New House

We are buying our first house! It is such a blessing. God just dropped it in our laps. It has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms! We are moving closer to family since Eric is going to be traveling a lot this year for work and probably in the coming years as well. I am also going to be able to help out with his grandparents.

Right now we are praying about whether to continue homeschooling or to take advantage of a unique situation. The school there is really small because it is a small town and almost all of the teachers are christians, the families of the students are christians and we go to church with a lot of them. It would be almost like sending them to a christian school, but it is free. I talked to the principal today and told him that we were homeschoolers and he suggested that I come in and observe in the classrooms before I make a decision. I know that God will lead us, but it is still a scary decision to make. All along, we have said, "year by year, child by child" for our homeschool agenda.

Anyway, I leave you with a couple of pictures of the house. It reminds me of an english cottage.


They had remodeled the kitchen and they did a beautiful job, I just wish it resembled more of an english cottage kitchen. I can work on that. :)

I really would like to paint the cabinets white or black...probably white. I don't really like two tone and I don't like whitewash. Any opinions would be great!

This wall is opposite the sink and there is a pantry on the right side that didn't make it into the picture. That is a stained glass window into the bathroom, but you can't see into the bathroom. Totally cute!


This is a pretty tile they put it as you walk into the kitchen. It is unique , but it looks great.

I wasn't able to get great ones of the inside because I was in a hurry. I am sad that I didn't get any pictures of the yard either. The yard has a pond and it is nicely landscaped.

This is the smallest bedroom upstairs that will be a guest room. It has really cute cubbies because of the pitched roof. I am very excited to decorate this room someday.





That is all for now until I can get some better shots after we move in. Eric says it is a great hide n seek house because of all of the closets. We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the neighborhood. We know many people that live in it so that is really nice. All I have to say is that God gave us above and beyond what we even dared to ask for. He definitely knows our dreams and desires (Ephesians 3:20 AMP)
