FINALLY.......Home Sweet Home!!

It has been almost 6 months now and we are the HAPPIEST couple in the world. We closed on our house May 27, 2010 and it is perfect for us. It is not a huge home by any means but it is ours. Our home has 3 finnished bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (Eldon and I finally don't have the share) a good kitchen, a front room and a family room with the laundry area not finnished (thankfully) It is PERFECT.......I am going to put in a salon. what could be better than haveing my own space to do hair (which I love...duh) while staying home. and then just wait the fun keeps coming there is still an unfinnished basement. Plenty of room for the two of us(plus the boy-dog-son)

The yard is huge, I wanted to get goats and I had Eldon warmed up to the idea about the same time Diezel came into our lives. We planted our first garden and are still enjoying the fruits (actually just vegitables) of our labors. El decided that he LOVES bell pepers so he planted 6 dear hell between that and the zuccini I think our freezer is full. The BEST part about our house I must say is the garage. I love that I don't have to scrap the snow or frost off of my car in the mornings (I am usually running late as it is)

We have both been enjoying the new found task that come along with home ownership, the yard was a huge pile of dead looking weeds when we moved in and the sprinkling system wasn't working all that great. My dear sweet hubby has been so brave and we now have grass and sprinklers that work and a yard that looks like we care about our home.

We have had a few bumps in our new responcibility of taking care of a house. We DEFFINATLY miss being able to call maintainance when anything needs to be fixed or if we even need a new light bulb. Now it is all up to us, and I feel we have learned to work better as a team. Eldon is finally becomeing one of those "handy guys" that just know how to fix anything that needs fixing.

I love the space that we have, considering that our first appartment in the village could fit in my kitchen/entry rooms and the second appartment the 2 beadroom could fit in my family/laudry area. We have deffinatly come a long way. I have enjoyed being able to have room to decorate for Christmas, this is the first year I have been able to put all of the branches on the tree....Finally I don't have to just shove it in a corner wherever I can find to fit it. Now it sits proudly in the perfect view of the street in my front room.
