Home, Sweet, Home

Well I took a two week hiatus from writing the blog in order to get ourselves  moved into our new home. 

We actually moved in a year to the date of meeting with the builder for the first time. As it turns out building a house during a pandemic comes with its own set of challenges considering the builder initially said he took about four months to build a house. 

All our hard work, and patience, though, has finally paid off. I couldn’t be more pleased with our home. In addition some of the setbacks along the way actually worked to our advantage. 

Sadly, though, the old days of having the entire house unpacked and pictures on the wall took closer to two weeks this time. 

Of course, our third grandson was born in the process of getting settled, and these over sixty bones aren’t quite as young as they used to be. 

However, that being said I am quite pleased with how it is all turning out. Thanks to some input from our daughter we were able to come up with some pretty awesome furniture placement that we had not considered before. 

Some of my favorite things in the house are the large front porch, the built in bookshelves in one of the bedrooms, the dual purpose laundry room/ walk-in pantry, the extra large walk-in closet in the bookshelf bedroom...who am I kidding I LOVE it all.
