Snow Day

Since I have been in Washington state everyone has told me that the winters here are really mild and its very rare that we get snow. Well we have had an accumulation of snow so many times I lost count. The last snow that we had ended up being a snow day for the local kids and people sledding down some of the big hill in the neighborhood! I don’t think I’m in Kansas anymore … Oops I mean Florida!

This was some super heavy and wet snow! There were trees down all over the place from the weight. But I also have to say it was really pretty since all the tree tops were covered with a white blanket!

Our New House!

This is going to be a post about our new house … I am excited that after a lot of years of renting Scott and I bought our first house. Now I will tell you it was extremely difficult but SO worth it in the end. I am having a lot of fun trying to decorate this house. We also had to buy some new furniture pieces since our house is HUGE compared to the tiny 1 bedroom apartment that we rented in Key West. Land is also a lot cheaper and it was a better option for us to buy. Scotts big requests were to have a basement or garage and be close to base. Well our new house is so close to base you could throw a football over the fence if you tried hard enough.

The house itself was gutted and completely redone. It is a 1912 Craftsmen style home with a 2 bedroom addition. I have been shopping for the past few months and this was the first house I walked into and wanted to stay in. I love it but I felt like it was over priced. Well 2 weeks later it was still on the market so we made our offer. I am finally almost done with the living room – dining rooms. I say almost because there are some fire place accessories that we need since we have never had one before.
