THE NEW HOUSE ~ PART ONE

Well, believe it or not, 6 days later we are moved and almost completely unpacked and set up.  Now make NO mistake, this would have NEVER happened without the help of my wonderful wonderful sisters who have worked on this with me sooo far beyond the call of duty it could never be expressed.  Towards the end as Diane and I were hanging pictures and putting all of my decorations around, we became almost slap happy and would have had each other rolling on the ground laughing if we would have had the strength to do so or a way to get up once we were down there, haha.  But parts of the experience were really very enjoyable and no doubt a memory I won't soon be forgetting.  It is has all come out soooo far beyond my hopes and visions for it.  I TRIED to take pictures of everything, but I quickly could see the pictures just really don't do it justice.  Now maybe if I had a better camera and the ability of some of you to take GOOD pictures (not naming any names Genn) it could be shown better.  But I am going to post what I can and take you on a little tour.  The thing that has just been amazing was how well all of my things moved and found just the perfect place at this house.  Like I had gone out and bought them to fit in a certain area. 

The view as you enter the park.  It is soo pretty here with lots of green belts, tress, and flowers, plants etc.  You really do forget it is a mobile home park.

Our pretty new door...come on in

Porch/patio to the right side of the front door.  I am dying to get out there and get flowers and plants hung and set around.  It will happen eventually.  See the view off in the distance of pretty hills etc.  I have always wanted a front porch.

To the left of my front door ~ under my kitchen window.  I had 4 of these HUGE Sega Palms around the pool at the old house.  We brought one and my jasmine and bird bath.  Lots of possibilites here.  I am seeing wind chimes, and hanging plants for sure.  Bambi had to come.  I have had him since Melody was 4 and got hooked on the movie Bambi. 

The view as you walk into the house.  To really appreciate this you would have needed to see it BEFORE the remodel.  The fireplace was soooo horrid, haha.  My brother did a wonderful job with this one with travertine that he had left over from other jobs.  I LOVE it.  My bookcases look like they were custom built to go there, and my Kincade looks wonderful there.

Another view.  There are 3 windows across the front of the house and 2 to the side.  I just happened to have 5 matching valances, so it worked out really well.  Another perfect spot for another one of our Kincades.

The view as you turn to your left upon entering the front door.  Formal dining room off to the right as you can see.  We created the walk way with tile.  It goes into the kitchen and family room areas.

I will have to stop here as the pictures are taking FOREVER to download and I need to go to the airport and pick up my Melody (yay) as she is arriving today for 5 days for my neices bridal shower which is on Sun. afteroon.  We have soo much to do I doubt I will get back to this any time soon, but you never know.  I appreciate all of your prayers more than you can know.  I am feeling almost 100%....PRAISE God..I have soo much to be thankful I could never EVER properly express it.  I am soo happy and blessed to have this house.  I have soo much more I want to share with all of you.  Hope you are all doing well.  I have read around when I could but haven't had enough time to comment much, but know you are all in my thoughts.  GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
