at last: (august)

after 2 years in the search (and a couple of strikes, here & here).. here she is! our darling little 1927 diamond-in-the-rough! we love her.. she checks all the boxes! god was saving her for us. :)

yes, hubby gave me flowers! & we toasted! :)

here are a few little details..

and thus.. we camped upstairs..

while the work commenced down stairs..

with the help of family & many, many generous friends!

we were soo very blessed & humbled! there is quite the road ahead!
