Catching up!




I have been really bad about keeping up on my blog, but life gets hectic and there is not much I can do about that! I am just going to briefly summarize whats happened in the past few months.

After Derek and I got back from our Honeymoon we went into summer mode, where we hung out with friends and just enjoyed each others company! We did adopt a puppy, he is a Min Pin and probably the cutest thing you will ever see! His name is Bruiser, and he is adorable. Here are a few pictures of him when he was little.







Derek and I have been looking at buying a house for awhile now. We met with our Realtor in July and started our search then, recently we started a more serious search into finding the correct house. Buying a house is such a big deal, we wanted to make sure we put a offer on a house that is something that we will love and be happy to live in. I am a very picky person, and look for certain things in a house...so it came to my surprise that there were a few houses that were in our price range that I wanted to go look at.

We found a house that was a short sale, and already had an offer on it. But we really liked it and put an offer down as well, after a week we realized that this house isn't meant for us, and we should keep looking. A week later I finally convinced Derek to come look at this beautiful house that I was completely IN LOVE with. We went and looked at it on Saturday January 14th, put an offer down on the 15th and they accepted the offer that day. Since the house is brand new and never been lived in, things have moved at a faster pace. We closed on February 23rd, and started moving in that night.

 I only have pictures that they were using online, but hopefully soon I will have better pictures to share. In the meantime here is our very first house!




There is a front yard now, but the back we will work on this summer.











The aren't the best pictures, but they will do for now.
It has been over 4 months since we have moved in and I feel like we have done nothing to decorate our house. I am hoping with in the next few months we will make some progress.

I hope everyone has a great day, and I hope to update this blog more often!
