Our First Home

It's hard to believe it's almost time to say goodbye to our first home. We bought this condo in November of 2006, and Derek lived up here by himself for the first few months. Then after our wedding in the summer of 2007, I moved in. It has been the most perfect home for us for the first three years of our marriage. I remember having sticker stock when we were house hunting (apparently the cost of living between Georgia and DC is a little different..who knew?!) and couldn't believe that we were paying SO much for such a small amount of space, but we have LOVED our little condo. It is where we spent our first days as husband and wife...

it's where we decorated our first Christmas tree together...

and started our own little traditions....

it's where Derek built me a set of shelves in our bedroom...

(the white ones)

it's where we survived our first real snow storms together and I learned my husband's true love for all things weather when he created his very own snow gauge...

it's where Derek learned of my love for all things seasonal...

...it's where we built our marriage. We are SO excited about the next chapter of our lives and what the future has in store for us in Biloxi, but for now we are simply enjoying our final days in our first home. And since the movers are scheduled to be here on June 1st & 2nd, we are currently soaking up our remaining hours in our furnished condo. :)

Hope everyone is enjoying a happy & safe Memorial Day weekend! Oh, and in case you didn't see it yesterday...scroll down for pictures from my baby shower last weekend! :)
