Our New House!

Ahhh...our new house:) It makes me smile so big! I was going to wait and do this post when I had some more pictures to show you, but that's not going to be for another week or so - and once moving starts I'm not sure when I'll get to post next. So consider this a little teaser:)

This first picture is the view from our master bedroom into the backyard. You can see our deck on the right and the patio underneath it. The picnic table doesn't stay unfortunately but we'll get proper seating there eventually!

This is the second bedroom upstairs which might temporarily be Malachi's room until another baby comes along. The house is a split-level with 2 bedrooms up and 2 down.

This is the view of the master bedroom from the doorway, the window on the far wall is huge! And we will be changing the colors in here...not sure what to yet, I'm still waiting for my 'sue the napkin' moment. (If you have no idea what that means check out http://www.younghouselove.com/ and search sue the napkin - it'll make a lot more sense).


And this is my beautiful white kitchen:) It makes my heart happy!!! The colors in there are pretty, but the wall behind me that you can't see is red like the area above the sink and my current kitchen is red. So I'm changing it:) I'm going for a white/grey/yellow scheme in the kitchen. White cabinets with gray walls, and then using accessories to do awesomely bright pops of yellow! Already have a plan for painting our dining room table that I'm really stoked about, I'll make sure to document it for you:)

And that's all the pics I have for now sorry! I can't wait to see the house empty and then even more so with our stuff in it! I've finally started packing as of yesterday, and I must say I'm pretty proud of how much I got done! But there's so much more to do....thankfully my amazing mom is coming over Monday to help me. Shout out for all the amazing moms out there - love you!!!

God is so good, this house is beyond our wildest dreams and I'm so excited for Malachi to grow up there. Speaking of the kid, here's another list of all things done by Malachi

as of March 12th, 2010:

• You still love music. As I'm writing this post you are standing on a box pretending that the upside down laundry basket is your snare drum, your little chair is your cymbal and your lego table is your bass drum. You didn't want to look for your actual drumsticks so instead you're using the thermometer and ear-checker-thingie from your doctor kit. And yes that's a technical term.
• You are not doing well with potty-training right now. We're talking major regression and it's been awesome for testing mom and dad's patience. Yay.
• You are incredibly independent and want to do everything by yourself. We went out to eat tonight and you cut up your food with a knife all by yourself for the first time. Big kid.
• The other day you were a little too quiet in the other room so I asked you what you were doing and you said "I'm just relaxing!" I should have known...
• You are helping your dad remodel our master bathroom and are actually really helpful! You have your own hammer, wrench, saw, and screwdrivers, and you proudly gave me a tour of all of your hard work when I got home from work.
• You sang the "Have Patience" song at the top of your lungs in Target the other day. I liked it:)
• A volunteer worker at your BSF kid's class on Wednesday morning paid you a huge compliment; she said you were extremely attentive, you participated in everything and had great manners and she could tell that you belonged to someone in leadership (meaning your Grandma Susie). I thanked God for that and was so proud:)

Now we are on to a week of craziness! We close on our house on Friday so I welcome any prayers that our moving would be smooth and painless:) I hope you all have had a wonderful week! God bless!
