Great Guests

We have really enjoyed some special visitors lately.

1) My great in-laws, Steve and Gloria Thompson, drove up from Jacksonville for a few days to help us get settled before they hit the road in their new home on wheels. Thanks for coming Papa and Granny!


2) Betsy flew out from Minnesota.  We had so much fun eating out and relaxing! Specials highs included a Nutella Milkshake from Flip Burger Boutique, Avacado Eggrolls from Taquera Tsunamis and Crispy California Rolls from Kuroshio. Yes....we ate VERY well.



3) As Betsy flew home to Rochester, Heather was on her way out.  These cute girls could have high-fived in the sky. ;-) Heather and I took a fun road trip through the mountains of North Carolina to spend a couple of days with one of our favorite people, Kristen Milligan.  We had a blast visiting together and working on digital scrapbooks. We also attended Passion City Church and indulged in some avocado egg rolls, nutella milkshakes and yummy Smashburgers.  (I'm a pig!)

4) A few days after Heather left, my twin sister Judy and her four kids drove up from Jacksonville. Despite fighting a stomach illness, I really enjoyed their visit.  We cheered Cael on in two baseball games, went skating, and enjoyed playing and hanging out in the new house.  Kassie particularly enjoyed spending time with Lacey and those two became close buddies. So cute!

Not bad for four weeks in a new home! Who's next?

Love the New House

    

 

Several weeks ago we moved into our brand new home.  I love it!  Really. I love it so much!

There are so many spots in the home where I feel so cozy, productive or relaxed.

I love sitting at my new desk (just off the kitchen) and working on my computer, or bills, or IOH stuff.

I love sitting at the HUGE kitchen island and reading mail or email.

I love working at the stove or sink and watching the kids or the TV or the beautiful view out back.

I love sitting on the back deck and hearing the creek and the birds and the crickets.

I love sitting on the front porch and looking down the street filled with kids playing and good neighbors.

 

I love sitting in my cozy bed and watching my favorite TV shows or movies or reading my bible or writing in the kids' journals, or watching the tops of the trees sway out all the windows.

I love the laundry room right next to all the bedrooms.

I love the bright sunny bathroom and the big soaking tub (which I haven't actually used yet)!

I love the pretty color that is called grey but often looks blue.

I love the big red barn that I can see out my master bathroom window.

I love the mirrors I found at Home Goods, Big Lots and Hobby Lobby in each bathroom.

I really do love the new house so much.

Come visit!
