Home Sweet Home

It is so nice to finally settle down and have something to call HOME. I was born and raised in the same town and house all my life. So I wasn't big into moving :) Then when I went away to college I move tons of times. Since Matt and I have been married I think that we have moved about 7 times. It has been really hard on me because I am not a mover. I was tired of living in apartments and hearing people through the walls. I was ready to have my own place.

The beginning of this year we moved to California and bought our first home. It is so fun to have our own place and to not hear the neighbors through the walls! We have been in our beautiful home for 4 1/2 months now and love it. We have a wonderful ward and neighborhood. People are so welcoming and friendly that they feel like family. I feel so thankful for all that we have. The Lord has truly blessed us. With our new house, awesome ward and neighbors. We are loving it here in California.

Our house has 4 bedrooms 3 full bathrooms and a loft. The boys each have their own room and then we have the guest room downstairs. The loft is the computer/toy room. I have a big kitchen that I love! Plus we have a living room and family room. So it is a pretty big house. If you guys ever want to come an visit we have plenty of room and would love some visitors.

When we first bought our home the yard was pretty bad. So here are some before and after pictures. We have been working hard on the front yard. Now that it is done we are going to start on the backyard.

Wow, what an improvement! It's amazing what a little landscaping, weeding, and some trimming will do to a yard.

Good job. :D
