.:Homeowners:.

Well... we're almost homeowners. Drew and I have started the long, arduous process of buying our first home. It is incredible how much goes in to it, but you should expect nothing less when it's something this big and important. With all the craziness going on, we've found ourselves praying more and more. I am so thankful for faith, let's just say that! I think I would tear my hair out if I didn't have faith that everything will be taken care of in God's time. Just the thought of it makes me feel better!


The house has 3 bedrooms (plus office), two and a half baths, updated kitchen, nice backyard, security system, and a mud room to die for! It's just amazing. It's everything we could have dreamed of for a home and more than we could have asked for in our first! We want to stay in this house for as long as possible, so we picked a place that is within the school district we want our kids to go to. Go Jackson Timberwolves!


If everything goes according to plan, the whole thing will close two days before Drew is set to go to Japan. Ack! That means I will be doing the tough stuff without him. We have agreed tentatively on paint colors for the rooms that need it, and I am hoping to have this done before he returns. White for the office (currently burgundy), slate gray for the living room (currently forest green) and light blue for the master bedroom (also forest green).


I'm not sure why I am going in to such detail at this time, since we don't even have the house yet. I am just so beyond excited for everything that this house stands for.


Andrew, I am so in love with you and so thankful to be making this journey together. Thank you for being my rock and my sanity as I hope I am also for you. You bring so much joy and excitement in to my life and I thank God for you every single day.


Front. Cream and green... (May paint outside one day!)
Updated kitchen. He was an electrician, I hear. A good one by the looks of it!



Living room. See the green? Not my cup o' tea!

Master bedroom. Not a fan of the green. Drew chose light blue.

Office in the front of the house. SO excited to have an office!
Backyard. There is an actual backyard!
