Welcome! Come on in! This is the very first post on my very first blog about owning our very first house. So if it isn't clear, there are a lot of firsts here -- which will mean quite a bit of trial and error. And from time to time, I may talk about other stuff on my mind, like crafts or coffee.  Both of those topics are definitely on my mind quite a bit.  Oh, and there might be quite a few pics of our cat, Tuukka.  But she really doesn't mind.
