All Moved In

I am now happy to say we are in our new home here in Dandridge, TN. Thanks to many church members and my amazing Mom things went smoothly and quickly with the move in. My mom cleaned, made curtains, and cooked a great meal while she was here. I felt like she was the energizer bunny making loops around me, she found things to clean that would have gone untouched otherwise. Thank you mom for everything you do!
So far, I have all the boxes unpacked and things are where they will stay for the most part. We quickly noticed that our cute little cozy apartment furniture now looks miniature sized for this house.
We once had cute little nooks like this:

The one bookshelf we kept fell apart while we
were moving. I used to complain about all of Andy's books, but they look pretty all color coordinated in our old place. I'll have to search craigslist for some new ones.








We now have huge empty spaces like this:

Right now I am reminding myself that things are not what make up a home. A home is where my man is and were good meals are made and friends are welcome to gather. I can busy my self tirelessly at making this house look pleasing to the eye, but am I really making a difference in the life of my family if this is all I focus on? I have been blessed beyond belief, and if this corner never looks picture perfect then so be it!





So, we have plenty of room to grow in this place as you can see. We have been busy hanging pictures this week and I'm enjoying cooking in my kitchen. Monday we started taping and priming in little girls room. We finished the priming and now on to the actual paint. Once we get that done I already have curtains to hang that mom made and then I'll make the cornices and have Andy hang those. We have the crib, a dresser my mom found, and I ordered a glider just a few days ago. Little girls room is coming together nicely! I'll do a separate nursery post once I get a few things finished.
