Our First House

Chad graduated with his MBA in May 2008, about 2 months after we started dating, and was blessed to get a great job in Lubbock a few months before graduating. So one Thursday afternoon I skipped one of my biology labs and we drove around town with a realtor looking at houses. :) We can't remember if we looked at 3 or 4 houses, but we both immediately fell in love with this one! It has been such a good home to Chad and now to us for that last 5 years! 

The previous owners built the house, and had painted every room a different color, so the house sat on the market for months before Chad found it. Due to this, they'd dropped the price quite a bit! So the weekend Chad signed on the home, we painted the entryway, living room, kitchen/dining, guest bathroom, and master bedroom. This was also the first time I met Chad's parents!

This sweet view greeted us every time we came home for the first 22 months of our marriage!

Master bedroom - located off the entry way. 

Chad and his dad, Charlie, worked so hard to completely replace the master shower after we found a leak Memorial day 2012. They did a great job! 

My Mom and I repainted the master bedroom and bathroom Spring Break 2013 - it's my favorite color in the house - Benjamin Moore's Horizon.
