What started this long absence?
We bought a HOUSE. We love our new home. I believe it is perfectly the best house for us... ever. I've even thought, if we ever move again (good luck trying to make me move again Rob Hartley), we'll copy the floor plan and build it ourselves.
(cheesing up in a great new home pic - this is Eli's Ricky Bobby windsuit that I love. It has a monster truck on the back and may be the 1 and only pic in it before he outgrows it :( This home fits our personality, our values, and size. It feels great to finally feel home. And after 4 years of marriage, that is a good feeling. This time when I unpacked boxes, I unpacked them all, as it is the first time I knew in advance that we wouldn't be planning on moving in a year. crazy.
We closed on January 21st, yep Eli and our new home are exactly 1 year apart. We spent the morning in the realtors' office - not around the dining room table in our new home, which is where I always romantically pictured closings taking place. Everyone who helped us through the home buying process attended the closing - which made it really feel like a celebration. Our mortgage broker even brought cupcakes for Eli's birthday. At the closing, we also met the owner's daughter which was cool and since moving in we've met most of our neighbors. We feel really welcomed in the neighborhood - it's a tight community. And, we can't wait til spring - our home is on the dogwood trail and it's apparently a sight to behold when they all bloom.
(Not only is he the best realtor ever, Eli's love for him is enough to make Grandparents jealous!)
