Our House!

Labor Day weekend of 2007 we recieved the keys to our new home. We bought a cute little townhouse in Portland. We thought that it would be great to try and do as many stressful things as possible...plan a wedding, buy a home, and then try to get the house all painted and ready for our family to see when they were out for our wedding! We had 3 weeks to paint the house before we needed to move our stuff out of our apartments. We painted every room, even the ceilings, in the whole house except the guest room...we'll worry about that later. We moved all our stuff from our two apartments and began the long process of unpacking and setting up while still working full time. Jason stayed at the house for the two weeks before our wedding, after which, I got to move in! Now that all is said and done, we're glad we did it the way we did but it definitely was a lot to take on at the same time. Being a first time home buyer, we both learned a lot in the process. Although there are things we wish we could have done differently, we both feel very fortunate and blessed to own a home.
