Our new home

We closed on our house Monday! We love it! Everything about it is perfect for our family! I will share a few pictures I got off line. These pictures were taken back in November when the house was listed. I forgot my camera last weekend to take new ones. The yard looks so much prettier now with all the things blooming!

The back...we have a basement!!! I have always wanted a basement!!!


And I LOVE the sunroom!


One of my favorite parts is the yard...I love the big trees! 

One more thing, I don't think I have ever mentioned about where we are living. If you look closely in this picture, you will see a path behind our fence. The town we are going to be living in has 90 miles of golf cart paths! And when the kids turn 15 they can drive golf carts to school!!! I am really excited about that, especially since Meredith is going to be 16 in just a few weeks and still doesn't even have her permit!!! (She just has no desire to drive.) Mallory is excited because when the kids turn 12 they can drive as long as an adult is with them...she will be 12 in a month! :) 

We were in shock when we first drove into this (bubble as they call it) town. We noticed people driving golf carts around everywhere. We went to Target and noticed little narrow parking spots that were designated golf cart parking. We were informed all about the golf cart paths the next day at church. 
We're all excited to move in soon... and get to makin' this house a home!

Heather, we use to live in that stake when Erik and I got married. My parents are still in the stake. It is a great town and just plain beautiful. I love the fact that they don't allow business signs above a certian hight (makes things look even nicer). They always have great bike trails there (we spent many dates on those). There are a lot of great people in that area. Congrats. Maybe we will see you down there sometime when we visit our parents.

Can't even think about this even though I love your new house and I'm so happy for you-it's bitter sweet.

Beautiful house!! First thing I noticed was how similar the colors are to your M'boro home. How lucky are you to find an established house with YOUR colors! Lucky girl. The yard is georgeous! Can you say HAMMOCK! :)

Heather said...

Thanks Jeni!

I knew right when we pulled up that was our house...looks like us :)! If you think about it, every home we have owned has had these same colors...white shutters, red door.

We have two hammocks waiting to be put up!!!
