One year

Today is officially the one year anniversary of Matt and I living in our new house. The house we OWN. I'm 25 years old, I cannot believe I own a house. March 10, 2009 we officially closed on our house and got the keys! Of course, that was a Tuesday and we had to be out of the rental house by the end of the week, so we packed up as much as we could and moved it over that night. By the end of the week we were exhausted and completely overwhelmed. After all, we were supposed to move in a week or two earlier than this date which would have given me plenty of time to clean the house from top to bottom (shampoo the carpets, bleach all the bathrooms, mop the floors) and paint all the bedrooms, but instead we had to do a rush job after work hours which meant making several trips in the dark. To this day we have had the downstairs painted, painted one of the bedrooms, and I have yet to steam clean the carpets or even properly mop the floor downstairs. But it's our house and we love it! I'll try to post some updated pictures later!
