My First Home!

My mommy eating her first meal the weekend after they bought our house!  Electricity was not even on yet!In March of 2006,  Mommy and Daddy bought their very first home.  Daddy was able to move into it right away, but Mommy did not move in until they were married a few months later. 

Our home is in South Carolina.  Mommy has lived here her whole life, although Daddy has only been here for a few years now.  We are very lucky to live close to everything….malls, stores, groceries, gas stations, fast food places, and (of course!) Super Walmart.   We also live very close to Mommy’s family – and only a mile away from Mommy’s parents – Gramma Cill and GrandFather Jack (who This flag stays up year round!I was named after). 

Our home is a one story ranch style with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.  Mommy really loves the 2 bathrooms and feels high class now… because she grew up in a house with only one bathroom! (Daddy just thinks she is funny :) ).   Even though we’re in the city, our yard is very private!  Woods surround us on 3 sides and we only have one neighbor house.  The backyard is really big too, and we have a huge screened in patio in the back of the lot that Papa Dean finished for us!

Mommy and Daddy work hard to try to keep it clean and tidy.  They’ve been working extra extra hard since Mommy got pregnant with me!  Mommy says that when she first told daddy about me, he had my nursery painted within 20 minutes.

Maybe that’s an exaggeration on Mommy’s part, but it feels good to know that they can love me that much. :)

Our Back Porch!Since Mommy was laid off, she’s also had time to finally get our home decorated nicely.  Mommy & Daddy both love old, antique, country style furniture and themes.  They also like lots of color!  In our home you’ll find many many rich colors such as reds, browns, golds, greens, blues, yellows, wood stains, and even purples. 

During the holidays, mommy likes to decorate with themed items like scarecrows (fall), flags (4th of July), and villages (christmas)  I can’t wait to play with them all (although please don’t tell mommy that or she will worry).
