Today is the day!!!

Homeless No More!
Yes, as of today at 3pm we will no longer be homeless! We are set to close on our house in Jasper! Yea!! We have been waiting for this day for SOOOOOO long! Approximately 7 weeks of being homeless! We have been working hard the past week to start preparing to move. Harris has been VERY busy putting in hardwood floors upstairs and building a railing for the stairs. Below you will find a couple of pictures. We love this house and all the possibilities with it. It is an older home that has been loved incredibly and we can't wait to carry that on. The house sits on almost 6 acres and backs up to Blackwater Creek (for those of you who know the Jasper area). In fact, the back of our "yard" is the creek. Great for fishing and lots of exploring for a young boy. The best part is when it is just right, you can hear the water from the back screened in porch. To be honest, this house has a lot of what Harris and I have always said we wanted "one day"- tons of porch space, rooms to grow into, and land to love. Well, that day is today! We honestly weren't planning on this just yet but it is amazing how things work out the way they should. We know there is a bigger plan than what we know and we feel that this is just a step in the direction we are being led. Moving van loads on Wed!!! View of house from the little road that ends at our driveway. There are nesting houses all along it for lots of birds!
View from front.
Discovered last week that there is an apple tree that has apples great for pies and baked goods!

View of house down by the creek.
This is where we will be working hard to have great gardens.
My goal is to have a pumpkin patch next year!!


Closer view of backporches (my favorite places).
Great screened in porch, side deck for grilling and covered porch downstairs for bike riding and playing!

Congratulations! I know it will feel great to get moved back in a place of your own-and what a great place! I know you will all love it, but Tucker will have a BALL! Good luck with all of the moving :)
