our new HOME!!!

that's right - we've joined the adult ranks of homeowners. we're THRILLED to have purchased a home with:

  • lots of great features, but....
  • no interior doors
  • no carpet (and several millimeters of dirt under the remaining carpet pad)
  • dirt in places i didn't realize it could accumulate
  • no water heater
  • a disgusting spa on our patio
  • this lovely get up in the kitchen
can you say repo? we'll post some before and after shots when we get it all done. it will be fabulous! and aaron and my dad will probably be there until at least midnight all week (just like they were last week) trying to get it ready for a saturday move in.

saturday, you say? isn't that the day you're doing your triathlon, britt? are you crazy?

yes. yes, i am. that's just how i roll.

(for those of you who know us all that well, you know we never move at a "good" time, or a "convenient" time, or do it slowly, and sometimes we get sick right before we move... or most times...)

You might just be insane, but you of all people can handle 2 kids, moving and a triathlon...you're my hero! I just hope no one gets sick this week.

Congrats on owning a home! One day we'll buy a house and realize all the nasty stuff that comes along with it, but for now, the grass is totally green :)

Aaaahhh! I'm so excited for you! And how fun that you get to fix up your house and make it just how you want it. You guys are so crazy and great!

You are so lucky to have a place called home! I wish we were in a place to buy a house. The best part about all of those things is, you get to make it your style. You do not have to worry about tarring out a puke green shag carpet! Congrats on the wonderful place. I can't wait to see more pictures. PS sorry moving can be rough and be on some of the worst days.

What? Home owners? Congrats! Now we definitely need to come see you and your new abode! Good luck getting everything together and especially the triathlon!

congrats! and yes, you will love the granite, it does make cooking (and life, for that matter) better. i don't cut on it though-i fear it dulls my knives and i can't stand the sound. kind of a 'nails on the chalkboard' kind of thing. good luck with it all. loves.
