It's been a while, as usual! We are FINALLY in our house! It took a lot longer than anticipated (delays with the bank being one MAJOR problem), but it was completely worth it in the end. We got our keys on July 3rd and Jon spent the entire next week painting like a madman. I am so proud of him and all of his hard work! He painted practically the whole thing by himself (with a little help from a few friends, fortunately). He did such a great job, but he isn't planning on painting again for the rest of his life. He had ENOUGH! :)
We spent the next week moving in, and what a mess that was! I forgot how much I loath moving! I never want to move ever again! :) No, it really wasn't too bad. We are practically finished unpacking the boxes and getting all organized. We haven't quite finished decorating our walls, particularly because they are so HUGE and our pictures that we have are so SMALL. We are having a difficult time figuring out where to hang things!
Anyway, here are some random pictures of our house, although I still can't figure out how to upload the pictures in the order that I want them to be in.

One wall of our den (we had a bigger black TV, but it broke in the storage shed...oh well!):
Master Bath:
Lizzie's Room (and new big-girl bed!):
The baby's room:
Our "extra" room. This room is an exercise room/craft room/junk room. I love it!
Our laundry room. We were given a set of cabinets for FREE that we are installing today. They will go to the right of the machines in the little nook in the wall.
Master bedroom (please excuse the windows with paper and blue tape -- we can't afford blinds quite yet!):
Here's Lizzie in our den dancing to Michael Jackson. She LOVES dancing to his music! We have been listening to his greatest hits CD recently and she can't get enough of it. :)
The view from the front entry-way looking into our den. We are eventually going to get a couch in there, when we have money. For now, the two rocking chairs will do. It makes it pretty tough to snuggle with my husband while watching a movie though...
View from the front door:
Our dining room/living room area. It is so HUGE! I love all of the extra space!!! We are eventually going to get a chandelier and a large mirror to go on the red wall behind the table...
Our kitchen, which I absolutely love and adore. There is plenty of counter and cupboard space. And the pantry is large enough to hold all of our food and then some...I LOVE MY NEW KITCHEN!!!
Another view from the front door...
Anyway, there are just a few pictures of our house. I love being in our new home! We are so incredibly blessed, it's not even funny.

It looks wonderful!! What a spacious house :) Enjoy your new home!! :) Hope the pregnancy is going well!
Congrats on the new place. I'm sure you are LOVING every minute. I hear you on the moving thing. No fun for sure. Enjoy it!
WOW!! What an awesome job Jon did. Your house looks amazing! Of course you decorated it so cute, too. I am so glad you are all in and got things set up. I bet that's a relief. How's the pregnancy going? Do we get a baby bump shot? I bet you look so cute.
Your new house is fabulous! And good for you for having so much decorated already (we've been in our house over two years and still have mostly blank walls... I have a dumb phobia of putting holes in walls...) I love all the paint colors you chose (your husband did a great job with the painting!). And your new kitchen is amazing, so much space! Congrats on a beautiful new home!
P.S. Lizzie looks like she's grown up much lately! What a cutie! And I'm with Amy, I'd love to see your baby bump. :)
Its so nice! I love all the paint colors! Congrats on the new place!!
