in love.

Our house is so wonderful!  It's almost 1,000 square feet bigger than the house we just moved from and it has an amazing backyard.  I love that there are all kinds of trees and living things back there.  I'm so looking forward to the kids playing in our almost 1/2 an acre yard where we have a LOT less mowing to do!  As Ann, our neighbor knows, we had a pretty hard time keeping up with mowing our huge yard in Utah with our push mower.

When you walk in our house there is a huge room that I'll be using for my studio until I find one in the price range I'm looking for.  I'm very excited about it and I'm looking forward to seeing how my awesome studio in Utah transfers into my home...that will be a while yet, though.  I've got to get the rest of my family settled into our home before I get my studio up and running.

The kitchen is along the back of the house with a great breakfast nook and family room.  There are some wonderful windows all along the back of the house that I really love.  All of that natural north light coming in is just gorgeous.  At the top of the stairs is a loft/sitting room where we'll have the art room....and a great sitting area.  I'm excited about how that room is going to evolve.

All of the bedrooms are upstairs.  This is a huge plus for our new house.  In Utah Emmett was downstairs from the rest of us and that got old really quick.  The heater, water heater, washer/dryer, and all of the weird house noises were down there freaking him out every night.  He was upstairs sleeping more than he was downstairs, I think.  We also have a guest room and can't wait to have Grandma and Grandpa and the cousins over soon. 

We're also loving that we're finally going to have a bathroom in our bedroom.  This will be the first time since we got married almost 14 years ago.  Yay!

We are so excited to be living here in South Carolina and especially thrilled about our home.  Come and visit us!

new. LIFE.
