Moving in

Moving in

(2/13)

 

Flora has found the best place in the house.  The kitchen walls since that don't go all the way to the ceiling.  Hubs joined her up there.  TV is still on the floor as we have yet to find a TV stand we can agree on.  Spices are finding their new home in the cabinets.

 

Moving is so hard he's crashed on the sofa.  K's bed hasn't arrived yet so it's just the mattress on the floor.
School room is slowly coming together

Our Closing in photo's

Our Closing day in Photos

 

Closing happened so fast as in we found out that we were closing the night before that there was a good chance to close that Friday.  We knew for sure Friday morning when we did our final walk through.

 

As we waited for everything to be finished we sat here with butterflies in the gut.  So what else do you do but snapping photo's.

 

Papers are signed and all cash has been handed over.  Can't say that is when we got our keys though.  LOL!  Our realtor handed them over when we did our walk through that morning along with our gift baskets.  We got a gift basket from our realtor and our broker.  What did we do right after closing?  We ran to the old house grabbed blankets and our dogs and went HOME!

 

Welcome home M. Family!!!

Mom and Son mini vacation

 

St. Augustine with my little man.

 

We had a field trip with our homeschool group up there so K and I made a mini vacation out of it.  Best decision ever!  While relaxing by the pool watching K swim there was just a sweet peace of being away from our every day stress that was just so relaxing.  After we were done at the pool it was time for dinner so we headed to a Pizza joint.  Pizza was so YUMMY!  After dinner K wanted to go checkout the beach.  On the way back to the hotel K asked if we can do this again.  I think it's something I want to do on a yearly basis is a 1 on 1 mini vacation.  We both needed the carefree 24 hours.

Once back at the hotel we snagged some fresh baked cookies when son asked to go swim some more before heading up to the room.  Of course we could swim for a while.  Ended up going back up to the room for a little bit to call daddy at home.  After that headed to the fro-yo shop across the street.  Not the best Fro-yo but we were having a great time.  K wanted to ride his scooter so we headed down to the pier to take a peek.  We both stated that we need to bring Daddy back here.  We are now planning a family vacation here.  We feel bad K and I have been to St. Auggie 3 times in 8 yrs. and hubs has never been here. We have to change that soon.  Enjoy the photo's 

All Homeschool Field trip photo's will be posted on our school blog

New house Tour

As you all know we Moved in February.  With the move and homeschooling I have had NO time for the blog.  As our homeschool year is wrapping up and we've been here for almost 2 months and things are finally settling down. 

 

Lets get down to the tour

 

Row 1: Our garage and sidewalk to our screened in front porch.  Front of the house.  Love the little details like this window combo to give the roof line some dimension.

Row 2: Our front door (Not in love with) Our living room entry way and coat closet.  3rd photo is the Hall way Lien closet.

 

Row 3: Our Kitchen Bay window.  Our closed in Kitchen.  Hello late 80s kitchen.  3rd Photo is our dining room.  Love having a dining room space.
Row 4: Master Bathroom with a HUGE walk in shower.  Love this, family room that is being used for our school room.  3rd Picture is the kids/guest bathroom.  It's a little yellow from the lighting.

it's a 3/2/2 1500sqft house not including our just under 500sqft garage.  With Citrus fruit trees :o)

Well that is our house.  Stay tuned as we move in and make this house our HOME.

Getting REAL here

Getting real here

 

 

Here is one of our kitchen counters about 5 minutes ago.  It's what I call has ground zero.  Unopened apple sauce needing to be put away, a lunch bag,a pile of random papers, a unread news paper, current spring candle etc.  YIKES! 

 

Even this Type A personality has a dumping ground currently ;o)

 

 

Mind you we are still unpacking

 

We've Moved

 

Wow!  It has happened we've finally moved into our new house.  Isaac and I have worked so hard to make the dream of being home owners a reality.  Closing was amazing.  It was quick and so amazing.  The nerves didn't hit until I was about to step into the escrow office to sign papers. 

 

Our awesome Realtor was there to hold our hands..Ha!  No we just all joked around for the most part.  As I stated before closing went fast and guess who forgot to take a picture of the signing paper work.  Yeah, that's right I did. Oops but we rushed to the CB house to grab our dogs and head to the new house for the night.

 

Oh yes we did.  We had KFC for dinner on the floor of our new living room watching wreck it Ralph.  Come bedtime we all crashed on the floor in the master bedroom.  We all had such a rush all day that we were out by 10.

 

 

Kayden's first time riding in a big truck and 1st move that he remembers.

 

Stay tuned for more house updates

The Best email ever

"I wanted to let you know we received loan approval from the lender late Friday! Your loan is approved with the lender, which is great news! And Even better, they are not asking for any additional information from you! " Sent to us from our broker

I read this first thing this morning, and the first thing I did was text hubs to call me.  K happened to walk to into the room and he said "WHAT"  I guess he knew something was up.  I told him and he got the biggest smile ever and gave me the biggest HUG ever.  He's excited to get a bigger house that we can start our adoption journey in.  He than went running around the house laughing.  Hubs called and I got to share the news with him.  I could hear his huge smile over the phone.

The family is excited and now we are just waiting to schedule our closing date.  Sooner than later at this point.  Can't wait to move in and start the journey of making our new house our home :o)


All the glory to GOD
