THE FLAKES ARE MOVING

We got adventurous and purchased a foreclosed house. It was a cute ranch style house in a great tree lined street. There is a lot of work to be done, but when it is done it will be a perfect for our family. Things finally closed and we got the house a week ago. We haven't stopped since. We are putting in new flooring, ripping down wall paper, spraying kitchen cabinets, painting every paintable surface, and on and on and on. We have had a lot of helpers and it is looking great. It is amazing what paint can do. I'll post some pictures as we go. We can't wait to move in.

Thanks for the pics, Brooke! The wallpaper is (was) lovely...can't imagine why you didn't leave it up.

new homes are so much fun, but a lot of work! But, when all is said and done it means so much more and feels so much more like you're home when you put all that work into it! Can't wait to see more pictures! Have Fun!

Knew I would eventually find you on a blog. Your Christmas card was so cute. I still remember hanging out with you in Provo and how bummed I was when you guys moved. I am so happy for your new digs. Lets get back in touch, more than Christmas cards.
