We purchased an old historic home in the West 11th Historic District of Dubuque. The home was built in 1890, and completey renovated in '99. It's completely different than anything we've ever lived in before! It's so charming and has so much character with original hardwood floors, built in's, and beautiful wood work. It's a federal style home with 4 floors of living space. The steps aren't ideal with a baby and we were quite bummed not to be able to find something in our price range with a garage, but we hope to make the best out of it and make this new place our home shortly. One of the best things is that it's just 2 blocks away from Loras meaning that Mat can walk to work most days and we can have easy access to go watch football, basketball, and use the college fitness center. We are set to move in on August 17th.
We're finally at "home," or at least our home for now-at my parent's house in STL. We got to sleep in this morning and are enjoying some down time in our pj's....been waaaay too long! I'll post more update and pics in the next couple days but for now it's rest time!

Wow - gorgeous - love it!!! So it is a "row home" since it looks like it shares one wall? I hope I can find a place like this in STL! How amazing that Mat can walk to work!! You guys will get lots of exercise w/ all those stairs, no off street parking & so close to campus!!! Every negative is a positive in some way, eh?! x, Mindy
Wow, you took care of business fast! You just gave me some confidence for what we are going to go through soon enough. I love historic houses, especially the character part. I'm sure you will make it a great home for your family! Enjoy some down time! Bridget
Hey Mat and Keli, the place looks great...and it will be great to be so close to work. congratulations to you both ... job well done.
So I've checked out the distance from your new house to Sundown Resort - 11mi/30min & it's only about $65/day for ski rental & tag! I'm ready to book my winter trip to Iowa now!! :-) x, Mindy
