Update on the house

So I know a lot of you are wondering how the house is coming along....and if you're not, then here's pictures anyways! :) Its been 3 weeks since we've moved and I know its not much, but its slowly becoming "our home". It helps that the fall season has arrived with the cold weather and the hickory smell in the air. I am so much more motivated when its in the 60's outside than when its the 90's outside.

Well, here's some pictures of some areas that are "finished" like I like them. Granted the guest bathroom still has a painted border that I have to paint with french sayings on it. I'll post pics when that gets done....

Here's the Paris themed guest bathroom

And of course "The Great Room" aka the living room

A New Beginning

So the main reason why I haven't kept you all updated with our family lately is not just because of the hurricane. We had to reschedule Joshua's birthday party, and this Saturday we are moving to a new house!

This is a good move for us as it is a bigger house and sort of a new beginning. Our current house is 1500 sq. feet and with almost 5 in our family and a dog it gets pretty small really fast. Plus, it was our first house and there are a ton of things we learn that are essential in buying a house - like having linen closets! The new house is a little more than 2300 sq. feet and has 4 bedrooms with a children's play retreat upstairs. That means no more living room as their play area!! I can finally have a clean and representable living area and kitchen.

Its been crazy with all the other things going on, but its a true Godsend. We will be closer to our friends from church and Joshie's close friend, Daniel. All in all, we needed more space and something that could feel like "home". If you ever want to come and visit, we've got the room for you now!!! LOL.... Here's some pictures of the new house. Keep in mind the houses next door are still being finished. Hope you like them. If you want to know our new address, just email me. :)
