Our Home.....FINALLY!!!

So after 8 years of living in the same 2 bedroom apartment, Todd and I were finally able to buy a home. I still have a hard time believing that it has really happened. The whole process went so quickly. Seriously it took longer to get Verizon to our house to set up the internet and phone than it did to buy our house. But anyway, here are the pictures I've been promising. Over time we hope to make it our own. I want to thank everyone who helped us paint and fix up the kitchen. It looks amazing. I love it!

Here is the front of our home buried behind all those bushes. 
We've trimmed them for now but eventually they will all go.

This is what is behind all those bushes. 

Here is our backyard. The kids are loving it, and so am I.

This is the kitchen - Before

Here is the after. 
Todd and his friends worked long and hard on it, and it was well worth it.

Wow! Your house looks amazing. I need to come by and see it in person. I am so happy for you and your family. Eight years is just too long to have lived in the Lido apts. I know, I lived there for 2 years myself. Congrats!
