We're Back!

We're back from an amazing honeymoon to the Bahamas! We had a wonderful time and even got a little bit of sun. It was so refreshing to have a relaxing week at the beach and get away from the cold of Ohio. By the way, it snowed here last night! But it was gone by the time the sun came up. We left for our trip on the 18th of October and came back this past Saturday (the 25th). Yesterday and today the movers have been packing our things at the apartment and are now loading up their truck. It is absolute chaos. In a couple of hours I will no longer be a Cleveland resident but by tomorrow afternoon, a homeowner! Tonight and tomorrow night we are staying in a hotel and tomorrow afternoon we close on our home. This weekend we will be working very hard to get the house cleaned up, painted and ready for the movers on Monday, all while Forrest and I try to get caught up on our work from last week. For now, here are a few pictures of our week in the Bahamas. :)

Our New Home

It's finally here. After months of not knowing when or where we're moving, we finally know! As of October 29th, we will be closing on a home in the Toledo area. I will post some pictures below so that everyone can see what the house looks like. Keep in mind that it was built in 1929 and needs some work. However, we're very excited to move to a home that we know we'll be in for at least 5 years. If any of you have home fixer upper skills and want to come help, we'd love you have you! :) The house is 3 bedrooms/1.5 baths and is two stories, plus a basement. It is situated in a little town outside of Toledo, a block and a half from the center of the downtown area. Here are some pictures of our future home.
