House Pictures!

Well...for those of you who I have been telling I would put pictures up of our home....it has finally happened!! Pictures sometimes make things look better...and sometimes worse, but this should give you a good idea.

Here are a couple of before pics...the first one gives you an idea of the height of the ceilings.

Here is one view of the living room from the front door....And the whole view from the front door...the dining room isn't as squished as it looks

This is obviously the other view :)This is our kitchen....just big enough for Aaron and I to maneuver around each other! It is small, but suits our needs just fine!This is the lovely master bath area...there are four doors that go into it!! One to the shower, one to the closet, one the the bedroom, and one to the hallway. (The bedroom is off to the right).And last but not least, our bedroom!

Sorry for all the detail, but that's for the family :). The baby/guest room has not been redone and is scattered with my sewing things right now, so I will post a picture of it a little later. And the hallway bath is not finished and you can't really get a good pic of a bathroom anyway! :)

Before I sign out, I just want to say we are sooo thankful to the Lord and to Aaron's parents (who are greatly helpfing us live here) for this wonderful home! We feel incredibly blessed! God would still be the awesome God that he is, even if we didn't have all these blessings, but we give Him all the praise for what he has given us.

AND...one last really neat testimony of how God has provided above and beyond! Aaron and I had some spare time on Saturday and decided to browse Craig's List for a baby crib (just for fun of course) We weren't expecting to buy anything so soon, but we found what we thought was a great deal! Someone was selling a crib and changing table (oak) for real cheap, and it looked like it was in good condition. These items were located about 45 min. away, but we called our good family friends who live there to see if they would be willing to check it out. Well, not only did they check it out, but they bought it for us so we wouldn't have to go get it and brought it to church the next day. When Aaron tried to pay them for it, they said it was their gift to us!!! We couldn't believe it, and were SO grateful!! Praise the Lord!

We realize our lives our abundant, and it is our prayer that we would never become to comfortable or possessive of what the LORD has given us! May we always be looking for ways to bless others just as the Lord has used others to bless us!
