Home can be a heaven on earth!

Derek and I became official home owners in Show Low!
After much searching (house hunters on HGTV makes it look so fun...it is NOT) we finally found one that we loved!
The house is beautiful but has been a lot of work with needing to be painted, cleaned, and otherwise fixed up a bit
It also had way too many trees.
Here is it's former lack of curb appeal picture:
One afternoon, three chainsaws and four men later...here it is!

I can't wait for it to have grass and bushes!


Here is the scraggly back yard:


And after!



I love that Derek is so quickly becoming a mountain man!

We are so grateful for our new home and are so glad we were able to buy while the market is so favorable! We know we will be able to live here for a long time and it feels so great to be starting off our new little family in our own home.
