Whatcha think?? We move in at the end of March and I've never been more scared or happy in life...We have been living in apartments for a good 7 years so I'm so glad we found a home that is perfect for us...it's a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom cottage style house and it sits on TWO ACRES OF LAND!! We have been blessed and we pray that we continue to receive those blessings because heaven knows this next month is going to be INSANE!! Guess I should really start packing soon eh?? :)
(P.S. If anyone has any fun ideas for paint colors or any type of kitchen backsplash ideas please let me know!!)
In scrappy news The Nook has their March Kit up for sale...I just want to say that I am literally in love with this kit...I think I found my new favorite color scheme (and those pearls - OH MY!!)
(Psst!! If you order the kit this month you even get a $5 coupon good for any of their add-ons!!)
Now here is what I have made so far with this GORGEOUS kit:
*Sigh* - I just love it!!
I also have a couple other things I made with the now sold out February Kit from the Nook...
(this just shows the hidden journaling)
(Picture of me taken by the ever so talented Christy...)
I made this card from a sketch I drew up for a crop:
Yay for scrappy goodness!!
In family news we are all doing really well...Emmett is 4 months old now - can you believe it?!?! I can't....Its going by way too fast!! He is a much happier baby nowadays...his tummy seems to be feeling a thousand times better and he LOVES to smile...his most favorite time of the day is when I change his diaper...he gets a serious case of the giggles when that happens...Its so funny!! Lily is pretty much the princess of everything...She knows it too!! She's got some amazing crayon coloring skills we have found out - perhaps another artist in the family?? :) Porter is doing wonderfully too...he's been bringing home books from school to read and he can actually read them...I'm so proud of him!! He's having a hard time coping with the idea of moving to a new school and I'm not sure what I'm going to do about that....he really loves his class and his teacher....Ben is trying to bribe him with a dog...(I mostly think Ben is just trying to find excuses to get one...silly Ben!!) The main thing we are trying to do is get everything ready to move into our house...it really is an undertaking!! I'm looking forward to purging alot of junk and starting over brand new...Wish us luck!! We really need it!!

Congrats! Having your own home is the best! We love it!
Yeah for the new house - can't wait to see it someday. We moved Brianna in the middle of kindergarten and she did fine. Porter will adjust and he'll have so much space to run, he'll forget! Yeah land!
Congratulations on the house! We're very happy for you and Ben. If you do get a dog, make Ben promise he'll feed it and clean up the dog poo! It's the least he could do. . .
Whoohooo....congrats, what a great news!!!! And wow, love your layouts and card and the sketch is Awesome!!!
Even though I have already congratulated you... Congrats on the new house! I can't wait to help you guys move in and all the fun stuff that comes with it. Please let us help! We can't wait for your new adventure, even if it takes you away from me. Tear. :)
Oh, we're really jealous of the two acres! Owning a house is amazing-- you'll have lots of fun with painting and stuff I'm sure, since you're so creative. Congratulations! You should send us pictures of the inside when you get moved in. (Like I'm one to talk since I haven't posted pictures of ours yet...)
