All Moved In!!

It's been a CRAZY month this month, so I apologize for the delay on this post.

The month began with Ted getting sick, then I got sick and then we had to say goodbye to my grandfather after he suffered from a stroke. To add salt to the wounds, we ran into issues with our loan 24 hours before we closed, so it's been a crazy and hectic and crappy month so to say.

BUT we are moved into our house and that trumps it all of the negative things we’ve been dealt with this month.

We love, love, love our house. Absolutely love it. And it’s finally OURS! It was the greatest feeling in the world to sign those papers and officially become home owners again.

Our walk through with our builder was Tuesday, January 14th. We didn’t find too many things for them to fix (just a few paint touch ups that were needed and that was about it). And our builder even gave us a present:

They gave us roses, a bottle of champagne, a bottle of wine, wine glasses, bottle opener and stopper, koozies, t-shirts and cookies! And of course, the home warranty.

And we had a visitor that night, as well. My adorable nephew, Hayes, my sister, Laura and brother-in-law Kellen.

He was pretty excited about the new house…probably because it was empty and there was plenty of room to run!!!

I love how the house turned out. And that all of our choices were brought together and they work well together!! I was really nervous about whether or not our selections would look okay and they turned out better than I could have hoped for.

So for your viewing pleasure - - - - Our New Home!!!

The basement hasn’t changed at all so I didn’t take pictures of that. We hope to start finishing it soon for even more room (Not that we know what to do with more room at this point).

Now for the dogs…

The dogs love the house. They went nuts when they got here because there was so much room to run and play. Rainey looked a little scared and lost at first, but the minute we brought her dog pillow into the house, she was on cloud nine! Rosco loves running up and down the stairs.

Our first sunrise at the new house. The sunrise and sunsets are gorgeous out here. Not sure if they always have been or if it’s because I can now SEE them to appreciate them. I love how peaceful it is out here and I can’t wait to get all settled in.

If you are ever in our neck of the woods, stop out and say hello. We’d love to see you.

Thank you so much for all of your kind words and support during this whole process. I’m so thankful for our family and friends who have stood by us and encouraged us when we felt like giving up, lending a shoulder to cry on when things got tough, listening to us vent when we thought we’d go mad and for all the help making this dream become a reality. We love you!
