New House + New Memories

When we first moved into our house I was so ambitious to make our house into a home.  I was moving things around left and right like a mad woman.  Yet, some how no matter what I moved I wasn't pleased with the arrangement.  It wasn't until now when things started to fall into place.  Sometimes the best thing is to live in it for a while, develop your routine and then decide the placement of things.  Now my cute little bungalow is coming along perfectly like it should be. Like most things, everything takes time.

I have some before and after pictures to share.  I have many plans for this house in the near future because my creative wheels are always spinning. I've even drawn up floor plans and outdoor visuals!

Before

When we first moved in there was hardly any grass and all rocks from large to small.  I like to call this  project, "Project Grass".  It took us 3 weeks to remove all the rocks.  YES, three weeks!!  We also moved the large boulders to the front of our walkway.  Next spring I look forward to planting a multitude of flowers :)

 

Moving Forward

The last couple weeks have been eventful for myself and the family.  In the next the next week we will be proud home owners!  May 11th to be exact.  The idea of creating something that encompasses our values, style, and energy really excites me! I didn't want to say anything before to keep good attitudes and positive motivation moving forward.

We will also be welcoming a new addition to the family. Yep, guys that's right! It's a boy!

Checkers is his name. We are adopting him from the humane society.  He is a year old and muy aficionado :) A perfect fit for our family.  Since JaLynn will be turning four April 19th we thought a cat would be a great gift for the young animal lover.  I will be picking him up tomorrow!! Yay!
