There's no place like home.

Gwen and I are now homeowners! We closed on our townhouse earlier this month and we immediately started working on it. Currently we are painting and as soon as we finish we'll be ready for new carpet. When the carpet is in we can move in. This has been an exciting adventure for Gwen and I. Having to take care of and be responsible for a house is totally new to us. We are working hard almost every day to get it ready. Mom and Dad came up for the weekend to help us paint and if they did not help us we would not meet our deadline. They were such a huge blessing as they served us. Thanks Mom and Dad! Gwen and I are having a blast working on this project and we both are learning a lot about home repair and maintenance. It has also given me an excuse to buy more tools! Below are some exterior pictures and we'll have some pictures of the inside soon.

Very nice! Homeowning (Mortgage paying) is super fun, but you're right it is a lot of work and definitely teaches you tons. Congrats!

sweet pad! I'm super jealous of the yard. Let me know when Pearl and I can bring our dogs down to poop in it, I hear that will help the grass grow real think and nice!

In all seriousness, the house looks wonderful! I'm really excited for you guys to finally have a place of your own, and do let me know when we should plan on coming for a visit!
