Official Homeowners!

After almost 7 long months of waiting we finally got the house of our dreams. Ok, it's not really the house of our dreams, but it is a great starter home. It was a short sale so it took forever for the bank to give us a contract to buy the house for less than what was owed on it. In the meantime we lived with Cade's parents, at his sister's apartment while she house sat for 3 months and rented our new house. We're really glad its all over and we finally have a place of our own and can stop moving. Our three favorite features are having a garage, a pantry, and a walk-in closet. We'll never be able to live without those things again! I also LOVE the kitchen, it's pretty spacious for me and I still have empty cupboards. Cade loves having a backyard that he can practice shooting his hunting bow in. The house isn't very big but with the high ceilings and the family room being open to the kitchen it feels bigger. And the best part of it was that it was move in ready when we bought it. I do want to paint all the walls but I don't have to rush to get it done. Here are some pictures for those of you who have asked to see them.

Here is the entry way. I love having it so when strangers come to the door they can't see into my house and I don't have to pick up for anyone who just comes to the door.

That leads into the family room.

For the first time since we've been married we finally have a place for a table.

The kitchen with its many cupboards! (not my favorite countertop though)

And we have a breakfast bar.

And here is our bedroom. It needs a lot of work but we're currently out of money :)
