Moving On Up

To the northeast side of Columbia! We are now residents of Chapin, SC.

This post has been a long time coming. Months ago we looked at a house that was brought to our attention because of the great price. That house didn't work out but while price comparing Pat stumbled across another one he fell in love with. After lots of back and forth, and ups and downs we finally got the house!

To make a long story short, there is A LOT of work to do. The previous owners were forced to sell and when they left they took everything with them...everything! Some days I look forward to being able to make this house "our home" but most days my obsessive compulsive need to get things done takes over. I am trying to take it one room at a time.

The house is located within 10 minutes of both of our parents and a 30 second car ride to the marina! It sits on a 1.12 acre wooded lot with a 3 bay car port and a huge garage/man cave. Finally Pat has somewhere to store his most prized possessions, his jet skis! The features that sold me were the front porch, the HUGE kitchen, and his and hers walk-in closets. The his/hers sinks and toilets were an added bonus - I know 2 toilets is weird but really ladies, you know you are jealous!

I am giving myself a good year to get things the way I want them and focusing on the many memories we are going to make here. Be prepared for long periods of time in between posts because we spend every spare moment working, working, working!
