home

ahh it feels good to be home. 

we are officially all settled in to our new home and it feels oh so good. it has been a crazy couple of months (hence the gap in posts...oops)! leaving behind our first house as a married couple was easier than i expected. i thought i would feel a little sadness or something...but nope, nothing. instead, i felt pure JOY. which is partly (and when i say partly, i mean completely) due to the fact that i am in love with our new house. i honestly don't think it's normal to love a house as much as i love ours. it's weird.

BUT maybe you will be able to understand my love when you see it for yourself...if not, just pretend you do. ;)

so here it is, the grand tour...

my FAV place in the whole house...the living room. (Kobe wanted to be a part of the photoshoot)

had to capture this beaut. pretty proud of my diy gallery wall :)

aaand here we have the kitchen/eating area. no, it's not a dining room....we're not fancy.  (please excuse my naked doors...currently in the market for curtains.)

even the hallway is pretty. (see, i told you...in love)

guest room numero uno...or as Caleb calls it, "the cottage". 

masta boudoir. <3

again, pretty stairs. *sigh*

hubby's man-cave a.k.a football room

so there ya have it. now do you understand why i'm in love? (smile and nod, please)

anywho, it's a work-in-progress. my {semi} crafty self has a few diy projects planned that require more moola than our contract currently allows. (sorry, inside joke.) but, as soon as the moola starts rollin' in, i'll update you lovelies with the finished projects. 

hope you enjoyed the grand tour!

life lately

ah sweet springtime *sigh*

the weather is warmer and the colors are prettier...how can you not love spring? the changing season is a little reminder of the big changes happening in our lives. the hubby is all geared up for his new job as head football coach. and yes, in case you were wondering, football season does start in the spring. i know, right? 

anywho, along with a new job comes a new place to call home. our current home is being packed and boxed up to transport to the new home. let me just tell you, moving is not all it's cracked up to be. i don't recommend it. boxes on boxes on boxes! moving day is 6 days away and I. CAN'T. WAIT. i'm beyond excited to be in our new house. it's super cute :) {pics to follow soon}. however, it will be bittersweet leaving my hometown and our first house together as a married couple. 

if i've learned anything over the past few months, it's that life is constantly changing and ya gots ta roll with it. 

as we prepare to start this new chapter in our lives, i will be closing a different chapter in my life. that chapter is College. my last day of student teaching is may 9 and graduation day is may 18. seriously, i could jump for friggin' joy! i'm SO ready to change into my big girl pants and start my teaching career. obviously, this will require a teaching job first. buuut that's a blog for another day. 

i think it's safe to say that we have ourselves a {very} full plate for the next few weeks. 

rather than stressing over the looooooooong list of to do's and what if's, i'm choosing to embrace the changes and enjoy the beautiful spring weather. 

God is good.
