my sweet first home:

you guys.

i'm selling my first home. i bought this house about 2.5 years ago after falling in deep, deep love with it. it's a tiny little bungalow in the heart of a happenin hood, and i hope whoever buys it will be as absolutely happy in it as i was. 

now don't get me wrong-the construction-on both sides-was not fun. but when i think about where i was when i bought it, and where i am now, it was all so worth it. i found independence there, i found my life partner there, i overcame so many personal and professional challenges there, and i've come out the other side with so many treasures and know-how. 

while it's not the way i lived in it...check out a few snaps of the little love shack all staged and ready for selling. 

i can still remember the very first time i walked into this house-it was on the market and i COULD NOT believe that it hadn't been swooped up yet. i immediately put in an offer and on my birthday, three years ago, it was mine! i learned what a sump pump was in this house (for better or worse), i repainted every square inch of this house, i even had my wedding reception in this house. it means alot to me. and one day, i can't wait to drive our kiddos by this house and tell them all the wonderful stories about a love that blossomed here.
