Our New House

So......there is this vicious rumor going around that we are moving. It might have started by the For Sale sign in our yard and the fact that we have told people, that we are moving. I've gotten enough hate mail from all you guys out there about not posting any pictures of our new house, so here you go.

After we put in our yard in Declo, I vowed, yes vowed, to my husband and all things in heaven, that I would NOT be putting in another yard on our next house. Evidently, Someone has a sense of humor.......

There are many things about this house we are grateful for. First, it's on a corner (sort of) which allows for a large backyard. We have been living in the country for 7 years now, and we are not used to people too close to us. We have actually enjoyed the space. This yard will give us plenty of room for a large garden, entertaining area in the back, and a huge yard for Baby Girl to play in. So, I will be brave, courageous, and long suffering (not to mention a drama queen) and put in ANOTHER yard at this house. I guess. I do enjoy selecting what I want in my yard, so I guess it's a win-win.

I don't have a picture of it, but the other thing that was imperative, was a basement. We don't have one in our current home, as we are in the flood zone here. Luckily, we will have a basement. A huge blessing. Plenty of storage, room for 2 additional bedrooms, and office, a family room, and a little workout area. In a state with 9 months of winter, it's a blessing.

This is our kitchen.....luckily we came into this house during construction, so we were able to select our own counters, flooring, paint, and cabinets. A fun little bonus.

This is a photo of our kitchen/great room. The bedrooms are down the hall and wrap around behind this room. It's nice to have the living room and the kitchen all open. I do love that.

A photo of our master bathroom. Something that was a must in our next house. With just the 2 of us even now, it can be a little crowded with just one bathroom. However, I think of people in Ghana and I feel like a glutton that I even get to own a house. With Baby Girl and company, we will need another though. I love the flooring in here. It's a porcelain made to look like travertine (the stone) but highly durable and great for water areas. I also love that the closet is a walk-in and located inside the bathroom. Great feature.

One very sad thing I noticed about this house......all our Declo friends don't come with the house. Sigh..........I will miss you.
