Home Sweet Home

In late July we happened upon our dream home! My brother (the magazine junkie that he is) noticed a house in a real estate book that he thought I might like. I drove past it, called a realtor, saw the inside - FELL IN LOVE, made an offer and within 2 weeks we had closed on it and moved in! It all just fell into place so easy that it was almost scary! Although Maci had a hard time with the moving part for awhile - I think she's really starting to love the new digs too!

It's quite a hike to the front door, but I think it looks pretty so who cares if I'm about to die of a heart attack by the time I get to the top hehe!

This is the front balcony. It's so nice and relaxing up there - and we love the views too!

This is the messy kitchen... The funny thing is that I snuck into the house a million times before it actually became mine and I never once noticed that there were no cabinets on top. I brought my family & friends over to see it and none of them noticed either. We finally noticed as we were unpacking boxes and realized that the cups/plates/bowls had to go on the bottom. Thank God Maci has outgrown her love to drag everything out of the cabinets!

This is Maci's room. Ignore the ugly curtains, but we had just moved in so we left the originals up for the time being! Maci got a really "big girl bed" when we moved to the new house. It's so tall that she has to use a stool to get up on it, but she loves it so that's all that matters! She picked this room the first time we saw the house because it has green walls! It works out perfect because it's upstairs and just down the hall from mine!

As soon as we actually hang things on any of the other walls I will post more pictures. It's pretty bare right now though! I'm waiting for my interior decorators to show up (a.k.a. Misty, Christy, Nicole and Charlene)!!!
