Checking in from the other side....

...of homeowner-ship that is!! WHAT a crazy, long, exhausting weekend. But we are finally IN and absolutely loving it. It was a long road to get here, but everything was so worth it. We feel so very blessed to have this beautiful house -- and can't wait to turn it into a family home :)

I'm excited to share photos of our process as we go -- for the time being, the essential rooms are about 75% put together. Kitchen, bathrooms, living room, bedroom. There are still piles and piles of boxes - some full and some empty! - so we'll slowly be making our way through those over the next couple of weeks.

I think this weekend alone we made about 13 trips to Home Depot, Target, HomeGoods and the grocery store. This shit is expensive and adds up so fast!

We also had our first "reality check" of owning a home -- our oil tank was less than empty and filling that bad boy cost almost $800. I almost died. Thank goodness I was at Target buying cute decorative things when the oil man gave Keith the bill :)

Later tonight I will post some photos of our new place! Thanks for following us along on this journey :)
