our new house!

Marty and I feel extremely blessed... God has given us a great opportunity to buy a wonderful house we can call our forever home! Yes I know I am bad that I am just posting now, sorry grad school, work, and coaching track are enough to keep me busy!
Anyways...We are the proud and happy owners of a brand new 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, 2 car garage house in the mountains.  The house is in the area that we have hoped to live for a long time now.  Initially we began looking at this very house last June and have been trying to get it ever since.  We finally closed on February 21st so we have been here for a little over a month now.  We have an amazing realtor and friend Laura who has worked so hard to get us this house.  Marty's parents have been a big part of this journey too and have helped us in so many ways.  Thank you Laura, Mom, and Dad from the bottom of our hearts!

We are absolutely loving every aspect of owning a house vs. a condo.  Just to name a few...
1) we do not have to share walls and ceilings with anyone anymore=peace and quite
2) all the space, oh the space is so wonderful!  everything we own has it's own special place with lots of room to spare.
3) the kitchen is amazing.  i have tons of counter space to do all my cooking and baking, and super high end appliances to assist me.
4) we finally feel at home and comfortable.  we loved our condo but it was just becoming too small and not our style, we were ready for a house to have room for all our friends and family who come to visit, and to someday expand our little family:)
5) no more crazy neighbors all up in our space!

Here are some pics...

Upstairs Bonus Room (like another living room. we have big plans for this space some day) 


There is a bedroom and the bathroom on each side of the bonus room.  We even have a movie/game closet up here too.

Laundry Room, no more stacked washer and dryer in a closet.

We look forward to the many memories we will create in our new home.  We can't wait till all of you come and visit.
