We Bought A House!

We are so happy to share our new house & the adventures everything that comes along with home ownership! 
We came to Colorado knowing we wanted to buy a house & started looking before we even got here. We found our house fairly quickly, but we still ended up staying in temporary lodgings for 3 weeks even with our very quick appraisal & closing! 
Our house is a brand new build in a developing neighborhood. We have so much more space with a big open floor plan, 2 car garage, 4 bedrooms & 2.5 baths! We even have a very large, fenced in yard for the dogs & Greyson to run and play! We don't have grass yet, that's how new our house is! But it should be laid in just a few days! 
I love how open our downstairs is! Perfect for entertaining, which I'm so excited to do! 
I am already imagining all the fun we will have this summer in the yard, with BBQs and yard games. And of course all the holiday decorating in the front when the fall hits! Ah the excitement! 
We have our laundry room upstairs, which is so much more convenient than it being in the basement! Now maybe I won't forget stuff in the washer for days! 
I love the window in Greyson's room! It's so big & lets in so much natural light! He even has his own walk-in closet. For now, we plan to have a guest room & an office upstairs as well, since we are planning on tons of visitors and need a workspace since Greg & I will both be taking classes soon! And of course Greyson and the guest bathroom is right upstairs ready for some cute decor! 
Our room is so big and cozy, not to mention the view out our window! I don't think waking up to the sight of the mountains will ever get old! We have a big walk-In closet and master bath with double sinks and a separate shower/toilet room. 
We are so happy with our house! We got our keys at closing and moved in that night, only we didn't have any of our furniture at all yet. We were in the house with it virtually empty for 5 nights and we learned to use our imagination for lots of things. 
First night in your new house calls for a pizza party and an improvised banana muffin breakfast on the living room floor! We browsed at paint colors, cleaning stuff and blinds, since our windows are all bare. 
Greyson lived watching the guys move all of our stuff in and chatted with them all morning. We have so much stuff to unpack that I can't imagine the house being ready for awhile. 80% of our house is still boxes and random stuff throw places to be sorted. 
It's a slow process but one we're excited about! We have tons of ideas and can't wait to make our dreams into reality. I can't stay off of Pinterest with all the ideas I keep adding to the lists! Stay tuned! Can't wait to show the progress as the house comes along!

    Congrats on the new house!!! You're so making me home sick for CO with those amazing views you've got!!! I love the open floor plan and how bright the whole house feels! You'll get unpacked faster then you think -- as for decorating that's a different story! Fall is a good plan! Can I ask where in CO you are? With your hubby in the military I have a pretty good guess (and based on your mountain view too) but i'm just curious. I lived in Highlands Ranch for 5 years before we moved back home to MI.

      Thanks! :) the unpacking is coming along. I'm sure the decorating will take awhile for sure! 😉
      Highlands Ranch isn't all that far from us. And we are down in Colorado Springs, in the south east corner-ish. So right in the center of all the bases & yes the beautiful mountain views! Lots of fun stuff in the area to check out! Can't wait!
