The proof that it was orange (or peach or light salmon or anything else besides pretty!)

This is a picture of the house. It was taken by the seller's realtor when the trees were all dead. They are in bloom now and you can hardly see the house. This is the easiest one to see the entire thing without obstruction. It's a beauty, isn't it?! ;)


Some may snicker, some may say mean things, but it's mine and I love it! This is what is in our budget, and we are trying really hard to live within our means. It's so tempting to go after something we can't afford, but we're excited about this one! The color is ugly. It's orange, I know!!! But there is so much potential. I can't wait to get my hands on it. We drove by today, and they have begun work to put a new roof on this week. Can't wait to see it with the new darker gray roof. I'll be taking pictures along the way of all the changes, so stay tuned!

A new adventure.

This is all so new to me! If you've seen my family blog, you'll know that I haven't kept up very well. For many reasons, but mainly because I just don't know what to say. I asked my family and friends on facebook if I should blog about our new home and the resounding answer was YES! I am not a great writer, so please bare (or is it bear?...see, not starting off so well, am i?) with me.

We will use this blog to document this home buying, DIY, changing it all adventure we're about to embark on. We close in 11 days! Fun times ahead!!! So, if you're interested, follow along. If not, go away. Won't hurt my feelings! Thanks for stopping in and enjoy!
