Smith Family Story: Our First Home

In March of 2006, Mike and I purchased our first home. The house was in Moore, Okla., in a neighbor hood called Baer's Westmoore. It was definitely a starter home. It had 3 bedrooms and two bathroom and a 2 car garage. Saying a 3rd bedroom is a real stretch. It was about 1100 square feet total.

After looking at several homes in our price range, we were very excited about this house. We looked at houses in the scariest neighborhoods and houses that were so run down. We were excited to find this house in our price range...it was a foreclosure.

We did a lot of work on this house for the short time we lived here. We got a new roof, new wood floors (which Mike and Syd tried to install), new tile, new countertops, new sinks and faucets and new toilets. We also did some painting and some hardware updates. Once we moved, we had the house looking pretty good! With our growing family we had to find a bigger house, however we made a lot of good memories at this house.

Here are some photos of the house before we did home improvements....just for memory sake!
