BEFORE and AFTER Pictures

We have really started unpacking and getting things done with our house! I have a lot of decorating to do... and of course, Pinterest is going to come in to play here too, but that will all take some time! :) However, I thought I would show a couple of BEFORE and AFTER pictures for you all to see our progress!

LIVING ROOM: BEFORE

We have a HUGE living room, but this is the part with the fire place. I LOVE it.

LIVING ROOM: AFTER

I think it's really starting to come together! I'll show the other side of the living room soon! When I took these pictures, my parents were sitting over there LOL

DINING ROOM: BEFORE

Cupcake theme thanks to our Scentsy warmer!

And that is what we have done so far :) Hope you all enjoyed and Merry Christmas!!

THE HOUSE IS.... OURS!

THE HOUSE IS OURS!

THANK YOU JESUS!

We closed on the house yesterday, thank You Lord! We were SO excited to get over there... as soon as they gave us the keys, we were out the door, haha! And guess what we walked in to?

The previous homeowners gave us some house-warming presents! :) They bought balloons that said "Welcome home" and had a picture of all of us on the mantle. They also bought us an end table for our living room that had a Scentsy warmer on it with a scent. It was SO sweet of them and above and beyond all that we could have expected. Honestly, all we expected to walk in to OUR HOME. 

I could have just bawled my eyes out yesterday. All of these blessings and sometimes I just don't feel deserving, but I am thankful that He sees us through His eyes and not the eyes of others. 

I took 22 BEFORE pictures of the house so I could do comparisons as we begin decorating and putting our furniture up. Of course, I'll post all of those so stay tuned for that :)

Thank you all for joining us on this journey... the journey of taking this beautiful house and making it a HOME.

Closing.... TOMORROW!

This is going to be a short update, but I'll post more later!

WE CLOSE TOMORROW!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS..

So, with that closing, I plan on posting BEFORE pictures without our furniture and other nifty things in it. Then, once we get everything together, I want to post AFTER shots :) I am so beyond excited! It's possession upon closure, so we are going to be pretty busy this week packing and moving. Yea boy! 

On a sad note..

I need my wisdom teeth cut out. Pronto. Boo. I'll post more about that once I know the details too! 

But other than that, 

I am SUPER excited and cannot wait to share this beautiful new chapter with all of you! Wish us luck! :)

Project 365: Day 95- September 19th

We didn't really do a whole lot today. It was rainy and icky and I felt terrible. This whole changing of the seasons thing kicks my butt every single year. So, we were lazy today. Plus, Gigi is on vacation this week, so we all sat around and watched TV. I did some laundry and cleaned, but that was about it, haha! So, I don't have very many pictures from today, so I thought I would share something else.
About 2 months ago, we found a house that we LOVED. We had made plans of what we were going to do to it. It felt like a dream. We went to the realtor to make an offer. But we were strung along.. and along.. and along. We were lied to unfortunately and just went through some tough things. We were hating the 'buying a house process.' Well, the couple counter-offered, but we had completely had it with everything. So, we denied the counter-offer and went about our way. 
Well, when we first moved out, there was a house that we saw that we absolutely LOVED. It was our 'dream house' essentially, but it was completely out of our price range. So, obviously, we couldn't even try and purchase it. Well, on Friday we found out that they had dropped the price and we could FINALLY afford it!!! So, we made an appointment to see it Friday night.. we, of course, loved seeing it in person. We made an offer. And the realtor told us to wait it out. Well, we weren't even 10 minutes up the road and we got the phone call that they ACCEPTED THE OFFER!!!! They had been praying to sell the house, we had been praying to purchase a house.... and God BLESSED us abundantly!!! I never thought in a million years we would own something this nice and beautiful. I am so thankful that God saw our hearts desire. He is wonderful to us! So, let me share some pictures everyone!! This was an announcement I have been dying to make, hehe!! :)
Here is our house! We move in before November 1st!

(I LOVE LOVE LOVE this part of the house!!)

(Our front door)

(Our office)

(One of my favorite parts!! THE FIREPLACE.. it's gas. I can't wait to make some smores!)

(I LOVE this kitchen! God blessed me above all I could have asked-- it has a dishwasher!!!)

(The main bathroom :))
There are tons of other rooms, but I took a picture of my favorites, hehe!!
Now-- my pinterest addiction is really kicking in! I plan on going to the store one day this week and picking up some things to start some projects for a few of the rooms. I can't wait to see the finished product and of course, I'll share it with everyone!
Cheers!
