A Quick Look Back at Last July

Earlier this morning I started thinking back to last July. It was about this time last year that our house hunt turned into a house build as we started the very long, stressful and exciting process. Last July was full of anticipation. All kinds of time was devoted to imaging what the new house would look like and what it will be like to live there; wondering what our future neighbors would be like and how we would fit into the new neighborhood.

Now that we've been in the house for almost 7 months we have answers to all those questions. The new place feels like home. We are knee deep in the decorating process. We love our neighbors and the neighborhood. Best of all, we're building new memories and setting down roots in our small home. 

We're not completed settled yet. We still have the rest of the year to battle with the builder over things they didn't do right but we are well on our way. 

The past year has been a big one for us and I am feeling very blessed.
