New House

Over the summer we moved to our new home. It's everything we've ever dreamed of--and more. This picture was taken during the finishing stages, a few weeks before we moved in. Rob was the contractor and did a lot of the work himself, along with the help of awesome family and friends. He wore himself out in the process--we were so happy when we finally got to the end. They say if a marriage can survive what you go through building a home together, it can survive anything. So I guess we passed that test!!! The fact that Rob survived it is amazing as well.

We love living in the "country" now, having so much space for the kids to run and play. The boys take off on their bikes and find jumps in various places nearby, and they can toss the ball in the backyard without it constantly ending up in the neighbors' yards. We have 2 miniature horses that just roam our backyard now, and we've recently planted fruit & citrus trees. Our next big project will probably be putting in a garden, but that can wait til after the Holidays...
