Our First Home: Before and After

Two weeks from today, we will be settling into our new home.  With the date closing in on us, I thought it was only fitting to do a before and after look at our first home.

The random ugly bush in the front is gone and the front landscaping is more defined.

There is a recap of the evolution of the house.  Although we questioned quite frequently if we made our decision to buy this house in haste, there is no doubt we have loved our time here.  This was our first space that was all ours, Maya's first house, and our first crack at homeownership.
