Our new house!


We finally got our house! Kyle and I had been living in a nice, little house. It was great for our first home together, but we wanted more space to raise a family. At first, we just went to open houses for fun - something to do on a Saturday. We saw soooo many houses and never found one that seemed right, so we decided that we would just stay put and make the best of our current situation. Then one day we went to a random open house and that was it! From the moment we walked in we both felt that was supposed to be our house. I could already see our little one running around, taking Christmas pictures in front of the fireplace, etc. We went home, prayed about it, looked at our budget and then made an offer the next day. (That also happened to be the same day that Kyle bought his hotrod, but that is a different story). We weren't able to move in until the end of May, and I was really nervous that we wouldn't be moved in before the baby got here. We had an awesome group of friends come to help us move on the hottest day of the year. We are pretty much settled in now, and we are happy as clams in our new digs. Kyle has planted a garden and is enjoying the Gopher Hole (his workshop). I am loving the large living room and the laundry room. We love all the extra space and sitting on the back porch. (By the way, we are dressed up in these pictures because we went out for our "last supper" before the baby that night).




Baby Shower #2

Some sweet friends and ladies from my church threw me a second baby shower. Baby Keen made quite a haul! It was a good time with friends, good food, and the cutest diaper cake I have ever seen. Thanks, ladies!

I am blessed with some awesome friends!
