We Moved!

A year ago!

It was a year long process to finally get into a house in town and we are definately happy with the change! We love the city and being able to walk to the bookstore or go grab coffee, although it is still my dream to end up in a nice suburban community with a backyard and a garage!

And on top of all the stress of buying a home (including 12 offers and 4 failed escrows)...we found out we were expecting! I was elated to say the least...but then reminded that I was still in an escrow that hadn't closed. And if it did close, we got ourselves a major fixer-upper that we weren't going to live in right away. Ahhh! I prayed we wouldn't have the baby sleeping in a drawer at my parents house. And prayers were answered! We moved in four months before he was born, with no flooring downstairs, no kitchen besides an oven and fridge just sitting there, and all of our worldly possessions piled in boxes fresh from storage. And crazy as it all has been (and still is), it's been worth it. Baby was born in April and I have a feeling he's going to turn out to be an amazing handyman!

And because late is better than never I'll give a formal tour and lots of before, during and after pictures. Come to think of it, is there ever a real "after" when it comes to a home? It seems like there is always something to be done, or tweak, or paint colors I change my mind about. Emphasis on the paint colors changing...I'm picking out the THIRD color for our master bedroom. Hopefully this time I'll get it right!

Anyways, pictures to follow, room by room!
