New House, the Second Level


Join Princess and I as we give a tour of the second level.  Not quite as exciting since the rooms all look similar, but important none the less.  Ready?

New House, the Main Level

Ready for the main level house tour?  I thought so.


Welcome to our new house! (fingers crossed for smooth closing)  This is the view from front door.  Adorable children don't convey, we had to provide our own.

House Sneak Peek

Ready to see our new house?  After a week, we made it back to take some pictures and measurements.  Its hard to contain my excitement.

Isn't it adorable?  While I'm really not crazy about the gingerbread details, I like the rest.  I might get crazy and take them down someday.


And here is a view our future neighbors.  I love the mix of house styles


I love my back porch!  We plan on screening in the porch eventually.  I can't wait, as I really don't like bugs.



There is a large vacant area next to our house.  Part of that will be a landscaped buffer zone; the other part will be a dog park.  Hubby thinks that's a great plan for our future dog.



Another view of our backyard.  Our property line is only to the black (which will come down soon).  However, there is a guaranteed 100 feet buffer of trees between us and a future residential development.  No one has bought the land yet, so its still a few years off.  We hope to put a fence in (must be black wrought iron per HOA) before hubby can bring home a dog.  (see a theme here?)

Lots of plans to think about, but I find it exciting.  We can take our time and make it how we want it and perfect for our family.  That's the dream of home-ownership, right?

House Plans

We found a house!  I don't have pictures of the place just yet (maybe next weekend), but I did find the floor plans online.  Will this keep you interested until I find the time to take some pictures?


First floor.



Second floor

We are terribly excited.  I didn't anticipate on finding a place this quickly.  If all goes as planned, we will close at the end of March and move in April.  I can't wait to have more space and make this house a home.  My favorite parts so far our the pantry and bonus room (future playroom).  I'll keep you posted on our progress.
