We have pictures!

It only took a month, but we finally have some pictures of the house. It is mostly put together, but there are still a few things left to put up. Enjoy!


Here is the front view of the house.


When you are in from out of town an need a place to crash, this is where you will sleep.


The entry way is one of the things we initially fell in love with.


It is so nice to have a kitchen with enough cupboard space to put all of our stuff...plus some. Dy was able to talk Brett into the cabinet upgrades and we both love the decision.


Our family room could use a little wall decor, but we are still deciding the setup option we prefer.


Family room part two. We imagine this will end up being some sort of additional sitting space, but furniture budget is spent for 2009...and no more window shopping.


After a year in storage, Dy was finally able to display her shelves and couch in the "Church Room."




We are still working on what exactly will go on top of the "Dust Collector Shelf," but we have a decent start. We stole all of the good deals from Pier 1 Imports.



We really love our master bedroom. Plenty of space but not too much. Even though there aren't any pictures of our bare Master Retreat room, when there are a bunch of teens and their friends running around in a few years it will truly become our retreat.


Master bath with the closet in the background. We also have a jetted tub and separate shower off to the right.



All in all, we are so happy to finally be in a home. Now we just need to break it in with a little house warming party. If you want to help us with that, keep Saturday, February 28 open for a little party. Leave a comment if you want to come and we will be sure to send details.

We are in!

Good news, bad news. We are finally in our home. Bad news...no internet. Our updates may be limited, but we will try to do our best. We decided to go with television rather than internet. Who knows how long we will last before going crazy.

Well, we were able to officially move in on December 23. We absolutely love it. There are still a few things the builders are finishing up and/or fixing. Yesterday as the satellite was being installed, we found out they failed to put any insulation in our attic. There are a few more things such as missing light bulb, chipped cement, and our mailbox.

Last night for New Year's we broke in our house with a little party, kids included. it was fun to entertain a little bit with comfortably fitting 15 people where our previous limit was about 4. We will work on getting some pictures taken and get it posted.

Until then...we will start enjoying 2009!
