We have a home!
This weekend we closed on our house. It is our first property we've ever purchased, and it is amazing! I can't say enough for how well kept it is. The previous owners put a lot of work into it. It has new paint, new carpet, new fixtures, new tile, and they even built on a HUGE living room in the back.
We spent the weekend moving in and making it OURS. Our biggest obstacle was appliances, but we're finally done with those. We have a new washer and dryer, a brand new stove, and an old, ugly refrigerator that took us 2 days to disassemble, clean, and reassemble. But it's clean, and it's OURS. We still have a lot of work to do for the next few months just to get everything perfect, but every ounce of energy spent on it is worth it.
I love our new house!
