It's Official!!!

WE.ARE.HOMEOWNERS!!!!

This is exciting...terrifying...nervewracking...all at the same time! Hopefully the roof won't fall in anytime soon and the air conditioning doesn't go out. I'm not ready for that!!!


These are some of the beautiful flowers that are growing in our backyard right now...thanks to the previous owners. They did a wonderful job with the garden. I have a lot to live up to!

We are feeling quite at home these days. The backsplash is complete, transition pieces are on the hardwood, the backyard is newly mowed. We even had our new neighbors over for dinner the other night. They have seven sweet kiddos who all played so well together and kept Kennan and Brayden quite entertained! She even blogs!!! We found out we actually have a lot in common...towns we have lived in, colleges we have attended, people we know. It is a small world!

Kenny is settling in quite nicely at the church. He has 2 services, a session meeting, and a funeral all under his belt. The congregation is great...very welcoming and inviting. (For those of you wondering, we prepared bread (very difficult and time consuming) for our potluck the other night and everyone was able to sign up on a sheet for when they wanted to come...so no one would get their feelings hurt!!) I digress...my point of talking about Kenny at the church is to let you know you can watch our Sunday morning services LIVE!!! The church has set up 2 cameras in the sanctuary that record the service and display it live on Sundays. Or you can watch it later, as it also archives the service. Pretty cool, huh??

Congratulations! I love your home and can't wait to see it in a couple of weeks. I also meant to comment yesterday on your Potluck at the Preacher's House. What a great way to meet your new congregation!

Love you guys!!

The Live viewing of services is really cool. There are some websites that let you do the same thing for yourself such as Ustream.tv

What a good idea to have dinners at your house. I know the congregation appreciates things like that.

I love your new blog look! So cute.

The pictures of your flowers turned out good, too. You are becoming quite the photographer!!
