We are home owners!

The new house!

The cute little bell that was left, I'm guessing it's Portland (Maine) Headlight

My favorite part of the house, the kitchen!

So my husband and I bought a house! We closed in late August and are thrilled to be living in such a beautiful, well maintained house! This time last year, I had just moved to Maine with Elijah and by the end of October of last year we were engaged. Crazy how time flies and how much can change in a year. 

I posted just a few photos, but more will follow.  The photos above were taken with my point and shoot camera, which doesn't have the best quality.  I will be posting more and I am in the process of taking photos with my SLR of our new home.

It's really easy to go crazy on Pinterest right now, especially with all this space to decorate! Also, as everyone is well aware, the holidays are coming up and Pinterest is a great site to get diy ideas, obviously. 

Happy diy-ing!!   

Ohhh Fall is almost here!

So the first day of Autumn is tomorrow! I have been looking forward to the crisp fall air, baking apple pies, and making hard apple cider. What's your favorite part about Fall?! Check this almanac website out for facts on fall and more information about the changing of the seasons!

The photo above is of my sister on the deck of the house we were renting this past year.  The views are nice, but looking forward to moving into our new house next week!!! Eeeeek!!! What are your memories and pieces of advice of your experience buying a house for the first time? Exciting? Terrifying? Let me know! There are so many emotions to go along with buying your first house, but we are certainly looking forward to it!

Here's a yummy apple pie recipe to try after you've gone apple picking! Enjoy!
