Today Justin & I Celebrate the first year in our home together! It seems like this year has BLOWN by. Where in the world has the time gone, and why oh why are there still boxes unpacked downstairs?! Last year before Thanksgivingwe sat crossing our fingers praying and praying that we would get the house. A little over a month later just before Christmas we were praying and praying that we would close each and every day for what felt like FOREVER. If you have ever bought a house before, I am sure you know the deal. I cant begin to tell you the amount of relief we felt when we FINALLY closed. I could not wait to get moved in! We started moving New Years Eve last year but didn’t spend our first night in our home until New Years day of ’09. It really is just so amazing to sit here a year later. I have already moved my furniture around about a billion times, WOW my walls need painting already, and the carpet…. Where’s Stanley Steamer when you need him?? But really, I am just so thankful to be here in this house. I pray that everyone has a beautiful start to this new year, and finds themselves blessed as we embark on a brand new journey!
This is the image I stared at for weeks, I dreamed about this house every night!

And then a picture I took of the first snow in our house in March of 09…
