As my Aunt would say, "we are no longer property virgins" and she is correct... We have purchased our very first home the first part of July! We are an official Syracuse resident! We can't express the gratitude, happiness, gratefulness, etc of this home. It's just wonderful... We are loving every minute of it. The biggest project so far has been the yard. This home hasn't been lived in for over a year, so you can imagine what the yard looked like. Unfortunately, I did not take some before pictures, though I do have some "in progress" pictures, both inside and out. (The house has 3 bedrooms - room for 2 more in the basement and 2 bathrooms - room for 1 more in the basement. I only took pictures of one of the bedrooms, as the other 2 are just a storage room / computer room).... (For some reason the top words are highlighted and I have NO idea how to take the highlight off....)

We still have a lot to do, get rid of boxes, put stuff away, more yard work to get it just the way we want, paint inside the house, tile the master bathroom shower (which wasn't pictured...), finish the basement... so on and so forth! The grass, tree's, flowers, etc and looking so much better!!
As the projects progress, pictures will come!
