We are homeowners! Finally!

I mentioned that we had made an offer on a house about a month and a half ago, but things have been so busy since then that I never had a chance to post that they did put an A/C in and we did buy the house- at the end of July. So we have lived in it almost a month now. It is a little out of the way which has it's pros and cons but on a teacher's salary- you take what you can get! Actually we really like it. The house is only 2 years old and has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and a big backyard. It seems like so much space but we love it. Luke has really stepped up as a handy man. He hung shutters on all the front of the house, he mows the lawn, drills holes in things, and hung blinds in the inside. I painted our front door so it would match the shutter but it didn't turn out so good ) : And after spending a day and half on it, I haven't had the motivation to fix it. I have never really painted anything other than small wooden crafts before so I didn't know what I was doing but I figured it couldn't be that hard... Until I started! At one point I called my brother in law Scott and he said "you took the door off the hinges right?" I of course said no. Then he said "Well you took the doorknob off at least right?" I of course said no. So in the end I guess I should have because the tape I used ended up pulling the paint off wherever I had put it. Anyway, that distressed me quite a bit and I haven't been able to get myself into any projects since. But we still need some more furniture and to do more decorating but I'm trying to not be in too big of a hurry. In the meantime we are just throughly enjoying having our own home!
