Home Sweet Home

The other day I got new checks in the mail and it occurred to me that this is the first time EVER that my checks address match where I actually live! This is such a huge milestone to me, silly as it may seem. I started counting back to how many places I've lived since I moved out of my parents home at 20. There were fifteen that I could remember! That is a lot of change of address forms!

We moved into our new home six months ago and plan on spending the rest of our lives here! It is exactly the house we wanted so hopefully there's never a need to move again! I want my children to grow up here and to come home for Christmases to the memories they made here. I want them to someday bring their children here and say "this is the room where...." or "I remember when...."

It takes a while for a house to be a home but I definitely feel that this has become exactly that! I was waiting to post pics until our house was "done" but I'm now realizing that will take years! So here's a little tour of our "Home Sweet Home!"

We still have work to do outside but right now I'm happy to have green grass! Justin is happy to have a four car garage. For the first time we can park all our vehicles inside and have room for storage too.



You walk in the front door into the formal living room.

The double doors lead into the den/office.

The formal dining room is in the same room as the formal living.

The closet wasn't picture worthy either even though it's the biggest closet I've ever had!

And that's it! Thanks for visiting our home! Hope to see you soon!
