Our New House

The front of our new house. The cute little cottage I've always wanted.
Soon it will be painted...can't wait to see how the color we chose turns out!
Windows in the stairway going upstairs. I love all the natural light.
Back door in the kitchen leading out to our yard.
Master bathroom.
Ryker chillin' in the new kitchen.
Brody checking out the new playroom.
Hallway upstairs. 4 Bedrooms and the kid's bathroom.
Soon this will be my dream kitchen. I can't wait to start seeing it come together!

Yep...we bought a house. I still can't believe it. I feel like we had been looking forever. Jayson and I were starting to get really frustrated and felt that we would never be able to find something...then it just happened. We found this cute little house on the Daybreak website and decided to drive by it. We loved it right away and loved it even more when we found out we would still be able to pick out all of the cabinets, flooring, paint...everything! It was within our price range, we will have a driveway...even with it being in an alleyway, and a nice side yard that we will be able to fence. (The yard is completed by the builder, so no need to worry about putting it in...just the fence.)

The other nice thing is that our basement will be finished as well. Holmes Homes was offering a free finished basement if you went with their preferred lender. At first we were thinking there was some kind of catch to that...but none at all. We are so thrilled! Our finished house will have 5 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, 2 living rooms, a kitchen and a dining room. We've already been to the design center and picked out all of our options. Now we're just anxious and have to wait for it to be finished. It's like when I was little and waiting for Christmas to come...only worse. Our house is also a "smart home." We get a free iPad 2 to be able to control everything. Jayson is pretty stoked about that. Although I hope he realizes he's going to have to teach me how to use it. Haha. That might be interesting. Here's to hoping 60 days goes by fast.

  1. Like when you were little waiting for Christmas? How about 2 years ago when you beat me to our house prior to 6am?
