Well we did it – we bought a house! We’re officially old.
No really, I feel as though buying a house aged me several years. Bring on the depends.
So we bought this house: 
…and some parts of it looked like this:
(PS – that’s not our furniture. Tee hee.)
…so then we did some of this: 
(plus lots of painting, furniture-ing, installing, sweating, bleeding)
and now it sort of looks like this: 
As you can see, we clearly have a lot more furniture-ing to do. And still some painting, and yard-ing, and things-on-wall-ing to do. But we’re open for guests, and will greet any visitors (minus the insect kind) with open arms and iced tea!
PS – PLEASE! If you have any decorating tips, I am in DESPERATE need of some decor guidance, and would LOVE to hear your ideas! Leave a comment and tell me what you think would be super cute/fun/fancy!

Love your new home! It’s beautiful! I think you should put a pic of Tam dressed as Frida Kahlo (from some past Halloween) on your blue wall… 🙂 j/k… but then again… not a bad idea.. eh?
