Home Sweet Home

Did I forget to mention we'll soon be homeowners? We are in the process of building a town home and I am beyond excited for it! I love moving into a new place and decorating. The best part is that it will be all ours! Well actually in 30 years it will be ours, but that's besides the point.

Hot off the press. I took this today.

In all honesty I feel extremely blessed to be able to buy a house right now! When we were looking for a home it was the first one we looked at. You could say it was love at first sight. We continued looking, but kept coming back to this particular neighborhood. It is perfect for us in our situation right now. And with the housing market how it is, we would've been stupid to pass up the opportunity.

It has been fun watching it go from literally a hole in the ground, to an actual structure with walls and rooms. I have loved watching it come together into what will soon be our home, where I can have all of my belongings under one roof again ... and have a dishwasher!

Here is some of the transformation through different stages...

Exterior.

Living room.

Kitchen.

Entryway.

Upstairs landing.

Probably my favorite thing was to actually choose the finishings (i.e. paint, carpet, flooring). It was a little nerve racking choosing an entire house off of samples (see below), but I have been so pleased with how it has turned out!

Don't mind my fat face (or moon face as it's called) ... oh the joys of my medicine.
