Our First Home!

Picture 1: The drive to Baltimore. It is a really nice drive! Once you get past NY the roads are nice, the trees are pretty, and there isn't much traffic. Baltimore is actually a prettier city than one would think. I am very excited to start exploring it.
Picture 2: The front of our house! Yeah! Nick and I decided to get a new black mailbox, front light, and paint our door black. Nick says he will paint the cornice black as well, but we will see how that goes. Oh and in case you wished to know; the houses on each side of us have a stone veneer face. It's a baltimore thing. Meaning, they are brick faced as well, but someone a long time ago thought this veneer made the house look prettier. Can't figure out why...
Picture 3: Our back yard. haha We'll we don't need a fence, but we will add another layer of cinder blocks to one side, and get those cheap, plastic panels to slip into the wire fence. Just need a little more privacy. Nick says he might want to turn it into a parking pad. We'll just have to wait and see if that is possible.

So there it is! The inspection was PERFECT. We only have 3 minor problems (as in we need a drain pipe for our gutter and to re-chaulk a corner of our tub). Everything else is really new and in great shape. By everything I mean, furnace, A/C, alarm system, vents, appliances, etc..We are very excited about that.

Technically, here in Providence, we are living in the city. We are only 1/2 mile from downtown..doesn't seem like that sometimes, but in Baltimore, we are really city living. There are perks to that, and downsides, but we are excited!! We went over to our new friends/neighbors house while down there and they are VERY excited that we are living downtown. We are only 5 backyards away from eachother! She said that she does free Yoga every Saturday morning at the Pagoda in the park...We'll see how yoga and me get along :)
