Our Home: Part 1

As most of you know my Hubby and I purchased our first home recently. Read about it HERE. Well many have been asking for pictures of the house. It is a HUD home, meaning we bought it as is and need to fix it up. I have the before pictures and then the after pictures as of May 4. It is amazing how much Hubby has done. He has done all the work himself. I can take no credit. He does have some amazing brothers who have helped out as well. Thanks guys! That roof would not have gotten fixed without your help. Now onto the pics.

Here are the before pictures first.

This is Miss Priss's room. He had to replace all the wood on the floor.
Sorry no before of this one, but it was REAL bad.
There was a lot of water damage, 
which was why he replaced the floor boards.

He ripped out the carpet and painted the floors brown

Friday is the big moving day!
I am so excited!
I was at the house today cleaning a little and I unpacked a few boxes.
It was so fun thinking I will be cooking dinner there on Sunday.
I am thankful for a hubby who seriously CAN do anything he puts his mind to.
He amazes me everyday and I love him so much.

Thank you honey so much for helping to make this house a home.
I love you so much and love you for all the work you have done.
I thank you for the long days you have put in, while working on this house.
For the littles things you have added to the kitchen, because you knew I would appreciate them.
You blow me away everyday with your thoughtfulness.

I love you and thank you thank you thank you!

hope you all are having a wonderful week so far.
Happy Monday!
