Does it take a house to make a home?

We certainly hope not! We're pulling for "Home is where the heart is." :)

So, here's the scoop. We terminated the contract on the house many months ago. It was a super hard decision but we know we ultimately made the right one. There were many, many mistakes made on the house some of which changed some of our favorite features of the house. To say we lost faith in the builders is an understatment so after much thought and prayer about it we cut our losses and let the house go.

That left us in a little pickle as we were six weeks or so from the wedding and no place to live. We eventually found a darling loft and we are the first people to live there. It's a great location and we love some of the neat features - exposed brick walls, vaulted ceilings, historic building. We'll get some pictures up in the near future.

It's definitely not a free-standing house and while it is darling, it's not without it's faults. But, for now, it's our first home. If home is where the heart is then we are definitely home!
