We bought a house!!!

Matt and I are officially home owners. It is kind of strange, yet exciting. We closed on April 30th and had some problems getting the water turned on and other things, but it finally is all set to go. It was a foreclosure and had been empty for quite a while, therefore we are taking our time moving in. My sister Donna, and her five kids came over and helped us clean. It is pretty dirty and there is dog hair everywhere. Thanks Donna for your help!! It was great!! Her kids were awesome, they have too much of her OCD personality in them that they were so excited to clean and were constantly wanting to do more and help out. We are almost finished with cleaning and yesterday our carpets got cleaned and the house looks so different and so much better just with those few changes. Here is a picture of the outside. I will post more of the inside as we get more appliances and furniture moved in. (BTW, the neighbor was kind enough to leave his cars in our driveway while the house was empty)
