We're Home Owners!!

We bought a house!! :) I just can't begin to tell you how happy I am that we own a house!... And not just any house, but a wonderful house! A quick rundown of the house: 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 living areas, dining room, big kitchen, & plenty of green grass to play in! Jared's beloved grandfather lived in this home before he unexpectedly passed away in December '08. This home means a lot to us not only because it was Papa Kesler's but also but it's now ours.

There was a lot to be done in the house when we got here. Not anything too major, just mostly cosmetic changes (i.e. LOTS of paint). We've already made a lot of changes like taking the top cabinet doors in the kitchen, replacing the chandelier in the living room/formal dining room, and painted just about every room. It may not sound like we've done a lot, but trust me it's been a very l-o-n-g process.

One of the days that I was painting the master bedroom I spilt a little bit of the paint on the door and I had no rag or anything to wipe it up with. All the shades were up and the windows were open so I looked around to see if any neighbors were around and I didn't see any so I just took off my shirt really quick to wipe of the paint. About the time I have the paint wiped up I looked over and saw our neighbor pulling in his driveway!!!! He could probably see right in our bedroom!!! I dropped to the floor and quickly put my shirt back on and stayed on the floor until I heard his garage door shut! I thought it was funny, but Jared didn't.

Right now I'm in the process of putting our things away and getting organized. I seriously didn't know we had this much stuff! I finish up in a room then find more boxes that need to be put away in the room I thought I had just finished! Hopefully this week I can get everything put away and start hanging things and get to the fun stuff!
