House Tour: Downstairs

We have been loving our new home and have so much fun making it a place of our own... here is a peak inside our place.

When you open the front door you see a hall way leading towards the kitchen or a walkway to the living room.

To the right of the door is where the stairs are. 

Living room:

The living room leads into the dining room.

The dining room also has an entry to the kitchen.

From the kitchen there is a door to the garage.... not a good picture but you get the idea

The kitchen wraps back around the the hall way from the first picture taken from the front door. Laundry space is to the left under the stairs (not pictured) and there is a half bath to the right. 

Close up of the floor... 

And just because I have a picture... here is a wreath I made a couple years ago (yay for surviving 3 moves!) that is on our front door right now. 

 If you made it all the way through the pictures, you're a champ! Stay tuned for a tour of the upstairs! 

Friiiiiday!!

Friday, so nice to see you are here! This week wasn't as bad as last week work wise, but I'm always happy when Friday rolls around and I can look forward to spending a couple of days at home.

We're ending the week on a good note, we did a walk through in our house last night and we love how it has turned out. A few small things will be completed today and then we will hopefully be closing next week. This process is something, I tell ya! I will be so glad when it is all taken care of, we have closed, and have our stuff moved in. I must say though, we have been blessed with the greatest realtor who has helped us in any way imaginable. The builder and his crew have worked so hard to get the house completed on time. While waiting is extremely difficult, especially with our builder leaving for 2 weeks and our storage unit rental running up, I am trying to remember that God has a plan and it will work out. I'm not posting interior pictures until we have closed and I've gotten to decorate some, but I will leave you with a picture of the exterior of our soon to be home. Have a great weekend!

Wonderful weekends: game night, new hair, and home improvements

Happy Monday, everyone... just thought I would recap our weekend, while it wasn't very relaxing, it sure was productive!
Friday I left work early because I needed to head to the DMV for my.Virginia driver's license... I was not a happy camper, I had guests coming over for dinner and needed be home at 5:30, plenty of time, right? Wrong! We didn't leave the dmv until 10 til 6.... after finally getting out of there, we got home and I started making the soup for.dinner. Even though the evening started rough, see enjoyed having friends over for dinner and game night, we played clue.
On Saturday, Preston and I both went to our hometowns, but not together. Preston went home to work on his car, fixed the problem and gave it a wash. I went to Kentucky because Chloe girl and I had hair appointments, after dropping her off at the groomers, I went to my appointment. I knew I wanted to go brown and ditch the blonde.  After looking at some colors, we (my hair dresser that I've known since birth and I) picked a brown with a tint of red... yes you read that correctly, RED! I wasn't sure about it, but now I love it. In this visit I also bought the flat iron I've been wanting and I was super excited to get it for 25% off! After mine and chloe's appointments, we went to my parents house and I helped my mom organize her sewing room and install a new cabinet and counter top. After a visit to my grandparents, it was back on the road and an hour later I was back home.
Sunday we went to church, then walked back home for lunch. After a quick lunch we started laundry and then went outside to work on our flower bed project. The bed is now ready for planting, which is this coming Saturday's project. We also got the new medicine cabinet put on the wall in our master bathroom and we love it! After that we headed back to church. We've started working in the kids Christmas musical and it's going to be great! We enjoyed Mexican for dinner and ended the night with straightening up the house a little bit. It was a great weekend and we got lots accomplished! Already looking forward to next weekend!

Welcome to our new home!

Woohoo for Friday! Hope everyone has had a great week. Preston and I have settled into our new house which is now beginning to feel like home! Even though we still have lots if work to do, I decided to take some pics (sorry for the poor cell phone pic quality) to let you see a glimpse of our home....
