The house we spent nearly 10 months building is finally complete. We moved in at the end of September, and it's been a whirlwind unpacking, organizing and just settling into our new place. This whole thing started a couple of months after our wedding ... we decided it was time to start thinking about our [...]

House Building: Paint Color Selections & Upgrades
We're 39 days from closing on the new house. We're so close, yet it feels like move-in day is still so far away - mostly because Eric and I are anxious and excited to get settled into our new home. If you recall, we started this process right before Christmas 2017. It's been about a [...]
