Quick photo update

We have moved most of our bedroom (minus the rug, chair, artwork etc.) It was sorta weird sleeping in a different house with all our stuff, but we had fun and slept well!

Another view

Poor Maggie. I don't think she gets it. She bunched the rug up and slept right by us all night.

Good stories to come!

Sneak Peak

Here is a sneak peak of our front porch!! WE LOVE IT! We drove up to the house yesterday at 5pm and the sellers were frantically trying to leave! I asked them if they needed any help and that they didn't need to rush. I told them could have more time if they needed it. They said they were just leaving and making sure our one of our new neighbors had our phone numbers in case she needs it. She is an elderly woman that has lived in the neighborhood since she was 4 years old and sometimes needs help with things, like replacing a porch light or moving heavy things. I would love to meet her and hear about the neighborhood and how she has seen it change throughout the generations.



The two chairs are not ours, this picture was taken before the sellers moved so they took those with them, and left everything else! We added some cute paisley outdoor pillows and I want to put a new welcome mat out. Maggie loves it! She ran around the front yard sniffing everything and she went crazy running throughout the house and the back yard. I can't wait to play with her in the back yard and just give her a space that is much more dog friendly.



We unlocked the front door together both giving each other these super wide, silly, excited grins about our new home. I have such hope-God-filled dreams for this home and I know Allen does too! The sellers had left a beautiful bouquet of spring flowers on the kitchen counter along with a gift which was so thoughtful and sweet. We both wish that we could have met them before this encounter. They were very very cool people.



We took a few trips last night from one house to another and plan on doing the same the rest of the week. Tonight a good friend is coming over to help and then we are going to eat a yummy meal and hang out.


Life is good.



Praise God.

A week of moving

MOVING MONDAY!! and Tuesday and Wednesday and ....you get the picture. We are so excited to unlock the door to our first house today!! We went over last night and took some cupcakes to the sellers in a sort of " Good luck on your move to New York City!" they were not there, and our new neighbor was looking at us funny (probably because we were peering in the windows to see the inside of our beautiful new home) so we quickly left.

I am so lucky to have such good friends that come over late to help us pack our dishes or let us use their cars so that we can make trips in bigger cars. Saturday is our moving party day for the big stuff ( couches, headboards, dressers, dining room tables etc.) and so our goal this week is to move fragile items, clothing and decorative pieces. I lay in bed at night trying to will myself to sleep but all I can think of is paint colors and arrangement of furniture!

Happy Monday for sure!!

it's official

crunch time has arrived. If I had that cake in my hands I would eat it in 2 seconds flat. I am stressed.

without a purpose

It is about to be april. April showers bring May flowers....the roses outside our bedroom window are absolutley gorgeous. Last night the outside lights were shining on them and it was like a show. It took my breath away...the dark night, the soft pink of the petal and the clear light was so special. I think it was a moment between me and God.

I am excited for April. I am happy with March. March was good to us. March provided challenges. March provided growth. April will be full of suprises I think. I am excited about birthdays and babys and photo shoots and Easter.
