Welcome to my first house!

When I was 24, my husband Dave, my daughter Rosie, and I moved into our first house. It was a nice change from our small, two bedroom apartment. When the real estate agent told us that we got the house (there was a bidding war) I started crying - happy tears. We bought a 3 bed, 1 1/2 bath, semi-detached house, WITH an in ground pool and hot tub! We are located across the street from a new French Immersion elementary school, a playground, and splash pad. We are minutes away from our favorite grocery store, church, shopping mall, and highway. And that's not all. Our neighbors are wonderful (more about that later!) My Mother put it best when she said "You hit the jackpot!" and Dave's grandmother said "It's perfect! Why would you ever need to move?" Ya, we're pretty lucky! Now all I need to do is make the inside perfect! Here's some pictures of the house before we did any changes.
