This was taken couple years ago when we got that big snow between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love my little house, even though there still is alot of work to be done to call it our. We moved in it November 1st, 2003. It was a spec-house where this was the first house a builder completed as a new contractor. There are alot of upgrades like hardwood floors, chair railings, wainscot moldings, and crown moldings. However, there are some very generic features in the house such as taupe walls and off-white carpeting in the bedrooms.
This is what if looks like normally. There are alot of things I would like to do with the landscaping such as create an area where a small wrought iron bench would sit on a stone patio, venear the walkway with stone, stack stone edging, and add path lights or a welcome post light.
This house has a lot of memories for us. Our kids were only 10 and 12 when we moved. They would ride their bikes down the streets of the subdivision. This house was also the first house we bought after we rented for a year. My husband lost his job with the airlines after Sept. 11, 2001. We came within two week of forclosing on our other house before it sold. Our credit went to crap. That year of renting was good for us though. There were lots of lessons learned in how and how not to do financially in the future. This house was a sign that, Yes....we will get through...God is in control....he knows what is best for us!
Since we've been in this house, both kids have went through high school, got their own cars, got their own jobs, going to college, and my husband got his job back and never lost seniority status. GOD IS IN CONTROL....He looks at the big picture... while we focus on the pixels!
