New House

This is my very first blog.
Here is a picture of the outside of our new house. We closed escrow on Aug 15, 2008 and moved in over that following week. We have now been here for 5 months. We've had fun decorating and finding spots for our things. Within the first couple of months we replaced some of the flooring that we didn't care for. We now have wood laminate flooring in the entry, kitchen and all 3 bathrooms. We also replaced the white tile and white grout countertops in the kitchen with black granite. I'll post additional pictures.
