Let the decorating begin!

Our home is still a work in progress, but I am happy to report that we are slowly but surely getting there! Our new couch was just delivered yesterday,and my next project will most likely be making the pillow covers-I went to the fabric store last night and was so excited to cut samples and envision them in our new living room...stay tuned for pics! For now, we are mostly done with our bedroom and the kitchen, give or take some wall art...

Thank's Petunia!


Don't throw away your pennies! Almost a year ago, I bought a cute piggie bank whom Chris and I named "Petunia." While we were not always faithful to feed Petunia our change, we did manage to fill here up with lots of unwanted pennies and random pocketfuls of change. Tonight, we took here to the local Coinstar at Lowes Food to see our months of pennies and patient saving turn to cash. I wasn't expecting too much, and was pleasantly surprised to reap $36.91 from our piggy bank's belly!! While this may not seem like a huge feat, I was very excited about it. We are also on the "keep the change" program with Bank of America, and love to see our excess change turn into savings. I encourage you to save those unwanted pennies, they may pay off one day...For now, we decided to put our small reward in the "Piper Fund." God willing, we will be adding a new addition to our family in the next few months...a puppy named Piper:)

Ahhh Moving!


Day 3...officially out of our old place, new home-mildly chaotic. We are exhausted, sore, and happy homeowners. We certainly underestimated the amount of things to clean up at our old apt., and worked into the late hours of the night, again, wrapping everything up there. Is there an end in sight? This weekend will be a busy one..I am sooo glad its Friday:)!! Thankfully, overall I think we had it relatively easy...we have yet to accumulate years of furniture, ect., and it's just the two of us. I can't imagine having to move with children:/

We are so thankful to God for giving this incredible blessing and entrusting us as stewards of this new home.

Home Sweet Home

For the past few months, Chris and I have been in the crazy, overwhelming and exciting process of purchasing our first official townhome. Yesterday was the big closing/moving day(yes, all in one) I am happy to report that we made it, praise God! We are now officially homeowners :) As you can imagine, we are very busy with the move and up to our knees in boxes...so stay tuned for more adventures in moving, unpacking, organizing and most fun of all-decorating! We were so fortunate so have my parents help us with the move-thanks mom and dad, we couldn't have done it without you.

Our townhome is new construction, so it was fun to document its growth from the ground up(scrapbooking op....i think so!) Here are some pics from the journey.
