Happy Easter

Looking for a Pot of Gold?

If there truly is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, then we were very close to finding it this evening...the kids and I took this picture from our front deck. The end "appeared" to be just out of our reach.

A Month Later

I can't believe it was a month ago today that we finally closed on our new house. The last month has really flown by. I still don't feel completely settled in, but we are making progress. Hopefully before long we can have everything put away, tax season will be over with, and the church construction project will be finished and we can simply start enjoying ourselves again. Brian and I are both really ready for a break. He has been putting in a lot of hours at church, on top of work. I have been working way more overtime than I really anticipated. We both are overwhelmed and exhausted. But this too shall pass, and before long we will be able to just have some down time with nothing planned. I can't wait!!!

Our Living Room

Here are a couple of shots of the living room end of the great room. I still have lots of things to put up but we are getting there a little at a time. As you can see there are a lot of windows. The designer of this home must have loved natural light as much as I do. There are three sliding glass doors or floor to ceiling windows in almost every room. I really enjoy not needing to turn the lights on during the day.

The Panaramic View

This is the view from our front deck...as you can tell, we can see for miles and miles.
