January is a good month...

So many wonderful things happened in the month of January! For starters, my birthday was January 19th. I was given the day off of work thanks to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It was a nice break and birthday!

Next we bought a house. I waited to mention anything until escrow actually closed. I know how things can happen and I didn't want to jinx it. But escrow closed on January 26th and John and I are now the proud owners of a new home! I took some pictures this weekend of the outside. I wanted to wait on the inside pictures until we have done more work.

The front.


The backyard



John's favorite part...the built in BBQ


My favorite part...the pool


And the final wonderful thing that happened in January....John asked me to marry him and I said yes of course! Unfortunately I tried to take pictures of my beautiful ring, but it's so sparkly that all the picture does is glare. So no pictures. If you want to see it, you will just have to see it in person. It's prettier that way anyway!

Well, we will be busy working on the new house in the coming weeks. I will post pictures when I can. Until then....

Congratulations. I am so excited for you. I am very out of the loop so I only knew a little about the house (from Britt) and nothing else. So this is all very exciting. Woo Hoo!!! Congrats again.
