Ok so I know that you guys have waited very patiently! So I will cut to the chase!
This is a (very blurry…sorry I didn’t realize it!) picture on me in front of our NEW HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this one better?!
MAYBE?! That is right Adam and I are Homeowners!!!!!!!!!!!! EEEKKKK!!!! Well, today we are officially the owners of my grandparent’s house! My grandfather sold us the house officially today after I got home from work. It is a 3 story (not including the basement that we are making into a gym) home with 5 bedrooms and the hook ups for 3 full baths. It will take a while before we actually live there as we have to clean out it first, all of my my grandparesnts stuff is still there. After it is cleaned out, we are going to gut it to the studs and then build it to be our dream house. I can’t believe it! It has been quite a year for us!!!!
In the past 12 months:
1. We got engaged- happiest day of my life. After 10 years with Adam, realizing I was going to get to spend my life with him was amazing!!!
2. I began Graduate School.
3. I started my blog, which is a big deal in our world!
4. We bought a house!!!!!
I would say it is a good year!
This is our first picture together as homeowners!!!
We wen to the Warren Tavern to celebrate after the signing was done! It is our favorite local bar! Our friends Melissa and Kevin met us there. I had an Octoberfest to start (and ended up having 3…I WAS CELEBRATING!)
For my dinner I got broiled scollops with wild rice and grilled asparagus. It was so good. I eat almost all of it!
When I got home I had two packages waiting for me. I unpacked them and look at all the loot!!!!!!!
Yeah, it was alot! I got 6 ice coffees!!!!
You know I am excited to try these! I LOVE COFFEE!
Pacific also sent me a bunch of different broths! Can’t wait to make soups in the cold weather- which is here!!!!!
and for when I am being too lazy to make soup, I have a bunch of soup made by Pacific to eat!!!!!!
Every single one looks amazing!!!
I will not have to buy Almond Milk for a while either!
Thank You so much Pacific! I cannot wait to try all of this stuff!
You know I celebrated with a little dessert!
Small Cookies left over from Adam’s Dad’s birthday.
A few mini peanut butter cups…they were calling my name 
and some Chamomile tea! YUMMM!
Well, I am off to hang out with Adam (follow homeowner hehe) and Oscar (our tenant) and watch some TV.
See you in the morning!!!!!!!
***EDITED**** I forgot, I went for a 3.2 mile run today too!!! I can’t believe I forgot my run!
