We bought a house!!

In case you haven't heard...we finally found a house to buy!!! It's perfect! And we are getting some remodeling costs built in with our mortgage, so we're getting a new kitchen and bath out of the deal too. Mark and I have been spending a LOT of time at Menards lately picking out cabinets, countertops, faucets, etc. etc. etc. It's exhausting. We'd pick out something and then try to match it with something else. But that something else would be way on the other side of the store, so we did a lot of running back and forth across the store. We were, of course, on a Grandma/Grandpa babysitter time crunch since they had to get to a meeting at a certain time. That was good though, I suppose, because that made us decide. Otherwise, we might still be standing there staring at the row of faucets. Man, why do they need to have 300 different kinds of faucets. Seriously! Makes you go cross-eyed when you turn down the row.
Tonight we meet with the guy who's going to be doing the majority of the remodeling work for us. We have to see his proposal and mix it with our selected items and come up with a price for the bank. Should make for a long, but exciting, evening.
Now on to paint colors...

Ok We've Arrived!

I've finally decided to keep a blog for us and our happenings and anything else I feel like putting up here. We're busy these days working on buying a house, I'm starting a photography business, and I'm trying to keep up with an almost-4-year-old and a 16-month-old. With all that going on, I should have plenty to talk about!
