Things have been very busy lately so updating the blog was on hold, but here we are, back in!
So, back in September we started a journey with a new house for both us and my folks. It has been quite the project as it needed some TLC and extensive renovations in spots. But the lot is wonderful and the neighborhood couldn't be better. As work began at the new place we were even more ready to sell our house (more on this later). Here's a walk through of the new house as it was when we bought it (as you can imagine several months later it is very different inside! More on this later).

As you can see, the bones of the house are good, but much work is needed to make it what we want so that it comfortably houses multiple generations. Many projects and updates to come!
