New house, new job! =D

So we closed our home on June 2, 2015. I looked at my last post and I didn't realize how so much sooner we would be owning our own home. Looking at the list now, I realize I go almost everything I wanted-the kitchen not so much, but am currently working on it.

I also landed a full-time mammography job with Shared Medical Services thanks to Kym Lokken-one of the girls I went to school with! With her referral and my job history I got the offer in May. It's amazing how blessed we have been this past 5 years and hoping for even more blessings for years to come. 

Our new home is a 3 bed 4 bath ranch style home in New Brighton on a cul de sac situated very close to Pike Lake. It needs a little updating but very livable. We had contractors come out right away to knock down the walls on both sides of the fireplace to open up the living room to the dining room. One side of the fireplace consisted of a mantle and now there is really nothing there but lopsided bricks so we are having a stone guy come out and give us an estimated cost on re-stoning it. There are still so much projects to do before we can really be situated! Despite the work, I am ready to tackle them! Here is a list of what has been done and still needs to be done:

• Knock out walls on either side of fireplace to open up the space
• Re-stone fireplace
• Install hardwood floors
• Kitchen cabinets and counters
• Install new toilets and bathroom vanities
• Install crown molding
• Sand and paint wall base, wall trims, and window casings
• White indoor doors with new knobs
• Re-tile bathroom

So much to do but I'm so looking forward to it!
