The Roundup

For our first year on the Cape, while we settle in and figure everything out, Ben and I decided to rent a house. BUT, after that first year, we hope to buy our very first home (yay!). When we do, I'm painting the front door a super fun color, a la these front doors. I cannot wait to have a place to really decorate.
