Our New KY Home

Barak & I are officially homeowners!
We signed the offer on our first home in an office at Barak's med school 15 minutes before the start of a school ceremony and the day after I had gotten back from CA.
12 days later, we closed on our house and moved in... what a miracle!

We did a walk through the day before closing - the sign never did say "SOLD"... bummer!
Our new little home!

We closed on Friday, Aug 22 at 9 am. Within a few hours we had everything moved in, with the help of about a dozen med school friends and this crazy semi-truck.

A bunch of our friends who helped move us in - in exchange for some pizza.

Our little house on a hill.

The living room & bathroom, pre-move.

Our backyard, complete with rabbits, birds, squirrels, and even an albino squirrel that lives in  our trees!

Barak caulking our tub.

I finally got to unpack all the dishes we got as wedding presents - this was my favorite part of moving in!
Our kitchen - the house came with brand new stainless steel appliances. Barak surprised me by asking for a gas stove (because I love them) and he installed the line for it himself.
Our living room with our first set of matching furniture... it's starting to feel like a home now!
We've spent the first week in our new home doing a LOT of projects before school gets too busy for Barak. This was the one he got the most excited about when he finished - he moved the dryer, hooked it up to gas, and created a vent for it to the outside!

That's our new little home - come visit anytime!
