Our first home!

I can't believe it, but Jason and I closed on our first property together! He has done most of the work, and has blown me away with it all.  He even went over with the new keys and cleaning supplies in hand and prepped for the move.  I am leaving New York State for the first time, (well, with all of my traveling I don't know if I can really say that) but my Zip code is officially changing. How will I change to 0----?? I'm going to be a Jersey girl! Weird. But Awesome. I am in love with the neighborhood already and I could only part with my dear Astoria to a neighborhood that rocks. Cobblestone streets, brownstones, and two sweet parks within walking distance.  We have a penthouse apartment with a rooftop, two bathrooms and are steps from the water and train. We can even take ferry home! Very British Columbia for my BC boy.  The apartment isn't all fancy and modern but is a diamond in the rough ready to be shined up.  Perfect for us. We'll take care of that.

High Ceilings

Love the Spiral Staircase

A Perfect NYC view

Bathroom #1-begging for a reno-though I love the little B&W tiles

Master Bath-also begging for a reno

Fireplace-yes, I said it before and I'll say it again-will be renovated. HGTV is my best friend right now.

One Bedroom

I can't believe I won't be there to say goodbye to my Queens apartment that I love so much and that all of us have had fond memories in. But being away for the goodbye is probably for the best because maybe I'll feel like I can always go back.  I did say I would never leave unless we bought something and I spoke the truth! I need to be careful with that. Thank you to our parents for blowing us away with their help, support and generosity! There is no way we could do this without them

We are thrilled. :)
