Movin' On Up!

The happy day has come when Dustin and I can now say we are official homeowners!! We've worked hard to save those pennies but we realize how blessed we have been over the past year to be able to get to this point. The Lord is faithful! However, the work is far from over my friends. We have decided to venture into a world unknown to us...well..me. A world of dust, dirt, smells and just plain ugliness! Yep, we bought a fixer upper! An 1880's farm house to be exact. As scary as some of it looks, it's got character and we are very excited to give it some TLC to bring it to it's full potential! This will be a great time of stretching and molding of our minds, attitudes, and relationship.. and we are up for the challenge!
Pray for us.. :)


The day of our settlement! Our first housewarming gift
from our realtor. A loaf of bread.... the only thing we will be eating
for the next few years.

Stepping back to the 1950's.
Anybody wanna trade kitchens?



Yes, this dinning room has been hand painted.
a rare find...


A close up of the fine painting
I call it "throw up on a wall"


This room has already been turned into....

this.... i dunno..do i scream in horror?




Our windows! ..done with a plastic finish.

It's going to be a hard yet fun journey. And as much as we will make fun of our new
home... (it's only healthy) we are sooo thankful for it!
And with Dustin's expertise and provision of this project I know the house will look
so beautiful when we are finished
