a taste of before and after

Our House

We closed on Thursday, April 29th… Our anniversary. “You shouldn’t have bought me a house for our anniversary honey” I told Matt. “It’s just too much”. =) Its just how the dates worked out--a mini blessing. After 9 months under contract, we left work early and met Nick at the title agent for a 3 o’clock appointment to purchase the house. We moved out of the rental that day and put everything in the garage at our new house. Then, had carpets cleaned on Friday and hung out with the Hagleys (our sweet cousins on Matt’s side who were in town from Wisconsin) Friday night. Saturday was painting day--a lovely labor of love and Sunday we moved our stuff in. (a HUGE thanks to our generous family and friends who helped with cleaning, painting, moving and watching Isaac!! We love you)

okay so here's part one of the grand tour
