Our new home

We've made the move!  This weekend some of our very, very kind friends sacrificed most of their Saturday to help us move to our new home.  There is absolutely no way we could have done that alone, and we'll definitely be paying them back with lots of backyard cookouts this summer :)  Before showing our projects, I thought you might like to see the new place.

  A driveway!  A yard!  We're definitely excited about those.  We're also anxious to start chopping down that forest that has started growing in our flower bed.  That large tree in front of the fireplace has a power strip embedded in it.  

This patio is bigger than our apartment in DC.  That's no joke.  

Living room

Dining room

Basement

Kitchen.  How do you like our wood paneled dishwasher?  

Obviously there are also bedrooms and bathrooms, but those will come later.  Until then...

Back to the happy

Nothing says, "I'm back to blogging," like my last post.  Sorry for the sadness. 

I'm still extremely sad about losing our baby, and this weekend's holiday doesn't necessarily make it any easier, but at least I have a distraction.

Joel and I bought a house! (cue applause)

We've taken the plunge and are moving to the 'burbs in just a few short weeks.  (Hence the bloggy name change)  Our new casa is definitely a fixer-upper, so I plan on blogging our changes along the way.  I don't have any acceptable pictures right now, but I'll be posting some soon to give all three of you an idea of what we're working with.  We'll definitely make some blunders along the way, but I'm very excited about transforming this house, Sasnett style.  We'll be learning quite a bit, fo sho.
