The year has been many first's for the hubs and I. We graduated (for the first time), started our first jobs (and got our first paycheck!), got our first apartment; oh yeah, and we got married (HIGHLIGHT)! So ths post begins another amazing first - our first house!
Today marks the beginning of an amazing journey. We did our final walk through after an exhausting house search. We've seen at least 20+ houses trying to find the perfect one. As first time home buyers, and at the ripe old age of 23, we had to stick to a budget. Luckily, the hubs was crafted from God's own DIY cloth. A project manager by profession and all-around stubborn handy-man, we're looking forward to building up, tearing down, and everything in between. So updating the house wasn't our issue; it was more about the location and overall feel of the house. It might have just been me - but I had to be able to SEE us living out our lives. So thank goodness our realtor has been awesome, helping us not just find a house but a home.
This blog is meant to document our adventure of turning this house into a home. I want to look back and say "We did that!" with an exhausted laugh and memory full of unforgettable moments. Please join us on the journey. It'll be crazy and ridiculous, and quite often dramatic if I have any hand in it. But when isn't life, right?!
Congratulations on all your firsts, but especially with buying your own first house together! This is the true starting point of your new life together. I’m sure you were very excited to finally pick up the keys to the house you’ll be turning into a home soon. Post pics of your moving in progress!

Thanks Nannie! Because I'm a neat freak, I didn't take any pictures of our move in process. I unpacked EVERYTHING right away. But you can see the progression of the rooms as the blog progresses - ENJOY!
