Our House

Here's a few pictures of a few rooms in our house.

This is our bedroom (with Greg exiting). We'd like to move the glider upstairs and get two chairs facing the TV armourer. Notice the blue ceiling. Took me a little while to get used to, but the room needed some color with the bland walls.

Here's the other end of our bedroom. I love our king size bed!This is the living room. (We were watching UP! I love, love, love that movie!)

This is the piece of furniture that we've spent the past two months searching for. It was so hard to find something the right size and style to go in the huge hole in the middle of the built in cabinets/bookshelves. I think it matches quite well I think

Here's the mantel. I really need to put some candles on the candle holders. I'll get around to it eventually...

Here's the dinning room. It has a view out to the water and fountain in the front yard. You can see my stripes on the wall really well! Love them!

The furniture is Jeff and Gena's (Jordan's parents). We sold ours a few months ago and it would have been perfect in the space. Oh well, I think Gena's set is beautiful and works well in there also.
Here's my favorite room in the house. Addison Kate's Room!

Our craig's list steal!

One of her favorite birthday presents. Isn't it precious?!
Her crib was another craigs list find! Gotta love it! And her name on the wall I love!!

Tripp wanted to be in a picture too! :)

Those were the only rooms I had decent pictures of. I'll try to get more up later. To see the outside of the house, see this post (It looks prettier now with all the trees in bloom. I'll get more pictures up soon. Also of the kitchen since it's now green instead of boring brown)

I'm still here!

Wow, I have been so slack about writing any posts lately! I know, it's been a long time (My Grandaddy subtly told my cousin Zach to tell me I hadn't posted anything since March 17th! :) Hint taken, Grandaddy! Love you!) So here goes:

Things have been so hectic! We moved into our new house last week and everything is such a mess! I don't know where anything is and I feel completely and utterly unorganized! We've finally gotten everything moved over to the new house, but mostly it's in bins in the garage. We've also painted the kitchen (light green), Addison's room (formerly the office. There's no closet, so we are looking for a good deal on a white armoire, if you know of any for sale??) (light green a little more yellow than the kitchen, super cute!), the bookshelves in the living room (silvery blue, so much better than that awful orangey red that was there before), and the dinning room is almost finished. It's painted a mid-tone gray/blue color in a very flat finish and we are going to paint 5 inch vertical stripes in high gloss finish in the same color. I can't wait until it's done! We've gotten new rugs for the living rooms and dinning rooms and I love them. So things are coming along, but it's still a huge mess!

I think one of the coolest moments we've had with our new house so far was on Tuesday night. I had taken the day off to work on moving and Mom kept Addison for us. When she dropped her off for us that evening we were ready for supper. It was such a pretty day we decided to put Addison in her stroller and walk to dinner. That's right. We walked to dinner. I have never lived close enough to walk to any restaurant or public establishment of any sort. It's about a half mile from the square in down-town Mocksville. It was so cool to know how close we are to so many different things in town (Not that many things since, come on, it is only Mocksville :) ).

Addison has been such a good little girl throughout the whole moving experience. She is still such a happy baby and is pretty good at keeping herself kind of occupied in her walker. Sweetie sweet girl! She's been kind of sick the past few days, with a runny nose and slight, low-grade fever and one croupy eye. But she is still so sweet! She fell asleep on my chest for both her naps and bedtime yesterday, which she never does. She normally will not be still enough in my arms to settle herself down and go on the sleep no matter how sleepy she is. I ate it up! Loved every second of her sweet little head resting on my shoulder and the sweet smell of her hair and the sounds of her little breathes! I couldn't love her more!

I'll try to post more later! I'm just in a bloggy slump, but I'll try to find time to blog more. We'll see...

Change Gonna Come

So... We have been busy purchasing this:

That's right, the Cline Family is moving. We put in offer in on this house a few weeks ago and they actually accepted it!

(Back of house)

It's a great location in town, which puts us both closer to work and, well closer to most things. There's a small pond in the front yard which will have a fountain in it soon.

It's got a two story living room, four bedrooms, four bathrooms, dining room, office...

Huge kitchen, den, roomy laundry room, two-car garage, front porch and balcony, back covered porch and balcony. It comes with a little over 2 acres of land. Best part is we got a killer deal on it!

I was quite shocked that our offer was accepted but I am slowly becoming more and more excited about it. I just don't want to pack and unpack and all that fun stuff that comes along with moving. So we should be closing in about 2 weeks and moving about a week after that. Wow, I have sooo much to get done before now and then and not much motivation! I guess it will come soon, or I'll be in trouble!
