Sunday was our last day to get stuff cleaned up at the old place and as I expected I cried my eyes out. It was so crazy to see our first home so empty - it was as if we'd never even been there. After Paul gave me some much needed time to myself he said "just think of all the memories we built here...I can't even imagine what memories are to come in our new place". I swear, I have the sweetest, most caring and understanding husband in the whole world. How does he know just what I need to hear when I need to hear it?
Okay, enough of the sappy stuff. Without further ado, here are some photos of the new place - and keep in mind that we still have some furniture at my parents house that we'll get moved in as soon as we can:
The Dining Room - the master bedroom is off to the right and the guest bedroom is off to the left. That's also a sliding glass door straight through that leads to the back yard.
The HUGE Kitchen - which I love, love, love. It even has a dishwasher - YIPPEE!!!
The Dining Room, again - but this view is a little farther away.
The Living Room - we're going to be exchanging the twin bed for the couch and matching love seat
The Front Door - our front door is a sliding glass door which is to the right in this picture. You can also see the kitchen in the background.
The View from the Back Door - this is what the house looks like if you enter through the back yard. I love the bright red wall!
The Guest Bedroom - so far we've been using this room as a storage room until we get the extra bedroom furniture
The Guest Bathroom - or as we also call it, "Paul's Bathroom". It's so nice having 2 bathrooms to get ready in the morning.
The Master Bedroom - sorry about the bed not being made but we took these photos the other morning before we really started our day.
The Master Bath - this is just one view of the master bath
The Walk In Closet - another great aspect of the house is the huge walk in closet in the master bedroom. It's really gonna be great for storage.
The Master Bathroom - this one was taken from inside the walk in closet
We stayed in the our new place all weekend and we're really started to fall in love with it. It has so many things that we never knew we were missing in the old place: a yard, a dishwasher, a brand new bathtub, a second bedroom, a second bathroom, quiet neighbors, a Koi pond (which I forgot to take a picture of), a front and back porch, and the list goes on.
After all is said and done, as sad as we were to move from our first little home as a familiy, we're really excited to see what new memories are to come in our new BIGGER home!
