Our First Home

On Friday we signed for our FIRST HOME! I can't believe that this day has finally come. When you are so excited for something I feel like time tends to go  v e r y   s l o w l y. Although this process has felt slow, it actually has been quite fast. From finding this cute little community of first time homes in August to closing in February... AND NOW WE ARE HERE!

Usually I would be disappointed about the minimal amount of snow that we have received this year because it would mean less ski time, but it was because of the nice weather that construction was able
to move along so quickly. I was happy about that... I'm sorry to all of you that were praying for snow. 

Designing a house together was quite possibly one of the funnest things we have ever done. To envision the place that we will start our family and rise our first children...such an exciting thing! 

Deciding colors with a partially color blind person is always exciting. Considering... I think we did pretty good. 

I'm happy to say that we are all unpacked (Big sigh of relief!) thanks to our amazing family that got us all moved in, in one night! P.S. If you are ever moving in and you hit that exhausted plateau, the song"Eye of the Tiger" will liven things up again! Worked wonders. Everyone had their game face on after that. 

Moved in: Check. Organized on the other hand, we will need to do more of that down the road. 

We almost burned down the house the second morning here. So that wouldn't have been good. We got home from church and I turned the oven on to cook lunch. Little did I know that all of our manuals to operating the appliances were put there, real great location. Ha. By the time the oven reached 150 degrees I began to notice a funky smell. Both Tay and I looked at each other and opened the oven. The papers were mere seconds from catching fire. Luckily we saved them. But, not in time. Every fire alarm in the house went off synonymously. The next 10 minutes was spent plunging our ears and running around the house frantically attempting to stop the horrible noise. As we ate our mozzarella sticks we laughed. We had almost burnt down everything we had just worked for. 

Can't wait to start making this house a home!
