Our New Home...we hope!!!

Assuming all goes well today at 3pm Luke and I will be proud first time home buyers. We have been in the works of looking for and purchasing a home since we got engaged. We have been blessed to have the opportunity to start off in a place we can call our own. I could not be more proud of what we are getting and I am very excited to host anyone and everyone in our new home.

It was my ambition as a child to take an old bus and fix it up to be some kind of home. Some ambition, huh? I lacked the ambition is more like it :)! This is a far cry from a bus and something I never planned to have so early. Thankfully I am marrying someone who had bigger dreams and hopes for our future together and I am excited for the day when we will share this new home together.

Keep your fingers crossed!!! We are looking forward to having it all squared away and we hope any and all of you will come and visit. Luke will be moving in hopefully sometime in June/July and I will follow after our honeymoon in August.















This is obviously the front of our house. The current owner has taken a lot of time working on different projects inside and out, and has really made this place into something beautiful. As you can see he has planned out some very nice landscaping. Luke and I are really looking forward to spending time together keeping up such things.















This picture and the one to follow are of our back deck. This is also an awesome addition to the house. Luke and I are all too excited about grilling out and having people over to hang out. We know this will be an great place to do it. The current owner is also responsible for this little (haha) project. He really took something ordinary and made something extraordinary out of it.















This all seems and sounds a bit to me like bragging (sorry if you agree :)) and I find myself often holding back my excitement, but I have to honestly admit it is sheerly my pure joy and excitement at the ways the Lord has blessed our road to marriage. I cannot express how much I appreciate His hand in the course of our relationship. He has guided us and pushed us to great things. To God be the glory and I hope this house is more than just a home to Luke and I. I am truly excited about sharing it with all those that we love. We are blessed and we do not forget.

I hope to get a little better with this blogging thing. Great things are happening and everything is really falling into place.
