19. Own a house

On February 3 we became the proud owners of our own house once again!  We got to finally move out of Cliff's parents' house after 3 months!  Boy, is it nice to have a place to call our own again. 

Unfortunately, we have lots to do to make the house more to our liking/livable.  This house was in pretty sad shape in some ways--like the kitchen! 

Happily, this weekend we were able to get out to PC Richards where Cliff showed off his amazing haggling stills and we bought ourselves an entirely new set of kitchen appliances from GE Cafe collection. 

Hopefully we'll have them for many years.  And our kitchen will start looking more like the one on the GE website haha

And let's just say the previous owners' color choices left a lot to be desired...

There was a lot of green and yellow.  The green actually doesn't look that bad in the picture, but trust me, it had seen better days.

So we've been working like crazy to get this house into a livable state and while it's fun in some ways, it's quite tiring!  Luckily we had a lot of help over the last few weeks to help us get started...I'll get picture of our helpers up at some point...but for now, it's back to regrouting the kitchen floor.  Fun times!
