We're homeowners!

We just got home from a long night of painting our very first (owned) place. On Friday we were handed the keys to our condo, and we couldn't be more excited. We bought a two bedroom, two bathroom condo in the town where we both grew up, close to where we both work, and close to our families.

We have been dreaming of the day that we could paint our walls any color we choose. After four years of living in the beigeland of our apartment, painting was a welcome prospect. We were hoping to get everything done over the weekend, but we came across a few glitches which I'll get to later on this week.

For now, here's some "before" pics that show the place on Friday.

It's kind of hard to get a sense of the place from pictures, but we're really happy with it. Scott made a video tour of the place, but it's pending approval from me before it goes up on the blog (I haven't watched it yet, but I know I make an appearance). Possibly tomorrow.
