Finally...Pictures!!!

I finally got the pictures of our new house off my camera!

Well Here it is!! And we love it!!





Here is a couple pictures of the yard. Needless to say it is HUGE!! We love it now, especially the 3 apple trees. I'm sure next summer when we are mowing, it might not be so great. But the kids are loving it, and the previous owners left their swing set, so they even have something to play on.





Here is the view we get to look at every time we look out our window or go out on the balcony or deck. We have great views of the reservoir, the mountains, and some hills too.

Here is Isabella's room. It is decorated pretty cute. Of course it matches nothing she has, but for now it is sure cute.

Here is the kitchen. I couldn't help myself and have already painted it. And I love it. I was pretty brave on the color choices, but I am absolutely thrilled with the way it turned out.Here is the living room upstairs. It is quite big with a balcony off the front and a gas fireplace. The border and paint have to go though. That will be my next project.


The family room downstairs, I love the brick with the wood burning stove in it. Off of this room is the 4th bedroom/playroom and full bath and the laundry room.

New house here we come!

Well after 12 agonizing days in a camp trailer, we were finally able to move into our house on Friday!!! Although it was hard ( mainly just dealing with the kids was hard, the rest was fine), I am so much more grateful for what I have and for this home I am able to live in. Its everything I hoped it would be!! We're not all unpacked yet, and I told myself "no painting" until we were all moved in. So hopefully by next week I'll start painting, I'm so excited, there are so many possibilities when its your home, and not a rental.

Jared found the camera today, so hopefully I will get some pictures taken this week and get them posted for all those curious eyes out there.

I am already reaping the benefits of living so close to home again. I was able to borrow my sisters trailer, and father-in-laws truck to be able to live. Then it was a quick trip to take it back to Lyman, all in one night. Then it was another load of furniture back to Soda, in my Dad's truck. So then tomorrow I will make another quick trip back to Lyman to take his truck back. I've never been close enough to do anything like that so it is an odd experience for me. But very helpful.

The people in Soda seem to be very nice, and very excited to have new people move in. So its a very different experience than living in the city, an experience I am loving! Its so nice to have people ask your name, or who you are, or "aren't you new". Or a big press release came out in the paper about us and buying Bear River Chiro, so now when people see me, instead of saying "are you new", they say "you must be the new chiropractor's wife." It real nice to have people notice us, and not just be 1 on 6000 chiropractors in the same city.

I will post pictures as soon as I get some!
