A House At Last

So, we haven't blogged about this yet, but we bought a house! We settle at the end of August and will be doing some painting, etc. before moving in. When we get a chance we will take some photos so you can see. It is not a single home :( but a 1/2 double or semi-detached (whatever you prefer to call it). This will be a first home for us in hopes that in 5 years or so we will be able to move into a single home.

Things we will be looking forward to:

• more space
• a tub/shower- Seth will finally move up to taking a bath in a real tub vs. his infant tub he currently bathes in
• no carpet in the bathroom (yes, we currently have carpeting in the apt. we rent!)
• peace and quiet from the roar of traffic we constantly hear
• a fenced in yard
• a sidewalk!- we can finally go out the door and be able to take a walk. Also, there is a nice park within 4-6 blocks
• a place to finally paint and make our own

We were planning on going to visit some of our Iowan friends (that we miss so much) in September but now the house kind of got in the way of things. So, we will keep you updated about when we think we will make the journey. Maybe October or maybe springtime?? Or possibly next summer?
