New House!

We are just loving our new house, everyday it feels more and more like home. We have very friendly neighbors that are always coming by introducing themselves and letting us use their lawnmower's and our neighbor has a whole backyard full of chickens, that reminds me of my childhood!! We feel soo much more safe where we are now and we feel like we are much closer to everything, church, Jake's school, and the freeway! So we don't have the whole house finished quite yet but most of it. Bare with me there are a lot of pictures but it is for my mom she can't come see us until after Thanksgiving and she wanted lots of picture's so she could invision the lay out of the house. This is the front view of our house, it is chocolate brown stucko with a one car garage and we have the biggest tree in the front yard, it is nice to help keep the house cool, but it scares me during Hurricane season, if even one limb came down I think it could take out our entire house or at the least one of our cars.
This is our front room, it is pretty small but we don't have much stuff so it is perfect for us!


Our dining room, we were just glad it was big enough to fit our enormous table.
The Kitchen, you can't tell from the pictures, but we have pretty high ceilings and my cabinets go clear to the ceiling, it is awesome I have so much space that I still have empty cabinets but really bad because in each of them there are four shelves and I can barely reach the first shelf so I have to have a stool to get to any of my kitchen stuff!
Yes, I know I took a picture of a hall way, that seems really stupid but I spent a whole day painting this hallway by myself. I am proud of it, so back off!
One of our bathrooms I didn't take a picture of the other one because it really is so small I couldn't get a good picture of it.

This is Addi's room, I had fun decorating it because her last room was huge and it looked like I had thrown a toy bed in a huge room and I never even got around to doing anything to it so I really wanted to decorate this time, so it would feel more like home. We also have two other rooms but the Master Bedroom is painted a horrid shiny red and we still need to paint over it and do some decorating and the baby's room is still overtaken by empty boxes from our move and we still don't have a crib yet. So I will have to take pictures of those when I finish them.


This is our fun den it was supposed to be our fun music room but my piano didn't fit in here and before I knew it our fun extra room that I was so excited for turned into Jake's man cave and I don' t have a single thing in here! I love this room because it has windows around the whole room and Florida is so green it is pretty peaceful.

This is our backyard and our screened porch. Our backyard is huge but it doesn't have anything in it, but Addi still loves just to run in the free space anyway so that's good. Our porch needs some major cleaning but we loves it because in Florida we love to sit outside in December and January it is the nicest time of year to be outside!




Sorry for all the picture's but we just love our new place and know that is hard for people to come and see us so we wanted to share with all of you!

Oh, I love your house!! And to have a nice backyard too, how wonderful. You are making it look so GREAT, it will soon take on the "Tanessa look." Cute and cozzy!!
Addi's room is soooo cute -- just matches a darling little girl.
We hope everything comes together for you - if not right now, perhaps when your Mom comes to visit. I hear she's had some expert experience lately. HA!!
