The First State

After lots of unpacking, hanging pictures, and cleaning, we are finished moving into our very first house!

The kitchen (which is open into the dining room) is the project room; we'll call these the "before" pictures.

The dining room opens right up into the living room, which is by our front door.

And this is the TV stand that Joel MADE!

There's also a laundry room that leads into the garage, and a little powder room on the first floor.

At the top of the stairs is the guest bathroom... in which we have not yet figured out how to turn on the shower. Good luck to our first houseguests (haha, Tim and Nicole!).

Here's our hallway. There's a linen closet and our bedroom door on the right, and the office and guest bedroom on the left. Plus, Calvin loves his new home!

We love the high ceiling in our master bedroom, the his and hers closets, and the attached bathroom... even if we do miss our double sinks!

That's it! We love it and are so blessed to be able to live in such a nice house in an awesome location! Hopefully, I'll have some "after" pictures of the kitchen in about a month.

One last thing - I am thrilled to announce that I am an auntie! Joel's brother and sister-in-law welcomed their first baby into the world yesterday. We cannot wait to meet our niece! What a blessing!
