Lately

So we bought a house in January and moved in at the end of January. We are still getting settled because we have done a lot of work on the house in the first month. We have had tons of different people here doing different things to improve the house. It was a foreclosure, and needed a little work. Now we are to the part that we can start doing cosmetic stuff, but already spent our money on all the essential stuff, oh well isn't that the case.

I have been having some technically difficulties with the internet, but hopefully that will be up this week, and connected to the computer that has all of our pictures. We did a small remodel job on the kitchen, and I want to show pictures of my house, which by the way I absolutely love! We have soooo many large windows, which is a dream come true, and we have beautiful views of the mountains. We have a 12ft long 5ft tall window in the front room, it is MASSIVE and it is south facing and we get all this delicious sunlight all day long. Yeah I am loving it. Now if I can actually get unpacked, so we aren't living in chaos....in time, right?

So I haven't really been blogging since the summer. This buying a house has been an absolute roller coaster. We weren't even thinking about buying a house for atleast 2 years, but this was in our neighborhood, the interest rates were sooooo low, and everything fell into place. We feel so lucky to have this house.

So I have found a new hobby -- home improvement! I can't believe how much time we spend doing stuff on the house. I know once I actually unpack everything, and now that we don't have different workers at our house everyday, I will start to feel settled, and actually have time for some sewing, but there is a pretty feeling of fulfillment to do work on your own place.

Anyway so here is to some pictures coming.... sometime?

Home improvement is always fun to work on. I do not think you ever get a house completely done.

We miss seeing you guys all the time but I'm glad your house is coming along. It's so exciting to work on your own house. We'll have to get together soon, since you're soooo far away now.

I can't wait to see pictures. YAY! It's so hard to get home improvement and home decor off the brain when you buy.Congrats Emily!
