owning a home

We absolutely LOVE our new house. And slowly we are getting it all put together as our home, one room at a time. While I was visiting my parents for a couple days Jared was hard at work hanging pictures and decorating. I think we found the next HGTV star. He had some help from his mom but she claims that he was still in charge of how it all came together. It looks really good. He finished up the front room and the baby's room. So those are the only pictures we can show for now. 

 

There is a lot more to this room but it is hard to take a picture of everything when the room is so small. But baby sure does have a lot of stuff.

We do have one very big problem that is preventing us from moving in completely: our basement flooded. Yep, the day after we moved in we found that everything was soaked. It was due to over watering the new sod and not properly sealing the foundation. We are fortunate that we found the problem now but it is still a pain to have all the construction guys coming and going all the time. Not to mention the rancid smell of dirty water that plagues my pregnant nose. They are projecting to put it all back together next week so hopefully I will be posting a much better looking picture of our family room. As for today, this is what I am living with:
