House

The last month and a half have been full. We moved, we drove to Colorado and back, we celebrated Christmas a couple times, and we finally closed on the house.
We love our house. It is not a big house, but we have so much more space than we used to have. We have a little yard to romp around in and a garage to keep our clutter mostly out of the way. We can walk to church again, and we are actually in a neighborhood, instead of living surrounded by university students. There is room to walk all the way around our kitchen table. We are really happy here.
Finally taking down the "Sale Pending" sign. The car in the driveway? It's ours. Dirty dishes in the sink? Also ours. Because we live in our own home now!
Lots of boxes to unpack. We still have a bunch in the garage, but I might just wait until it's not freezing out there before I unpack them. Plenty of space to play in front of our cute fireplace.Fun on the deck. A panorama of our backyard. (The deck's not actually wonky. It's just the way things got spliced together.)

Yeah! We are so happy for you. Big is not important, but enough space is. It is nice to have your own space and backyard, garage. That is great you guys have a house now! Would love to see more pictures of your home if you get a chance.

Please enjoy... said...

I hope you had tons of people help you move because Isaac was always the first person there to help us move. Glad you commented on my blog! We miss you guys!

Yay! Congrats on your new house! Isn't it such a great feeling, being HOME! And knowing that you don't have to move any time soon (hopefully). We actually started getting rid of our empty boxes. For the first time in 3 years we won't need them again in a year. They're outta here! :) Enjoy "moving in" and finding homes for all your stuff. :)
