I have had many friends and family members request for me to post pictures of our new house. I have been hesitant to do so for a couple of reasons:

1. Sadly, we are still not totally unpacked.

2. We still have A LOT of empty walls and bare spaces that need a little TLC.

3. There always seem to be toys on the floor, dishes in the sink or other incriminating evidence that we live here. It seems that there is never a great time to take pictures of the house.

After three months of living here, I have finally compiled some pictures of our (mostly clean and mostly unpacked) house. It was no small task! Here are some of our favorite features.

The Backyard.

Mostly just a big square of grass with very little landscaping and some new sod that is struggling to make it through the hot Summer but I LOVE IT! I love that it is fully fenced, I love that our only backyard neighbors are the cows that come over to feed at night. I am even getting used to the fire ants and scorpions that we have found back there.

The Living Room

With my cute little Carter Ben and the world's most comfortable couches.

The Laundry Room

Need I say more?? I love that it's a laundry room instead of a laundry closet like I've had the last ten years. I also love my super handy husband for hanging up extra shelves for storage.

The Boys Room

They aren't really into pirates- but I am. And the bedspreads were on sale...

The Office

a.k.a. The "Man Cave"

Usually if Colby is home, this is where I can find him.

I'm not really sure what he is doing in there all the time, but I've been told that it's important.

Kitchen/Dining Room

Love all the cupboard space. And the fridge with a water dispenser in the door. And the vegetable sprayer. This is usually where you can find me. Drinking cold water, and spraying vegetables and dishes, and happy as a little clam about it.

The Playroom

Don't be fooled, it's never this clean. Usually you have a hard time seeing the floor underneath all the toys, but that's the beauty of a playroom. I love that the toys are on the floor in the playroom and I'm not tripping over them in the kitchen. I would like to say that this is usually where the kids are, but lately if the boys are at school, Abbi is down in the kitchen spraying vegetables with me.

Master Bedroom

More Master Bedroom

For those who were dying to know, we finally replaced our old dresser.

(the one that was literally falling apart, so much that Colby didn't even have to open his drawers to get his clothes out). I am a firm believer that waiting for things makes you appreciate them more!

So there you have it, our home for the next three years. If anyone was wondering- we are always up for visitors. I'll let you drink all the cold fridge water that you can drink, I promise that alone will be worth the trip.
