Some early photos of our new place.

Many of you have noted that I haven't been sharing any photos of the new place.  
It's been overwhelming at times as we begin to make the changes necessary to call this our own home.  I dug through photos to find "before" photos.  

The stair case in the main living room.  This is before the previous owners moved out. 

The *beautiful* basement.  With an early "flat screen TV!", and built in surround sound.  Notice the wood paneling.  

Lots of wallpaper and dated things.  Just a glimpse for you.

Purple bathroom with painted vanity.  

Now here's where it gets good.  This is a view from the upstairs bedroom in May.  See all the pretty trees?

And here's a closeup of what we found in the backyard.  Lots of bluebells.

Hiking around the property when we were still shopping for this place.

The back of the house.

The pasture and fence before the new septic and well were dug.  This is looking to the neighbors across the street.

So there's the beginning view of new place.  
It's been a blessing to see God's handiwork in all the little things around here.  
The nature, the neighbors, the space and the quiet.  
The ability to have friends over and to keep the children busy and working well.
I wondered if we would ever find a place.  It was all in God's timing...
and that's going to have to be another post.
