Yes - we bought a house last Friday! We are so excited and I could not have asked for a better birthday present! (Good luck topping that one next year, Ryan! Ha!) The house in located in Duncan and we can't wait to get moved in and everything the way we want it. There will be many more blogs about house renovations, painting, yardwork, and the like. But for now, we are just excited to have a set of keys and to have the option of choosing paint colors.
You know you are a home owner when you go to Home Depot five times in one weekend. We picked out paint colors for the downstairs and bought a ton of paint. Exhibit A that we own a home:
Unbelievable how long it takes to pick out paint!! Thanks to good ol' Rick at The Home Depot, we have a color scheme and 12 gallons of paint. Yes. 12 gallons of paint! Thank goodness we didn't end up with the bad paint guy. Evidently he is legendary at Home Depot for being terrible. The people next to us looked miserable - so moral of the story, thank you Rick for being good at your job and not messing up our first home (well we hope so at least!).
More to come on the house and our adventures turning it into our home. We thought we would try out the blog thing to track our crazy, fast paced, blessed life. For now, it's time to get some sleep - my first day of class for my PhD program starts tomorrow!
Love and cheers!
Love this Blog. DIY should be following you both on their show called "Newly Wrecked Marriage"! It's about Newly Wed couples that are renovating their first home. I am so proud of you both.
