New House!

We bought a house!!!  Woohoo!  I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am to get away from apartment living.  Some apartments aren't that bad, but ours is pretty terrible.... not to mention we have completely outgrown this place.  I have been beyond antsy to get somewhere where we have a bit more room.  :-)  And I'm so excited to finally have that place!

On our porch.  I'll have to get another pic of the whole house.

Anyway, we closed on Tuesday and then on Wednesday my dad drove up here to help us transform the loft into a fourth bedroom.  Lofts can be great, but at this stage in our lives, another bedroom is WAY more useful.  In just a couple of days, the room went from this -

to this!

So glad my dad is so handy, because he saved us a TON of money.  Plus, Michael loved learning so much.

We are now working on a couple of other small(er) projects before move-in, which should be next weekend.  These projects are mostly painting.  Then, after we finally move in and get settled, someone come help me decorate!  :-)
