You want to live here???

My husband and I started to look at homes the fall of 2008. We had looked at a handful of homes and after feeling a bit discouraged we decided to wait awhile before we moved on with our search. Winter rolled around and we started searching again,"we're not very patient people."

I would find a home here and there that i wanted to look at and then he would find one here and there, but there was this one that he kept going back to. I finally decided to take a gander at this home that we just had to check out in person. I'll never forget that feeling of "what??" You would want to live here?? I'll be completely honest I was not feeling this home at all. The color, the set-up, the driveway. I thought to myself there's no way I'm living in that home....and about two months later with the keys in our hands we were proud owners of this "You want to live here home!!!"

I have to say the moment I walked in the front door of this home I was in love! I never thought that i would be saying that; but I am I'm so in love with this Home!!! So...Life On Ridgeway begins...

The neighborhood, the park, the nearby pool. Kids laughing and playing. The quiet at night with just a slight sound of the interstate off in the distance. I knew that this is where i wanted to start a family, to nest and make this house our Home.

While renovating and decorating and making this home feel more and more like us 2009 flew by us before we could realize where it went. In early 2010 we decided to tackle the basement..."what were we thinking?" We started tearing out the walls, pulling up carpet and peeling off that retro wallpaper and then we got a little "Surprise"...this family of (2) was about to become (3).
