House Tour 2016

As of tomorrow, we officially been in this house for six years. Over those six years, this house has been the home that we brought both our sweet baby boys home to, the home that hosted both of their first birthday parties (and a few others after that), the home that transformed Josh and I from a couple to official parents. This home has witnessed so much laughter, some tears, and lots and lots of memories. But it is finally time to make memories elsewhere (or at least I hope so!). We are finishing up our financing and then, if everything goes according to plan, we should be putting our house on the market next month..AAAHHH!
It seemed only appropriate, then, to take one final house tour and check in on the progress we've made in the past year.  And just for fun, I also tried to grab pics from what our house looked like one year after we moved in (turns out I didn't take any pictures when we first moved in...a mistake I wont make again when we move!)

Well there she is...our abode, crica 2016. I must say looking back at the pictures I'm pretty please with the way it has evolved over the years, and I'm pretty proud with the product we'll be putting on the market (especially because we're listing it, per realtors' recommendations at about $50,000 more than we bought it for and have made no major upgrades...only minor, cosmetic ones). 

In all respects, this house has been good to us, but it's on to the next one...wherever that may be!
