Homeowners!

Welcome to 2909 Sunflower Drive! Our First Home!

So we became Homeowners right when we got married and it was fabulous! I loved our cute little house on Sunflower Drive. It had a lovely yard and was just the right size, not too big, 3 bedrooms. I decorated my kitchen with Strawberries and Lemons (thanks to Sam Bowen) and my hubby built the beautiful pergola over the back patio because it got so hot last summer. He's so talented! So this was our humble abode for a little over a year....didn't think it would only be that long.

AND now.....our first little home is SOLD. Yup, crazy! Bought and sold it already. Movin on to greener pastures or....snowyer fields?? yup...NORTH DAKOTA!

Welcome to 923 13th Ave West, Williston, ND

Kitchen BEFORE (pretty plain jane, too white for me)

Kitchen in STAGE TWO (painted cabinets and walls)

Phase 3 is coming...Hubby is doing granite counters and tile backsplash!

Bathroom before and after soon to come also (after Hubby's handiwork!)

And this is our new place. It was built in 1952 with the original metal cabinets in the kitchen...which I painted because the white was terrible.

And that's that! We really are pleased with it, seeing as how we purchased it without ever physically viewing it!!

That's why we are in Williston, ND. Great job opportunites for Wade and I, but because there are SO many jobs, there are thousands of people flocking here, but there is no where to live. Hence why we purchased our home without physically seeing it. It was a for sale by owner, we saw, we called, we bought! Pretty slick, not really, but it all worked out!

We are probably the only one in our ward who found and purchased a home (being newbies to the area) everyone else lives in 5th wheels or hotels (if they are lucky enough to get into one) or they pay $2000 a month for a tiny apartment! No joke! it's outrageous.

But on a side note, I feel pretty grown up already having bought my 2nd home!

Crazy being a grown up!
