Well, we finally made it into our new home! I keep telling Kev that I feel like we're playing house, it's been surreal. Needless to say we are extremely grateful. The very first night.. as we ate our bowls of cereal (a nightly ritual for us) I was giddy just thinking about the next chapter of our life here. Along with excitement came the reality of a mortgage, utilities, and countless other adult-y things.. but let's not dwell on the negative :) In addition to a new home, Kevin and I both started new jobs.. he will be at a software company called Mozenda and I will be doing some CNA work, so we're kicking off the new year with a fresh start. Last night I had a hard time sleeping, so I jotted down a few personal goals.. I'm excited for what 2014 has to offer and hope to improve myself some. Here are a few pictures of the place. Unfortunately they can't paint the exterior until it warms up, so part 2 will be coming atcha once it's completely finished. Cheers to a new year!

PS. If anyone is looking to build, I would highly recommend RC Dent. Working with them was a breeze! Not to mention that most of their standard features would be upgrades elsewhere. They also finished on time AND on budget, which is unheard of. Double thumbs up from us (insert thumb emoticon here).
