We Bought a House!

Well we did it! We took the plunge and signed our lives away! We bought a house! (man that was a lot of exclamation points) 

Can you tell how excited we are? If I were physically capable of doing back flips, I would have done them that day. Apparently, when you sign those papers that basically control your finances for the rest of um...forever, you become overwhelmed with a "high-on-life" feeling. Let me tell you, I dig that feeling. You feel invincible, ecstatic, and nervous all at the same time. Then you realize that you are officially a "grownup" now--because apparently to be all grownup and make it really real, you have to own a house. Then once you own that house you have to prepare mentally and physically to make it your own. 


So let us start there. This blog is all about making our new home, ours. We will be posting about the ins and outs of home renovations and DIY projects. My husband is a carpenter, so he will definitely come in handy-no pun intend. He has promised to walk me through renovating our place and we plan on posting tutorials on how to DIY your house projects.  


I, on the other hand, like to believe I can at least coordinate colors (though if you show up at my door unannounced my clothes may say otherwise) so I will also be blogging about my design ideas and updates for this cute little house of ours. I hope that I can somehow inspire you to see the diamond in the rough when it comes to your abode. 

Won't you please join us? We would be honored to have you! Cheers to a wife and her carpenter!
