Our First Home

Last week we decided to sell our first home. I am going to miss my home. We have done a lot of work on it, and we hope the next family will take good care of it. We told the children that we were leaving, and the only concern (besides leaving their friends) they had was the garden. How were they going to eat the vegetables in the garden? I told them if we were still here, we will, if not, the next family will have some good vegetables to eat!

We decided that it was better for our family to be together than be separated when Roger starts working on his new job in a couple of weeks. We know this is short notice and the house market isn't improving, but have faith and trust that it will work out.

Since this is my first home, I decided to dedicate this blog to my home and document some of my favorite things about my home:

Maple tree-I love my maple tree. It provided great shade for our home and for our children as they climbed the tree or played on the swing.

My porch-I never did get around fixing my porch, but I loved sitting in here. I especially loved my squeaky farm-house porch door. It reminded me of an old farm house. I know, Roger thought I was crazy too.

As you walk in from the porch, this is the first room you walk into. I loved my maple floors. This is my place to sit and relax, to talk with my friends, or read a good book.

My dining room-I am finally done with this room. I had a great friend come in and help me decorate this room, and she did a fabulous job!! I will need to take a picture to remember how she did it.

My kitchen-I am still not a big fan of all the white, but I am still working on the decorating to help not make it so white!! (with the help of my friend of course)

My family room-made possible so crazy mom rarely comes out now! My favorite room and my children's favorite room too.



We hope that our next home will bring us as much joy as this home has. We look forward to our next adventure despite all the chaos of keeping a house clean thoroughly on a daily basis. We are happy that we will be together as a family, and we will be moving closer to family which everyone is excited about!
