The Last Week of May

 We bought our first investment property.  It's a cute little house just a few blocks from our house.  We have had our eye on it for some time and made our first offer quite a while ago, but it was quite a long process to closing.  But, it all worked out for the best and we got the keys the 23rd of May.  It needed quite a bit of work, but we really wanted to get it all done and renters in by June 1st, if possible.  Jason was really busy with work and I am useless on most remodeling jobs since I'm so pregnant, but amazingly, we got it all done!  My mom and Jason spent every extra second that they could over there getting it ready.  I did most of the cleaning and the things that I could do while the kids were at school plus dealing with showing it and all the tenant applications/choosing tenants.  It was a long, tiring week, but we are so glad that we got it all done.  We would all go home tired and sore every night and then wake up early the next morning and do it all again.  I'm glad our hard work paid off and we were able to get renters so quickly.  What a blessing.

Here are a few pictures.  I love the big back yard although it needs quite a lot of tender, loving care.
