We are in!!

Judson loves that the windows are lower and he can look out and watch everything outside. He also likes that we put the hope chest in front of one set of window so he can get an even better view!!

We closed and moved into our new house last Wednesday. We are completely moved in and mostly settled. We unfortunately were met with an unwelcome surprise when we came to the house Wednesday morning. In switching utilities over the power was turned off over the weekend and we are guessing that the ice that had been in the ice maker in the the freezer melted and ran out of the freezer onto the floor making the wood floor buckle. So we have been dealing with insurance and contractors since we moved in. We have found out that it is not able to be patched so the whole wood floor area has to be replaced. It was not the welcome to your new home that we were expecting, but it will all work out and there is no other damage.

So here is our new house!!

front view

back view, sorry there is a bit of a hill and it was raining so I could not find a good place to stand, that is why it is kind of a crazy picture.

opening the front door, straight ahead into the dining area, hall closet there in front, 1/2 bath to the right and living room to the left

1/2 bath

living room

around to dining area

kitchen, if you look at the floor in front of the fridge you can see the buckling.
The kitchen is nice and it LOVE that it is so open to the rest of the house, but it is small than our last kitchen, so it was difficult to put things away and we do not have a pantry at this house.

looking back around to the front door, laundry room to the left

laundry room, this is the set that they left. We do have our own, but we have to get things changed over, right now it is set up to be a gas dryer.

garage

door to the basement

play area for Judson

the basement is completely unfinished, so we have a lot of work to do down the road
we also do not know where to put our things because we had so much built in storage at the last house, but we will get it all figured out.

it is a walk out basement and has some pretty big windows too, so that is great!

guest area for now, where the guest room will be once the basement is finished

storage for now, later it will be part storage part 3/4 bathroom

another guest space for now, will be Judson's room whenever he gets a little

Judson's bathroom, guest bathroom for now until the one in the basement is created

master bedroom

Nate's closet

my closet
yes we have his and her closets!! It is so awesome!!

Judson's room

we need to figure out where to put up his name and some shelves so that his dresser is not such a mess!

this saying was on the wall when we moved it, I think that it is cute but I wish that it were in a different place in the room and I could do with out the airplanes.

we need to put a shelf in the bottom of his closet too, everything is just kind of a mess for now, but it is all in there

There are things that we miss about our old house and many people that we miss in Lincoln, but we know that God has great plans for us here and even with the floor fiasco that we are dealing with right now this is seeming like a great place to be!
