Our Home

For those of you who don't know, once we are married Jeff and I will be living in his house. He lives in what is called a "state house". Since he works for TDC and is a Lt., he has the opportunity to live in a house that the state owns and pays for, hence the name, state house. These homes were built in the 1950's. They are red brick, two bedroom, a duplex and the most important thing, free. I will admit at first I was against living there, mainly because the unit is so close. Jeff and I had several conversations over the issue. I explained my position and he explained his. He understood where I was coming from and listened my concerns, I listened to his. Guess I learned a valuable lesson, I learned that we are in this together. We have to learn to listen to each other and go from there.

Well we are going to be living in his place and we are going to be adding our touch to each room. Today, I went to Home Depot and bought the paint for the kitchen. We are going with a light khaki color on the walls, leaving the cabinets the off white color they are, and I found a really cute curtain for the window. I think that will look great once we get it all finished. I can't wait to go up there and start painting. I know with each thing we do it will make the place more ours, it will make it our home.
