It's Been a While

Laurel from, Exchange in the Hive said that we need to update our blog.  I agree because so much has happened since October.  By the way, it feels like it has been two weeks since then.  We bought a house 1.2 miles north of where we were currently living with Grandma.  We now have a 4 bed, 2 bath, corner house, which we are madly in love with.  It has been quite an adventure to move and start all of these things when we have had no background knowledge on home owning.  Special thanks to our families, including our mothers who forced us to make about five small loads the night of the move before we tuckered out  It was drama free for the most part, even though we had some problems with our big furniture.  That's okay, we love to shop!

Our first house!

In true "We're Really Doing This?!?!" fashion, we decided to start renovations right away (the first week).  We enlisted our friends, Derek and Adam to come over and help.  We traded a lot of beer for some amazing work.  What seemed like a "small" project turned out to be five weekends, again because of the lack of background knowledge.  But they have been so cool and we love our new laundry room.  Everything else seems to be in great working order.  Our goals for the new house: finish the laundry room to completion, create a huge garden space, install a new tankless water heater, and gutters?   More pictures and adventure to come from Zenith.
