So, we moved!


Yep, we can't believe it either! We didn't plan to move until Thanksgiving weekend . . . but, since the new house got done it's renovations this past week, and we were getting a lot set up there . . . we decided to move up the date. So, since last Sunday, we've been officially sleeping there!

We couldn't be more thankful for the house and the whole situation. Some of you might know, we had been renting a single home since we got married. We were able to do a lot of fixing up there, since it was going to be torn down. (The reason for being torn down is that there are plans to build a super Wawa -- like a 7-11 -- right where we live). So, we knew our time was limited in the old house, but we sure enjoyed it!

Kindly enough, the people we rent from (knowing the entire situation) offered for us to move into another property they recently bought. They decided to gut and refurbish the entire house too! And, we could help customize it! What an unexpected blessing! Our new house is literally new -- brand new kitchen (cabinets, countertops, flooring), new paint, new bathroom, new carpets, exterior was painted, and they are re-landscaping the outside. Who could ask for more?!!! We are delighted with the new place, and you must come and visit!

Here are some pictures before we moved in. There will be more to come soon -- with the "after-having-moved-in" look:

The study/library - the paint was Brian's pick . . . looks good!

The we're-not-sure-what-we're-doing-with-this-room-yet. Brian claimed it as his X-box room . . . maybe it will be for a kiddo someday :)
