Our First Home

October 30, 2009 to October 30, 2059

This is our first home and we love it. It is a fixer-upper and will take us years, but so far it's fun. This page will blog our progress and adventures. This is in reverse chronological order.

We saw this house posted on the internet on October 8th and closed escrow October 30th. Below are the original photos from the internet. They DO the home justice.
