This past year has brought on a ton of changes. We have lost touch with friends that are on different paths. We have gained some great new friends that are married couples like us. We have gotten closer to some friends and our family (for sure) and have a better appreciation for them and the love they show us. Kenny and I both got promotions at work and are loving our new positions. I started selling Scentsy as an Independant Consultant on top of our first and second job. I have found a love of photography and have started taking pictures for friends and family. We moved out of our apartment and into my Mother-in-law's home for about six months. The reason this did not last very long is because.... WE FOUND OUR HOME! Notice that I said HOME and not house. I belive that a house is just some place you like but that a home is where you make memories and create a life. Our home is beautiful. I have gotten to decorate and make it ours. I have pictures hung on every wall, and I even have a "family tree wall" that has a ton of pictures of our family. I have painted, hung curtains, and even planted flowers in my front yard. It is OURS and we could not be happier.
This is our house on move in day. It was snowy until the afternoon. Kenny had to stay there all day in the cold until the power/gas/water had been turned on. He's such a trooper!! He even painted in the dark for me while he waited!
We had some great family and friends helping us move in too. (Like I said we have gotten closer to some family and friends this past year and we know who we can count on now!) I wish I had gotten some pictures of all of us standing around eating pizza after everything had been moved in, but I was not thinking about pictures at 9PM that night!
The community we moved into is very family oriented and we are happy that we live close to my Father-in-law and Stepmother-in-law. We love being able to stop by their house or have them stop by to say hey or to hang out on a slow night! Family dinner and hookah nights are some of my favorite nights! :)
Until next time and with lots of love,
