Home

We have been in our home for almost three months now, and we are loving it! We have put so much work into fixing it up and making it look nice. Here are a few before, during, and after pictures of everything we have done so far!

Our parents helped us so much, and Matthew and Anna have jumped in to help lots of times, too. The hardest part was taking out the tile in the dining area and kitchen. But the wood floor throughout the whole downstairs really helps to make it feel more open. We painted everything a fresh coat of white and it feels so light and airy! The kid's rooms got done this month, and they are loving feeling settled in their own spaces.


There is still a long list of things to do, but most of the big stuff is done and we are enjoying settling in to our new home!

Mississippi

We have been in Mississippi now for over two months! We've been so busy that time has just flown by. We got here and got settled as quickly as we could, and then enjoyed a wonderful few weeks in Utah with family. We got back here and jumped right in to swimming lessons, church callings, setting up our house, and making friends.

We love our home and feel like it will be a good place for us for the next two years. I tried to get everything organized and put together as quickly as I could so we could move on to other things!

Mississippi is very green and hot and humid! We've had a few intense storms and lots of rain. Everyone we have met has been super friendly and we really like the area.

We have already visited Louisiana, Alabama, and Florida! We are so close to the beach and lots of other fun things. Joseph is really busy with his residency, but we are figuring out our new normal and I'm sure we will be very happy here. Matthew & Anna start school tomorrow, so our busy summer is coming to an end. We are looking forward to this new adventure for our family!

Home

We still have a few boxes hanging around, and most rooms don't have anything up on the walls, but we are slowly getting there. Here are a few peeks at some of my favorite spots around our house. January is always a nice time for projects and organization since it seems like time slows down so much after the holidays. Our winter hasn't been too cold, but it has definitely been wet so we still spend most of our time inside!


And Legos, of course I had to include the Legos that are always spread all over the floor. :)

Around Here

Here are some more pictures of our home, with a few Christmas decorations mixed in. We love having so much space to play, work on hobbies and crafts, and run around. We are looking forward to spending our first Christmas in Texas, and I'm definitely not complaining about the 75 degree weather we've been having!



Happy Holidays!!
