Our New House

We have been so blessed lately it is unreal.  Here is one of the biggest blessings.  We were able to purchase our own home.  We have been saving pretty much since the dy we got married in order to buy a house.  We decided to just look at houses on the internet during President's Day weekend and the next thing we knew we had a realtor and were putting offers in on houses.  It happened a lot faster than we expected, but with everything that has happened recently we know it is the right time and place for us.  We live in probably the nicest neighborhood in the whole world by the way.

Our house was built in 1950, but the person we bought it from remodeled the inside so everything is new from the plumbing to the paint.  This is a perfect compromise for us.  Cass wanted old with character I wanted reliable and nice.  We are also really excited to have a full size dishwasher (it is amazing how many dishes we can wash at one time now!) and we are growing our own garden so keep your fingers crossed that we will be partaking of an excellent harvest this summer and fall. Here is a street shot with us on the porch.  There is a garage off to the side that you can barely see.  No more scraping windows for me :)

 

And now for the inside.  Please keep in mind as you look at the pictures that we have a 14 month old who likes to play with everything.  And we have only been in the house for 2 weeks.

Here is the front room.  We LOVE the windows.  So different from the basement we have lived in for the last 3 years.

Kitchen- pretty excited about the gas stove.

Master bedroom. There is a small walk in closet behind you in the door goes to a bathroom.

Our master bath.  It is small, but we are so excited to have a bathroom connected to our bedroom. 

This is Alden's room

And Alden's bathroom

There is a basement too, but we didn't take any pictures of it yet.  There are two more bedrooms, a bathroom, a family room, laundry room, and another kitchen downstairs.  There is also a separate entrance to the basement so we could rent it out if we wanted to, but for now we have a guest room and craft room along with extra kitchen in case I get really excited to cook :)
