1. After a lot of blood, sweat and tears, it's ours, we pay our own mortgage, not someone elses!
2. We can roll on the carpet without wondering what's been spilt on it, whose cat or potty training child has peed on it, how many muddy shoes have walked on it. Only ours, and our guests.(There was a picture of our car in the garage here, but I accidently deleted it. I'm tired and am not going to fix it.)
3. We don't have to walk three blocks from our carport to our front door, we have a garage! One of our first goals was to get enough boxes out to fit the car in. It only took 2 weeks.
4. Tile under the table. No more getting the Resolve out after every meal.
5. I don't have to be showered and ready for the day to drive the kids to the park. I can just shove them in the back yard, snuggle up on the couch in my robe, slippers and watch Oprah. (Yeah, like that really happens)
6. I now have somewhere to put our food and a way to keep the kids out. We have a pantry, with a lock.
7. I never have had to go to a laundromat, but I have been using stackables for the last several years. I can get the laundry done in half the time now.
8. I no longer have to listen to Joel complain about my hair in the sink. We have double sinks in the master bathroom and a little place to sit in between to do my makeup.
9. You get a two-for deal here. Look past the mess and appreciate the fact that we have this little section (that holds boxes we need to unpack for now) that we haven't figured out what we want to do with... what... extra space! The second part is the big-ol' window. We now have some natural sunlight coming in our home because we have big-ol' windows all over the house.
10. Finally, you have to look close to notice this one, but our furniture is not touching eachother, or the walls, and there is nothing stored under them either. Wow, it all fits!I hope you have enjoyed my little tour, and you are all invited to come visit anytime you are in the Sacramento area.

Congrats again on the house, we will need to come see it person some time!
The paint and the carpet look really good together! It looks like a really nice house.
Wow, congrats on the house! That's very exciting!! One day maybe I'll get one, too. :)
Great post! I think my favorite picture is the furniture "not touching". That really is exciting. How nice to have so much more space, and a garage and attic too!
Now that we don't have to all fit into the tiny front room of your apt. and the fact that we are due for a lil vacation will be motivation to come visit. Congrats!!! Can't wait to see it in person!
Very exciting! Can't wait to visit.
Congratulations! Your house looks really nice, we'll have to come and see it in person soon!
YEAH!!! We are so happy for you guys!! It really looks so great! I am sorry that you haven't been feeling well, but congrats on the baby! Hopefully the sick stage will pass soon.
Love your place. Thanks for the pics. It's it great having all that room! We've been in ours for over a year and we still have boxes in the garage to unpack. But who cares?
