voila!

welcome! welcome! we are proud to show you pictures of our very first humble abode. we have done a lot of work on this house (seeing how it was a foreclosure) and many of you have been on our case to post pictures of our new house...well, new to us. we have been so busy with the inside that we have decided to postpone the outside landscaping until next spring. we are a little burnt out but we are so excited to plant in our many flowerbeds. the guest bedroom and jayden's room are not yet fully decorated so there are no pictures of those rooms. i am in the middle of making a surf board for jayden's room. we'll see how that turns out. and so without further ado...our home.

AND AFTER








we have an awesome 2-car garage that we love seeing how we have been living in apartments forever and had nowhere to store things. we also love that we have a forest behind our house.

we pretty much gutted everything out of this house and put in new stuff...including a toilet. no, we are not keeping it, but quinn is having a hard time parting with it. it is just so kentucky to have a toilet on your yard. he wants me to put it in our front yard and plant flowers in it. i said absolutely not...it is going out with the garbage on friday! and yes that is a mini grill on top of it. great for parties. actually we have a real grill that was given to us and we would love to have everybody over to our house to use it up. all y'all out west...come on over, flights aren't too expensive are they? anyways, we have had so much fun in doing all of this. our door is open to anyone that would like to visit. we love you all! come see us!

I am impressed to say the least. I love the chair rail in your dining room and all of the new cabinetry. Very lavish.

Haha, we talked crap on you the whole way home. It was awesome. ;)We'll keep being cool to your faces though, just so you can feel good about yourselves...
One of the first things I noticed about your blog is the feet on the beach pic...it is so similar to ours! We're definitely on the hunt to get into a house. It will not be fun having to drive more than 3 minutes to be at school/work, but overall, the pros totally outweigh the cons. We're still planning the trip to Florida, and you guys are coming, even if you secretly (or outwardly) hate us. I got the blog heading from Emily, my brother-in-law's wife. She's in the computers/advertising/web design industry and is the bomb.com. I'm useless without her! We need to figure out another time soon to get together. I'm thinking we need to learn how to play Settlers???

looking at your "before" kitchen again reminded me of our old apartment. That was a funny ghetto place.
