Our new home at Maple Circle



Well, here it is--our home in another day or two. Can you see why I'm so excited? Is it not the epitome of CUTE? Not to mention SPACE, glorious space inside and out.

The kitchen is so huge compared to what we've been used to. The cabinets are all really nice inside and are my favorite color--dark cherry wood. I can hardly wait to fill all those cupboards--no more dishes on bookshelves in my bedroom!!

These are the two upstairs bedrooms and also a view of the front room and front door. I love the little attic window nook in the boys' room.




The yard is lined on both sides with trees and there are sheds and a dogrun in the back that create a natural division from the houses behind us. And it's in the country on a culdesac so there's very little concern about the road in front.

I'm really glad we were able to find a place that would allow us to keep the swingset we were recently given. Also, the deck is an awesome bonus--so we still have a place for James's grill.
And you can see that there's a place for the table in the kitchen. These doors go to the downstairs bedroom (which will be an office/playroom), a bathroom, a pantry, and a large laundry room.
I honestly feel hugely blessed that we were able to find this place and that it felt right and that all the pieces fell into place for us to move there. Of course, we will be paying a lot more than we have been and it is farther from UGA, but in general I feel like it's a huge blessing from Heavenly Father. A blessing and an opportunity. Now all we need if for all of you who live far away to come on down to Georgia and visit us! You're always welcome!

My beautiful, happy boys







We finally did it.

OK, it's here. We've made our blog. Now let's see if I can keep it up without me neglecting the kitchen even more than I already do. I don't have time tonight but maybe just for starters I'll put up a bunch of pictures of our beautiful boys.
