new things

To all of you who have asked - our new home is closer to becoming a reality. We're closing this week and will start a BIG remodel next week. Needless to say, we both have a new appreciation for people who can spend hours at a time in home improvement stores (cough - dad). It's so fun to dream and plan about a home that will truly be ours. The process can be overwhelming at times, but we're trying to remember this is a lifetime investment. It won't ever really be "done." But, for now we're tackling the bathroom, great room, kitchen, and a garage roof all in a week (with some much needed help from Angie's dad)! It's extreme makeover: welmers edition! :0) Without further ado, here's a picture of the house as it is now... (isn't it cute!?!)
