Well it is finally official! Christian and I settled on our house Monday April 30th, 2012. Tons of emotions run through your body while sitting at that big round table literally signing your life away! I could not wait to get back to the house and just sit out on our porch and process the fact that we had just bought a home. Of course when I got there my Mom, Step-father, and brother surprised Christian and I with champagne, shrimp, and strawberries! Christian had other plans as he immediately started to take down a very large cedar tree that had grown right up against the house.
Every day that week I couldn't wait to get off work and head straight to the house. We started the demoing process Wednesday night and worked till about 11:00pm. We had a ton of help from friends and family and we got the place completely ripped apart in a matter of days! We were hoping to find hidden treasures but unfortunately we were not lucky enough. We did unveil two large bees nests (see below), an old WAWA coffee cup that had been buried behind some drywall, and a very old Union Memorial Hospital glass canister. We worked our BUTTS off the first weekend and got a tremendous amount of work done. A big THANK YOU to everyone who gave up their Saturday and Sunday to be at the house helping Christian and I tear everything down!
