When we first started the process of buying a home in the middle of June I thought it would take FOREVER to find the home that would fit for us. I was pretty particular on a few things I wanted and needed for our everyday life. After only a few weeks of looking online and going out with our realtor a couple Saturdays, we found our little hidden gem. We moved into our house on Preston's 30th bday! July 31st :) We have been traveling quite a bit since then so we are excited to be home and enjoying our new digs for a while.
This beauty is a 4 bed 2 bath ranch. I really wanted a ranch style home instead of a 2-story. After living in a town home where I was going up and down constantly and with the kids being up and down; I wanted something easier to manage as far as keeping track of all the littles :)
I also told our realtor that we would be ok with a cosmetic fixer upper and this definitely is. We are currently in the process of finishing up a few big changes but once we are done I will do a before and after blog. We have been so excited and thrilled with the changes that we have made so far.
Owning a house has been a dream! To be honest I feel more like an adult now then when we had our kids, haha. Even though decorating gives me a little anxiety it has been a lot of fun knowing that it is our home that I get to decorate now. I am super slow in this area because I have a hard time envisioning just what I want. There will be many hours spent on Pinterest I am sure :) So far we have a clock and a picture of Christ on the wall, haha. It's a start right?!
An El Paso sunset from our front yard. Gorgeous!!
Our home is in a quiet a neighborhood and sits on a cul-de-sac. We have incredible neighbors that smile and say hi whenever you see them. At times you can here a train going by which is just like home for me :)
We look forward to spending a few years here and love our little ranch we get to call home.
