House Take 2: Sneak Peak

Hey Y'all!
It's been sooo long since I have blogged and life has been somewhat normal. I am so glad to finally be at that point! Here is the scoop!

1. We moved back into our house Wednesday night Dec. 5th. We unpacked a little bit the next morning before we headed to our Anniversary Va-Ca...with Keaton of course who had "hand foot and mouth" and was soooo much fun ;)....then when we came back Friday evening unpacked a little more, and have been making progress slowly but surely. Here is a sneak peak of our "new" house! (oh and Keaton is doing much better!)

Here is the Kitchen and dining area. Sorry the pics are kinda yellow..it's night time and I took these on my phone. 

Living room with our tiled fireplace wall and new furniture, bathroom sneak peak, Keaton room sneak peak, and master closet sneak peak. 

MORE PICTURES TO COME!

2. We had lots of fun as a family making memories this fall even though we were basically homeless for 3 1/2 months. We are truly blessed that we still have each other! That is all I could ever ask for! I LOVE MY FAMILY!

 Here is Nottoway Plantation where we spent our 4 year Anniversary (a little belated celebration lol). It was so beautiful and so great!! I can't wait to go back and learn more about this historic plantation. It is the Oldest remaining plantation in the South and like 2nd in the nation. And it is all original...even most of the furniture. I LOVED IT!

We had lots of fun in the leaves at mom and dad's and at the Rich's, and we loved hitting up all the playgrounds! :) Plus the zoo. :) 

That is really about it in a nutshell. We are so excited, grateful, and blessed to be home; especially for Christmas! It is the best present I could hope for. I have had lots of time to reflect on what this life is really about and what is important. I have always known my answer, but I believe in it even more firmly now. I am so happy grateful for all of my friends, family, and temporal belongings we have. I have learned so much from this experience and have truly received more out of it than I have lost. I thank my Heavenly Father for giving us this trial. I hope we have passed it well. I am so happy to know that we have a strong family and that together we can get through anything. There have been so many people, prayers, scriptures, and quotes that have gotten us through this challenging time. One of my favorites I would like to share is...

FAITH

 in God 

Includes

FAITH

in His Timing.
