Our House!!!

I have been bugging Sam about getting a house ever since we moved to Georgia. Well, in November 2009 we actually got one! I probably looked at 100 houses (our realtor was very patient with us) before finally finding this one. As soon as I stepped inside I knew it was for us! Luckily Sam felt the same way. :) It definitely needed work, but it sure was an adventure learning how to paint, spackle, tile, grout, etc.! We closed on our house November 2nd and officially moved in November 28th. The whole month of November we fixed up the house during the day, and slept at our apartment at night - except for some special nights where we stayed up until 2 or 3 a.m. painting and camped on an air mattress at the house. Caden was a good sport through it all. Luckily the house has a play room that he was able to stay in while we worked. Sam and I would switch off watching him and painting. It was a crazy time... but it was worth it!

Two cute boys on our soon to be front steps.

This is Caden's play room. Definitely my favorite room in the house!

Little Caden in our soon to be new kitchen. He was just learning to walk at this point.

We are so grateful that we could have this house. It has been a wonderful place to be, and we have met some great people here! Heavenly Father has definitely blessed us in so many ways!
