We did it! We found a house and not just any house but the perfect house for us. We signed the papers to make it ours on May 29th and started moving in things that day. We were so blessed to have so family and so many friends from our ward help us move everything in. Our first house guests were our two youngest nephews while their parents were out of town for a few days. We have the greatest neighborhood and already love our new ward.
We have started projects to make it ours including paining the master bedroom, starting to strip wallpaper off the walls of what will be the nursery and of course, Melissa's favorite "dirt therapy" also known as gardening. JD has his office set up and the family room is all set for movie night downstairs. There is still painting to do and pictures to hang on the wall but those are projects that we will be working on for awhile. The shop has quite a few pieces of furniture for Melissa to refinish and JD has become king of the yard learning to adjust the sprinklers and taking care of the yard. We even got a BBQ grill and can't wait to break it in at a backyard party soon.
Here are a few pictures so you can see what our home looks like...we sure do love it!

| The dining room...I love the fireplace (and there is another one downstairs) |
