Our first home (and first MAJOR purchase!)

In March of 2011, we made the leap and decided we were ready to be in debt for many years -- so we purchased our first home! We were very lucky to find a builder that was affordable in a great location and we have loved making it our own (although we're NOWHERE near done!). It's a great size and we knew we'd definitely be able to grow into it once we start a family. Patrick really enjoys working in the yard -- he can have all the credit for how great he keeps it manicured :) Here is a pic of the outside when we first moved in.

 This is the crepe myrtle that Patrick's parents bought us for our housewarming gift!
