We have a home...

...and we love it! It took us no time to settle in here. I am so thankful for the whole process, I learned so much from building our house. So much, like things only men know :) duct work, how far apart the support beams are in your walls, interest rates (Zzz), warranties, nail pops, the list is endless!  A couple people told me that building a house is the hardest thing a couple can go through....my first thought was "whoever said that hasn't been through a deployment pregnant" my second thought, "I'm not scared" Let me tell you...we kick that statistic in the face! We didn't argue until it was time to decide where the bed was going to go in our bedroom. Seriously. We did. So funny now. Building this house has been so fun for me and such a blessing for us. I love it. As for our little Morgan...SHE IS OBSESSED with the "new house" Saying she loves it is an understatement. The girl is so happy, excited, giggly, peaceful..all day. She loves it here. The first time I went to run an errand after we moved in, I got her dressed to come with me, we were about to walk out the door and she started crying "I don't wanna leave the new house!!" It would've been a meltdown if Eric wasn't here for her to stay home. It makes me so happy. I worried about the adjustment, but she just eased right into it with no problem! She loves her room. She LOVES her playroom! My biggest fear about us moving in was the stairs. Morgan has never lived in a house with stairs and whenever we stayed with my mom we would always carry her up and down them. Well we've been here almost two weeks now and Miss Independent can go up and down the stairs all by herself. It started off she would just crawl up the stairs and whenever she was ready to come down she would let us know and we would come hold her hand. Then it switched to her coming down on her belly and tonight for the first time she walked down holding onto the rail (with me beside her) Don't worry Grandmas and Aunts...she still has to tell us when she is ready to come down. Macy and Biscuit have adjusted great too, they don't really go upstairs without us (they haven't lived with stairs before either.) We are getting our fence installed very soon...they will love to have a yard to run in again. So will we ;) Eric is enjoying his new job. The hours are pretty random but I guess we are used to that and are adjusting pretty good. I am doing a lot of hair, hoping to build more of a clientele out in the Clover area...so far, so good.

Here are some pictures since we have been in the house...in no particular order.


Elmo joined Morgan for breakfast one morning.

There is a lot of construction going on in our neighborhood, which means TRACTORS!!! One day we went on a walk just to watch these tractors. She loved them!

Morgan got to watch tv while she was eating breakfast until we got our table...now that we have a table, no tv. Dont worry, she doesnt mind...she loves the table Pepaw made us!

One morning I was doing laundry in our room, Morgan brought in a couple books, I asked her if she wanted to lay in bed and read her books, she did. I put her up there and she started reading... I was walking around singing while she was doing this. About 5 minutes later I was in the laundry room singing and she yelled out "Please be quiet now, I'm reading my Bible!" Yes. Maam. 

She loves the "mirror" in her new bath tub.

Anthony and Amy came over for dinner one night, Morgan was showing Anthony how to play a game on her tablet. She loves them!

Jordan and Layla came over to play one day...the girls did not want their picture taken. I had to beg.

Eric and I celebrated our 4th anniversary. It was such a great day. He is such a great husband. 

Our fairy princess loves her dogs. 

Morgan isnt really interested in the potty anymore but every now and them will tell me she needs to go.

This is after playing in a play place for an hour, but she was rocking a french braid side pony!

 Sliding by herself. This is a HUGE deal for hear!

Morgan makes smoothies for breakfast every morning. She very well may be addicted. 

Playing in her playroom before bed

Watching the Panthers. So sad they lost. 


Roberts girlfriends daughter came to spend the day with us. She is so sweet and the sweetest friend to Morgan.

We walked to the park in our neighborhood, this is Morgans favorite thing to do. She goes so fast on this frog!

Now that we are getting settled here, hopefully I'll be able to post more blog post!! Stay tuned :)
