The American Dream


Once we got home from Italy, we couldn't sit still for long... We decided that we wanted to pursue the American Dream of being homeowners. After over a month of searching, we discovered this cute bungalow in South St. Louis City. It has everything that we wanted, more than one bathroom, a fireplace, and a kitchen that didn't need to be gutted the moment we moved in! We have an accepted contract and are in the process of inspection and financing and if all goes well, we will close on August 16th.

It will be difficult for me to leave this apartment after almost four years as there are a lot of memories (good and bad) to leave behind, but we are very excited to make this place our new home... It will help that the orange walls will be coming with us... If only I could find a place to paint stripes... And I almost forgot the best part! Our annual Halloween party will have new meaning as this house backs up to a cemetery... We won't even have to decorate!
