The beginning of our journey

This is the beginning of our journey. My wife and I (my pressing her) thought now would be as good as time as any to purchase what we have discussed for years. We began our home hunt in early January 2012, our criteria great school district for our son and future children and an antique home with great bones. So in May 2012 we stumbled across our home a great Victorian built in 1896. Follow along as we rebuild our home.
