we're homeowners!

yes, you heard right!  we bought a house in dayton!  first, we apologize for being MIA (on this blog) for the last couple weeks.  we were involved in the semi-stressful roller coaster, yet fun (we loved negotiating!) of buying our first home. second, we're so excited for this new space.  as carrie says in sex and the city (the movie), "just a simple home for two" ... we couldn't agree more!  we move in three weeks from today.  crazy, huh?  we can't believe it either.  it hasn't sunk in just yet, so in the meantime we're going to enjoy these final weeks with our favorites in chicago!

house hunting

we were in dayton all weekend looking for a place to live.  between a few rental properties and A LOT of homes (to purchase), we had plenty to choose from.  it was fun, frustrating, exciting and overwhelming all rolled into one.  fortunately, we have a great realtor and amazing friends to show us around & share advice.  no news to report yet where we're going to live, but we'll keep in touch here.  when not trekking through other peoples homes, we had fun going to a dayton dragons baseball game, eating apple pancakes the size of our heads and visiting little elaine! cutest. baby. ever.

drive to dayton

we're headed to dayton today to look at apartments & houses.  yes, houses...we may buy!  cole has never been to dayton, so my fingers are tightly crossed that he loves it.  well, maybe just really likes it.  the love will come as we make our soon-to-be humble abode a home-sweet-home.  wish us luck!
