uncork the imagination...bottle your common sense

I cannot believe a year has passed since I signed my very first lease and prepared to live on my own. What a year it has been....

Although I despise moving with everything I have in me (I believe we did it seventeen total times as I was growing up)...this move both Eric and I are very excited about. I am excited that KJ and Carter are going to have a yard to play in, not an apartment complex sidewalk...and a balcony that faces Rockville Road with its never ending train.

In the past year I've fallen in love with Broadripple and all of its unique charm. It's unlike anything I've ever been introduced to before...hmm....oddly appropriate for this time in my life.

(our cute little address sign..I'm going to redo it with new numbers...but I just love it :)

(the view from the sidewalk leading up to the house)

(our backyard and detached garage)

(the dining room that I'm actually turning into a den/study for grad school and such...) btw...these pictures were taken when the house was still "staged" from the realtor.

(the ONE bathroom...but we'll make it work)

(one view of the kitchen)

(Carter's bedroom...which will be done in a nautical theme again)

(KJ's bedroom...haven't decided what exactly the "theme" will be yet, but I know her walls are going to be be bright pink and purple)

(the fireplace...first time I have ever had one! Yeah!)

(one view of the living room)



(and what possibly may be my FAVORITE room of the house....the playroom for the kids in the basement. Can you believe that built in shelving??? I'm in heaven!)

(and finally...our view from the front porch)

(There is so much more to see...but you will have to wait for the invite
to our housewarming party!!!)
