We're in!

We plunked down our money, signed our lives away, and got the keys to our first house! It is so exciting! We are really happy with the home and have spent the last several days unpacking, buying furniture, gardening, and using our very own dishwasher! (This was Jocelyn's happiest addition as we haven't had a dishwasher yet in our married lives.) The house is still very much in process, but we have some fun projects planned and are trying to just take our time and enjoy every step. We have new living room furniture (super comfy) and a beautiful dining room table, so that is fun, plus David did his first home improvement project by converting drawers into a built in garbage holder for me. We have not attempted any projects of Randy DeGreef proportions yet, but maybe soon! :) Another bonus of this house is that the previous owners worked really hard on a garden, and now everything is getting ripe, so we get to eat it! (It does seem unfair to eat the fruits of another person's labor, but they moved to Stevens Point and I don't think the postal service allows the sending of produce.) We have cucumbers, several varieties of tomatoes, onions, squash, beans, and maybe pumpkins. So even for someone who is not a huge veggie fan, it is exciting to go out every day and find more goodies. I'm sure we'll have more adventures and projects to post about, so TA-TA FOR NOW!

PS. Notice the quick turn around since the last post. This may be an all time world record for the Pinkerts!
