our house!  When we got the keys and saw the house for the first time we were a little disgusted by the condition the previous owners had left it in.  So that set us back an entire day because we had to clean it out.  Thankfully my parents came to stay with us for the week to help which was a life saver!  Thanks mom and dad!!!  It was a whirlwind of a week that included loading and unloading boxes, cleaning, and all sorts of other stuff.  What I was hoping would only take a couple of days actually took the whole week.  But we did it!  And we love our new place.  Especially Lucy.  She  LOVES her room and loves to sit on the nice SOFT carpet in her room and play with her toys and roll all over the place.  Here are some pictures:


















We are in love.  You know that weird transition into a new place?  Well we didn't have that!  It seriously feels like we should've been living here all along.  I feel all grown up too owning my own house.  Can't wait to see what kind of fun memories we make while living here!
