our new house!

hello everyone! i'm sorry for the long gap in blog posts, but our lives have been a little crazy this past month with holiday travels, getting everything finalized to buy our new house, packing and cleaning the old house, etc. and let me just tell you - the process to get everything finalized to buy the new house was far from quick and easy. i have always heard usaa is supposed to be the best bank, but their mortgage department is less than impressive. and i'm just going to leave it at that. as i told my friend, tara - i refuse to blog about the mortgage experience because i don't want to relive that in the future. it was miserable.

we bought a house that was a foreclosure, so we got a really good deal pricewise. however, there's a lot of work that a.) NEEDED to be done just to live in the house and b.) we WANTED to be done just so the house is nicer. i'm going to try my best to keep up with before and after pictures and keep you updated on our projects.

with that being said, here are some pictures of our house before we even moved in. enjoy! :)

Kitchen. They took the appliances with them.

We'll be redoing the cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and floor. Soo... pretty much the entire kitchen! :)

Dining room - connected to the kitchen and living room.
