Our New Home!!

WE ARE HOME!!


Our subdivision entrance sign:
We are very excited about being in our new home!! The Lord has provided for us again and again and we give Him all the honor and glory!! We officially got the keys to our new home on July 27, 2009. I believe our first night here was that Thursday night, July 31st!! Chase had to sleep on the couch a few days because Tommy was in the process of painting her room!!
Here are a few pics of the painting process:

The "dragon fire" orange was alot easier to paint on than the "citrus splash" yellow...Tommy went thru 4 coats and 2 gallons of the yellow vs. 2 coats and 1 gallon of the orange, but in the end it was all worth it...Chase LOVES her new room!! I will post some more pictures of Chase's room after we get it fully decorated!! :)

We had alot of help moving in from our church members and we appreciate all everyone did! It rained several days, so we moved alot of stuff in our van, and Tommy's parents Rodeo, and our son Brian came and helped us and moved some in his Xterra! Tommy's parents were our biggest helpers...They were here everyday working hard and we are so thankful for them and all they have done!! We love you both so much!!

Here are a couple of pics of the Living room...The pictures turned out a little dark, so I tried to take them at different angles!

This is one of my favorite parts of the house...I LOVE our fireplace!!

This is the Kitchen and Dining area...We have a formal dining room as well, but we aren't really formal dining people, so we decided to make that into Tommy's study!!

We aren't fully settled in yet, Tommy is patching some holes and we need to do some touch up painting before I can finish hanging pictures and such!! We are down to about 3 or 4 boxes!! Tommy even cleared out enough space for me to park the car in the garage!! :) Yay!!

This is the Master Bedroom and Master Bath...(yes, Tommy is sleeping)I wish the pictures showed how beautiful our Master bedroom and bath really are!! We are so excited about our room...As you can see our furniture doesn't come close to filling the room and we have double trey ceilings and the bathroom ceiling is beautiful as well!! The pictures just don't do it justice!! :)

This is our guest room (actually it's our grandkids room) We haven't gotten the crib and bunkbeds up yet, but they are coming soon!!

Tommy's dad was generous enough to give Tommy is old riding mower! We have 1.6 acres, so Tommy would have been spending all his time cutting grass if he had to do it all with the push mower!! He looks rough doing it with a riding mower!! Can you imagine if he had to do it all with a push mower!?!

Great pics! But you are right...they don't truly do justice to just how amazingly beautiful your home is! The fireplace area is definitely a highlight...but I also love the front door entrance area-so beautiful! And of course, your bedroom and amazing bathroom!!! What a blessing how God orchestrated everything with your house!!!! And I know that you'll bless others by welcoming them into your home and making them feel a part of your family!!! Love you guys!

I am so very happy for you guys!!! You have decorated it so beautifully and I can't wait to see what God does through your hospitality in this home!

PS. It reminds me so much of your "dream house" that you had before moving to NC. Isn't God so good?!?
