Home Sweet Home

We are officially HOMEOWNERS!! As of Jay's birthday (December 29), we closed on our first home. We are so excited that the endless house search is finally over after a year and a half of real estate drama. We have purchased our first home, and we cannot wait to start making memories as a family of three (four in July!).
 

Happy Birthday, Jay! What a great present: a HOUSE!! Since our closing over-shadowed Jay's special day, we will be celebrating his birthday soon. :)

Today we had an overwhelming show of support from our friends as they helped empty our apartment and bring every last box and piece of furniture enter the new house. A huge THANK YOU to C.J., David, Justin, Kristin, Paul, Val, Jonathan, Stephanie, Ben, and Allison. We seriously could not have done the big move without them, especially since my pregnancy prevented me from being much help (definitely a perk of pregnancy-no lifting during a move!)

Connor mowing our new lawn! Thanks, Squirrel!

 
Even though the house is filled with piles and piles of stuff, I am already dreaming about decorating and projects. Below are a few "Before" pictures. Enjoy!





A HUGE thank you to our parents for all the advice, support, and never-ending love that led us to our dream house!

Happy New Year!!
