Our House!

It's Valentine's Day, and I love you to pieces my Paddy-love for buying me the house of my dreams! xoxoxo

(if you're just visiting, go down one article to see the beginning of the story of Our House!)

The sunroom. I am so happy in this room!

It's Ours!

I am so excited about our new house, I almost cannot stand it! We found it on a kind of fire sale because the previous owners were getting a divorce, so we got a really good price on it and it's beautiful and has a great kitchen and it's only 5 minutes away from Paddy's office or 10 minutes in heavy traffic and it's right near the Maplewood country club and they have lots of tennis courts, indoor and out! Although Paddy's more interested in the golf course which I guess is a really nice one and people hardly even mention the tennis courts, still, he likes to play tennis too and besides I know other people who play tennis too. We've been living in Maplewood and belong to the country club already but we were in a different neighborhood and a smaller house, this has such a great location and don't pinch me because if I'm dreaming I don't want to wake up! I'll post more pictures later, of the sun room and stuff, but I wanted to put this up on the internet so I could show it to my family back in Illinois and all over and now you guys can all come visit me and there's lots of room for you all!
