moving up

Well, let me just tell you this; there are two things I'm quite sure of.  Numero uno - I am not a good blogger. And B - fixing up a "fixer upper" is a lot more challenging than I thought it would be.  Lucky for the Hansen fam we have amazing family and friends to help us along in this endeavor.

A few months ago Brandon and I started feeling extra sick of apartment living, I'm actually quite sure we had a wild pack of dogs living in the apartment above us.  Although we had about 6 months left on our lease, we had to see what was out there.  Well, we have this super amazing friend Michelle who is a real estate agent.  I was just checking out her website and found an amazing and I mean AMAZING deal on a house that is close to where we still live.  I called Michelle and we went to look.  Now, this house really needed some work, but I thought "Hey, Brandon has already done this once.  I'm sure he'd love to do it again!"  To make a long story short, we bought the house and it is awesome.  The 'B' word graffitied on the brick fireplace is even starting to grow on me.
