Our {new} first home!

It baffles me that we have moved on from the apartment we made home for nearly four short months. We didn't our grow it, in reality we would have been perfectly fine fulfilling our lease and our ~first year of marriage in that place before finding a more permanent home here. But with God's provisions and many amazing circumstances we have found a home indeed. We closed on September 18 and moved in a few days later and have quickly and easily felt at home in this place.

And we are so easily in love with our Southern abode. 


Moving was tiresome, but worth it. And with lots of help and the kindness of friends we were able to do it efficiently (after many hours of packing, labeling and color-coding).


We are so looking forward to all the memories we make in this home.

Busy is an understatement.

We've been getting ready/organizing before moving, attending Doggie Dip Days on base,

(Lilly LOVED it…once she realized she loved it),






running errands, gathering extra cleaning supplies, arranging appointments for carpet cleaners and locksmiths (we close two weeks from today!), looking into questionable VA appraisals (and why it’s now a condition for them to paint the bottom of that outside trim?…whatever military), being social,



making new friends, enjoying the generosity of a military four day family weekend,




starting work, 





continuously training and chasing little fur balls around the house,



…oh and we should be packing too, right?

Life is nutso, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!
