Wordful Wednesday - Our Home

It's been just a little under six months since Jason and I have purchased our first home.  We've rented in several places, but this is the first home that's "ours".

Jason did 90% of the legwork and that's the only reason it all came into fruition.  I don't like dealing with negotiations and tons of paperwork so I let him take control.  That kind of stuff makes me anxious and puts me into a rage.

We knew we wanted to live in town and had a certain price range.  The third house we looked at is the one we opted for.  Our home has a small kitchen, two bedrooms upstairs, one bathroom upstairs, and a living room.  Downstairs is our bedroom, another bathroom and a basement.  It'd never get featured on HGTV but I'm very happy with it.

We've been blessed to have a great group of people help us move from one house to the next.  I also had several friends help unpack boxes and decorate.  And, we've received many housewarming gifts.  The transition has been smooth.

Since moving here at the end of May, we've had more people come over than ever before.  A lot of of it was in the beginning, when people wanted to see the house.  But, it seems, it's been a prime location for entertaining family and friends.

Get you some friends like mine!

Another bonus is that I live only two houses down from my niece and her three children.  The 7 yoa girl and 3 yoa boy are always at my house.  They like it over at "Aunt Terra's".
