yay new house!!!

we have done it...we signed the papers today. we are now home owners, officially in debt and as my dad says - we are now true Americans :)

the last home owners left as a stack of old letters & photos that they found in a vent! the letters are span the 1920s-end of 30s. isnt that SO romantic. snag - they are all in russian and german to a guy named Wilhelm Bumenthal & we found one document in english stating who is german, but also went to school in Latvia. All postmarked to New York & then to DC on Connecticut Ave. and I guess at some point in our little home. I cant wait to find out what they say. I hope they are love letters (sigh) & kevin is hoping they are spy/war related :) Check our facebook page out for pics of our new place. tomorrow we are going in to spruce it up :)
