We are the proud owners of..

a House!!!!!!! 

We started looking at the beginning of February, once we had saved up enough for a down payment.  

We looked at several different houses, but none of them seemed to be the right one. Then we found this one. 

We went and looked at it one night at the beginning of March (I didn't really have high hopes for it) and coincidentally (or not) my family and Brandon's mom also came with us. It didn't take long to realize that we really liked it and so did everyone else. That evening we made an offer on it and the next day it was accepted. Yay!  It really is the perfect house for us. It's an older home, but newly remodeled inside, so it didn't need a lot of work. It's in a great neighborhood, close to the school, and close to pretty much everything. It has 5 bedrooms, so there is room to grow. 

We closed on the house last Thursday, and moved in Saturday. Our family was so great to help us with a lot of the packing and with the actual moving. Now that most of the unpacking is done, it feels like home :)

Since we have only ever lived in apartments, we bought a few pieces of furniture: washer/dryer, couch, fridge, and a sweet tv.

Abbie has transitioned so well! I wanted to make sure she was happy with our new house, so we decided to make her room a fun place for her. We pained it light pink, put up a cute rainbow and girly stickers on the wall, and got her a new big girl bed (twin).  She absolutely loves her room, and loves jumping on her new bed. I think she also loves all of the space (as do I) to wander and play in.

So far, it's pretty great to have our own house! We couldn't be happier!
