One Red Slate

We had a roofing company by the name of One Red Slate inspect our new home's roof yesterday. We learned that the roof and slate are both in excellent condition, and aside from annual maintenance and the cleaning of the gutters, we are in great shape. Apparently, our roof should last us another 100 years, at least. Ahh, one less thing to worry about!

Another thing we learned about our new house is that the type of slate that we have on our roof is from the upstate New York / Vermont area of our country. We now know that we have stone from the Lake Erie area (MI), slate from the NY / VT area, and residents from OH and MD that will be living there! What's incredible about this thought is how diverse our house is and how diverse Brian and I both are. It is evident in Internationally Known (one of our blog posts) how many incredible family and friends we have all over the country (and the world!), and traveling and experiencing new things means so much to both of us. We really have found our perfect house! It fits us to a 'T'. Our characters, our personalities, and our love are all encompassed in this wonderful home, and that makes it even more exciting to get this show on the road! This new house continues to surprise us and impress us, and while we still haven't officially received the keys, we are ready to move in, get cozy, and enjoy our new home!

(And, yes, for those of you that are wondering, we do have one red slate on our roof!)
