Happy 28th Birthday to ME!

I’ve been house-hunting for almost three months. Until the past couple of weeks I had yet to find anything I was impressed with… over the last few days I spent countless hours driving around looking at different properties, trying to find something we can be happy with, but coming up completely empty handed. I woke up this morning a 28 year old woman :) This is the first birthday I’ve spent without Barry since I was 14 years old… he called me and told me I would have a great day :) I had an appointment to meet with a lady to see a house I’d been looking at (from the outside lol) for several days. Barry told me I was going to finally get the house I’d been looking for on my birthday — well, he was RIGHT! I absolutely fell in love with the house the moment I walked through the door. It was much larger than it appeared from the outside, which was obviously a nice surprise. So, here are a few (*ahem* … a TON) pics of our new house — we move in next weekend!!

The Robertson’s Home :)

Talia on the front porch

Our back yard — fenced in! Queen will LOVE it :)

The side of the house (yes, that’s a SUN ROOM!)

My new kitchen… smaller than I’m used to, but I still love it.

This is what you see when you walk through the front door:

The living room (don’t you just LOVE the beautiful floors?):

The dining room (which leads into the sun room):

The bathroom and the master bedroom:

One of the kids bedrooms (Talia’s & Ava’s I believe)
and the other bathroom:

The laundry area:

The pantry and the hallway leading to the front door:

The sun room, which will actually be the boys’ room:
(Kylan & Kaleb’s bunk beds will be on this side)

The other side of the sun room/boys’ room:
(Tre’s bed will be on this side)

This is the view of the dining area from the boys’ room (sun room)
which leads into the living room:

The area off of the kitchen, in which I will be putting a breakfast nook
as well as an additional counter space:

The medicine cabinet/mirror in the second bathroom:

Same medicine cabinet, closed:

My step dad doing the “Egyptian” in the breakfast room (lol):

My parents in my new kitchen (they LOVE the house):

with the dining room and living room behind them:

That’s all! I’m SO excited about moving. We will be moving in within the next week so when Barry comes home from offshore, we will already be completely moved in and settled. This has been the best birthday EVER :) I mean… aside from me being one year closer to THIRTY haha
